It’s Thursday, so lets jump into our second Throwback Thursday. Now, for me the is going to be a long weekend because of presidents day. With that, I have picked a good game for you and your friends to get together and waste the day…
MARIO PARTY
By now if you have never played a Mario Party or don’t know what it is, I’m sorry, but where have you been for the past fourteen years. Mario Party, on paper, must have sounded like a bad idea at first. With all of the great adventure games, RPGs, and puzzle games Mario has been in, who would think to put him in a digital board game. We all can be thankful that this series was created. Mario Party is a simple concept, you and three other friends get together and try to make your way around the game board buying stars. The person with the most stars after a predetermined amount of turns is the winner. Of course Nintendo wouldn’t be able to squeeze eight games out of just that (Okay well maybe they could). After every player has moved, they all engage in a mini game. These mini games are varying between 4v4, 2v2, and 3v1 (the teams are determined on what color space they land on).
That video is a trailer for the ninth installment of the game on the Wii, and give you an idea what the game is about. Over all, just go out and play this game. It shouldn’t be to hard to find seeing as you can get it an any Nintendo system since N64. You and your friends will have a good time…if they are still your friends after (No one likes getting their stars stolen).
