Mario Party 9

IMO, the series went HORRIBLY downhill when they decided to replace the item shop with the STUPID capsule system in Mario Party 5 and onwards.
 
Mario Party 6 had really interesting maps and gameplay mechanics, and having the story be completed just by playing parties and stuff instead of having a story mode instantly puts it in my favorites.

Everyone says that all of them sucked after 3. I liked 5,6,7,8. 4 could've been better but what's wrong with the others?

I loved 4 and 5. I thought 8 was OK...it kind of seems better if you don't play it for a while. I don't have any of the others.
 
I love 4, but like I said, once 5 replaced the item system, it all went to pot for me.

And then they added the microphone, which in my opinion just made it worse.
 
Mario Party 7 was a rather amusing Mario Party title, IMO. How often do 8 players get to play at the same time?

Anyway, Mario Party is pretty much retired now, so I really don't see a new Mario Party title coming up.

THIS a million times.

Also, I want a reduced character roster, with NO GENERICS. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Rosalina and Diddy Kong/Donkey Kong Jr. would be excellent.

I actually liked the capsule system. Once items were placed on spaces, they would stay there forever, and that was manic by the end. If they do make MP9, they should have 8 player online, completely get rid of candies, and have boards like every MP before it had, not straight ones or fancy 3D ones. Also GC controller support.

If you don't like generics just don't use them.

The thing I find wrong with having generics is that when they become playable characters, they don't use that species in minigames or boards anymore. I mean, Boo has hardly appeared in any Mario Parties to steal coins and stars from other players since he had become a playable character (besides those few times in MP6).
 
They need to make it more frantic, thats what was so good. the feeling of "Don't land on that!" and then you land on it and it stuffs you all up or when you get an item and stuff up your friends whole strategy to get the star. Good Times :)
