Talk:Mario Party: Island Tour

Returning minigames
In the direct I saw that a minigame similar to the ball minigame in Mario Party 2 (wasn't it?) and a Parachutin' Gallery like minigame.  Superstarxalien169  13:40, 17 April 2013 (EDT)
 * As you said, they may be similar rather than the game returning, it'd be better to wait for more information Yoshi876 (talk) 13:42, 17 April 2013 (EDT)

Image category
Should we still have an image category, even if it's a working title at this point?

08:01, 19 April 2013 (EDT)

I dont think we should not have one, since it's a working title.

About the characters

Is it confirmed how many characters are in the game? And who is playable or not?

ESRB, Developer, Release Date
IGN lists that the ESRB rating is E. And lists the developer as Nintendo. It also lists the Release Date as Q4 2013. Chaossy (talk) 09:35, 29 April 2013 (EDT)

Boards have special mechanics?
I heard that all Boards will contain their own special rules, like Mario Party Nine, but without the Vehicles. So...is this confirmed?

Release Date
The release date on the page is incorrect. The source just shows the number of the month, it isn't the actual date. For example, Pokemon X and Y are release on October 12th but it shows 10 on that page because it's the 10th month, like November is the 11th. I don't think I can change it though. The dates for games which have them are shown in the smaller boxes above.
 * Fixed it, and in a few days you'll be able to edit everything.

Gamestop says release date Mario Party 3DS
I was searching through Gamestop.com and it said for Mario Party 3DS that the release date was November 1st.--Mariobro101 (talk) 15:25, 22 July 2013 (EDT)
 * Sorry, but Gamestop is usually inaccurate and gives out false dates and can not be considered a reliable source. -- 17:59, 22 July 2013 (EDT)


 * Some people say the release will be Nov. 17th, but we'll just have to wait until it's announced.

I looked some where once and I saw that it would be released on November 22.

Box art revealed, characters revealed, release date revealed.
Check it out. Here's the source.

Confirms a bunch of characters we haven't seen yet, including Yoshi, Waluigi, Boo, Flutter, Shy Guy, Kamek (could also be a generic Magikoopa), and Bowser Jr.

And according to this flyer, it's coming out on November 22nd in America.

 * Are there any sources that 100% confirm which characters are playable and which ones aren't? Right now, most of the inputs on the article appear to be mere speculation.  18:08, 28 August 2013 (EDT)

New Characters Playable or Non-Playable?
Are the new confirmed characters really Non-Playable? Or are they playable? Because Bowser Jr. is holding a shell like in a minigame.And Boo is holding a mushroom like an item. Should we add an "Unknown" section under characters? cause it doesn't confirm they're NonPlayable.

Well if they're not playable, then why are they on the box art that wouldn't make sense and I agree, Bowser Jr. is on the game board and Waluigi is holding cards hinting he's playable plus Kamek/Magikoopa is beside him. Rosalina is on the gameboard of the box art though of course she was seen on the side of the space themed rocket jet race but still she's on the game board. Yoshi is running with Wario on the gameboard in the boxart hinting playability.

There is a source, but the source doesn't confirm their playability, so their status of being NPC is unconfirmed. 18:47, 28 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Would it be easier to just name the section 'Characters' and get rid of play-ability status until release date? Because at the moment we don't know that Yoshi is playable, or that Boo is non-playable so them being in those sections is speculation.
 * I'd just rename the section "Other characters" so we don't muddle "playable" and "nonplayable" characters. 18:54, 28 August 2013 (EDT)

Hey, I found a site that shows Koopa Troopa being playable along Princess Daisy, Mario and Toad. http://andriasang.com/con0y3/media_create_sales/ That's the proof I found.


 * Just looked at that, and that's a screenshot of Mario Party 9. I remember that screenshot from a review I read of it.

Crud, it looked convincing. I'll keep looking around to see if I can find anything. Oh yeah do you guys mind if I help out with this?
 * Help out wherever you can. Also you don't need to add the unsigned template after your username, you should use . The only reason I did was because it was unsigned and you were probably unaware.

Oh ok, I'm just new at this.

Translation
Toward the end of the trailer, the Japanese names for two of the boards (the mountain one and the space one) are shown. If anyone could give a translation of those that would be wonderful.

-Toa 95 (talk)

I will use my computer to translate the names.--Mariobro101 (talk) 09:37, 14 September 2013 (EDT)

Duel Minigames
Should their be a new duel mini game section under the minigame section with the new judge minigame?

Toad Town Map
Unless I'm mistaken I think that the Toad Road like map is part of the Toad Town one.

Shy Guy's Shuffle City
Are those cards that Luigi is holding on the box cover got anything to do with this board? Could the different colours shuffle that colour area of the board when played?


 * It has been stated from several articles iv read that the cards are specific for this board and require some sort of strategy i have yet to work out. So yes they do and its unknown what they do. - Cubeguy2ver.pnguy(talk)    BOO!! ^w^

Oh, okay. I haven't read that many articles. Thanks.

Boxarts
I can't see anything different between the beta and final boxarts. Is it the coloring? Is it really worth to mention? MegaKoopa  Talk  13:13, 19 October 2013 (EDT)

I think the beta should be remove, other than the rating label, there's nothing different about the cover. -- L    151   14:02, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
