Mario Party: Star Rush

So, for anyone who watched the Direct, it seems they'll be fixing up one of the series problems, dependence on luck, at least, I think so. Or for one mode only.

That part where the Nintendo gal said about a certain mode I can't recall atm "It's pure skill, and no dice" seemed to have quite a bit of focus.

Thoughts?
 
I dont think ''luck'' was ever a problem in Mario Party.

These games whole point is to play similar to a board game , and surprise surprise ... real life board games have a certain luck factor.

They are party games for a reason.
 
Toad Scramble looks fun, but I wish you could choose your character, instead of being forced to play a Toad.

This can be problematic for the solo game modes though, especially when you "have" to win to progress. In Mario Party 9, you can't allow Shy Guy or Magikoopa to win, or else you have to restart the board all over again.

It makes me wonder if being forced to use a Toad is even necessary. Why not just pick your characters and have the rest be thrown into the pot, up-for-grabs?

Apparently, you'll be able to do that with amiibo.

Daisy's got some skinny ankles!
When is she going to wear turquoise heels again?

What a bunch of crap, we use an old 3DS and now we need an extra stupid 3DS amiibo adapter crap thing to access more stuff. Sigh -_-

Yeah basically this.
I mean I will buy the Daisy amiibo no matter what because it's Daisy, but since I use an old 3DS, I will have to pay extra 20€ to play my favorite character.
