I tend to get baked and play any one of the MP's with my wife and brother-in-law. We've discussed MP9 and what we hope they have in the game (updated Bumper Balls). Has anyone heard anything about it? Motion+ is a must.

Can't say I'm looking forward to it particularly, but I'm sure it'll be lots of fun when it does show up.

It looks like they're spending alot more time on MP9 than many of the previous games in the series (provided they started work on it at the time of MP 8's release), so i think im looking very much forward to its release.

I skipped Mario Party 8 because the reviews said it was pretty much a Gamecube with few implementations of IR and motion controls. I'm really looking forward to a Mario Party with good motion control, some balance board games, Motion + compatibility.

I love Mario Party games. People talk crap about it all the time. It's a board game people. One of the one board games that DOES change. When is the last time Clue, Monopoly, Sorry or any other board game as made a change other than a cosmetic one?

It's gotta have either online play or online records. I will destroy anyone in Domination (MP 4).

Yes, you are the only one looking forward too it, but that is because no one thinks a new one is coming

I would love for a new Mario Party, but I can live without one, so whatever.

No, you aren't. Millions of people bought Mario Party 8. I was one of them.

I am more interested in games that incorporate the Balance Board than if it uses the Wii Motion Plus myself.

I'm really surprised it isn't out yet, its been over 2 years now!

They did bring out Mario Party DS though, wonder if they are planning another handheld one.

Really, handheld is where its at - Wii is almost a distraction for Nintendo.

You're right, it has been two years... The game came out when my daughter was born (Either the day of, or the day after, I forget.) Sweet God, where is MP9!?!?!?!
