Talk:Mario Party 8

Mario Party 8
Some of this just seems like fan dreams. Pauline? I'm fixing this up for now, but uhh. Feel free to correct me. Evan

I have seen no evidence of a Mario Party 8 (yet) where is this info coming from? -- Sir Grodus

It has been confirmed now that there will be a Mario Party 8 in 2007. It's even at IGN! Paper Jorge ( Talk&middot;Contributions&middot; ) Paper Jorge was here at... 19:34, 18 September 2006 (EDT)

By the way, Pauline now has a chance in the game after her apperance in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. I'm putting her up again. Paper Jorge ( Need to tell me something? Go to my talk page.&middot;Contributions&middot; ) 21:38, 5 November 2006 (EST)

Blooper?
Confirmed? Proof? Paper Jorge
 * I just got my issue of NP today. That's what it said.

Boxart
The boxart was found at GameFly.com. Paper Jorge

Revert
 I'm confused. Are names supposed to be linked once in the article and once in a pic? -- Yoshi  626  23:21, 2 January 2007 (EST)

Names are only supposed to be linked once in the whole article. Paper Jorge


 * But what about this? Donkey Kong is linked twice. -- Yoshi  626 [[Image:Egg.PNG|20px]] 18:27, 3 January 2007 (EST)


 * Yea Game and Character. There different.
 * Why would this apply to characters, but not games? -- Yoshi  626 [[Image:Egg.PNG|20px]] 15:19, 4 January 2007 (EST)

Characters
Are There going to be more than 14 characters?--Fg 15:08, 16 January 2007 (EST)

Probably not.----

Blooper's Appearance
Does anybody know if blooper appearance will be the standard blooper pictured in the blooper article or gooper blooper?I Hope It's the standard blooper.--Fg 18:56, 16 January 2007 (EST)

Currently it's a normal Blooper. Paper Jorge

Yoshi Pic
Could somebody please add a pic of Yoshi, there is just about everyone except him. YoshiFan 23:42, 3 February 2007 (EST) A Yoshi-loving user

What about Blooper, Hammer Bro, Dry Bones, and Birdo. There aren't any pics for them either.----


 * I always thought that this was the Yoshi art... --YellowYoshi398 23:50, 3 February 2007 (EST)

Well, I did not know about it. YoshiFan 23:53, 3 February 2007 (EST) A confused fan of Yoshi.


 * I can't say that I'm even sure right now... I'm pretty sure that image was referred to as the Yoshi art when it was in use, but I've also noticed that it's on that Nintendo Monopoly board, which came out two years ago. Mario Party 8 still isn't even out yet, which gives me doubts... Paper Jorge uploaded it; maybe he knows. --YellowYoshi398 23:59, 3 February 2007 (EST)


 * Never mind. He must know; he's added it to the article. Thanks, Paper Jorge! --YellowYoshi398 00:00, 4 February 2007 (EST)


 * The pic was a scan out of a Mario Party 8 section...[[Image:Mayor.gif]] Paper Jorge

Mc and Hat
Are the eyes on the hat Mc's or it's own?----

the hat has its own life. MC has his own eyes if you look closely. Paper Jorge

Candy Names!
I heard from a website (once again, forgot. Sorry!) that the Vampire and Airplane candies were called Wingo and Whirlo candies, respectfully. Should I add those names or wait until it's confirmed? User: Maxlover2


 * Wait, as you can't site a source. -- Son of Suns

Sorry!

It's confired! It says so in Nintendo Power. Paper Jorge

confired? what's that? Maxlover2 20:22, 19 February 2007 (EST) I'm confused. really. did you mean confirmed?

Character Artwork
Does anybody know where they got the artwork for the characters in mario party 8, and why didn't you add birdo, dry bones,hammer bro., blooper?--Fg 16:22, 15 February 2007 (EST)


 * My guess is because they're unlockable, and Nintendo doesn't release artwork of unlockable characters.

But, it shows Birdo and Dry Bones in the character selection screen in a movie on YouTube. YoshiFan

Regardless, where did those images come from? --Stumpers

I said Nintendo doesn't release artwork of unlockable characters. Youtube lets anything on.


 * Actually, your wrong Monty Mole. In Mario Kart DS, they released artwork for every character, including unlockable ones. How about Super Smash Bros. and Melee, StarFox Command, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and I'm sure theres more. However, I do not think that there is artwork for MP8. Possibly though. And yes, I would like to know where you got the artwork. --Bentendo 17:11, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Wait a minute! i saw on wikipedia on the Mario Party 8 page they showed the character selection and it had Birdo and Dry Bones there and two ? marks for Blooper and Hammer Bro! (P.S They have deleted it for some reason. By the way my username is [Super Yoshi 10])

Not Released Yet
This game isn't coming out for at least a month, most likely 2-3 months. Not today, March 5th. 23:37, 5 March 2007 (EST)

This game is already released.
 * No it isn't. 19:32, 7 March 2007 (EST)

Well, there is a pirated version, but it's REALLY cheesy.

Gotta link?

no... Its for Wii, not computor! and I don't now any sites that sell it.


 * We don't wanna play pirates.... Silent but deadly! SuperLuigi821 You lost everything. Way to go genious.

Mario Party 8 Gets a Make-over
There is a new version of the boxart of Mario Party 8. Go to your nearest GameStop or EB Games to see it: It has only Mario and Luigi with the carnival background. No other characters. Dang, and you thought the old boxart was bad? Silent but deadly! SuperLuigi821 You lost everything. Way to go genious.


 * Umm...anyone care to find the newboxart? Silent but deadly! SuperLuigi821 You lost everything. Way to go genious.


 * Dang, I can't find the new box art anywhere...are you sure it's official? I bet it's just store made... User: Fixitup


 * No idea if it's storemade but you can find it at EB Games/Gamespot. Silent but deadly! SuperLuigi821 You lost everything. Way to go genious.

Blooper's Apperance
Now that the game is out, can we get a screenshot of blooper? Waluigi Fan 13:10, 1 June 2007 (EDT)
 * I didn't see him until I bought the game! Why should you??--Gray Yoshi?

Sorry
Samantha Kelly acted as Peach for this game. (And maybe Toad and Toadette but this uncomfirmed.)Princess Butterfly 15:29, 17 November 2007 (EST)
 * May I have some proof, please.

Team Names
Are they really neccesary?
 * The only way I'd include them is a table, I've tried to implement one, but there are just too many characters. So I don't really see a place for them. - 06:25, 21 November 2007 (EST)
 * I mean, do they really have to be here at all?
 * That's what I was saying: Either as a table, or not at all. - 06:27, 21 November 2007 (EST)
 * Oh, OK. I think we should get more opinions before we remove the list.

Proof
At then end of Mario party 8 when the credits roll the person whom play as Peach it show Sam Kelly I didn't see Ms. Mills. Princess Butterfly 15:19, 24 November 2007 (EST)

I agree 'bout the table the teams names would look better in a table. Princess Butterfly 16:06, 25 November 2007 (EST)

Needs Improvements
Maybe it's just me, but this whole article sounded more like an opinional review with terms like "cool new boards" and such; but I fixed the most noticable problems there. The problem is, the article needs to be overlooked and tweaked. I found little errors everywhere, such as the use of 'you' instead of 'player' and incomplete sentences. It isn't that bad, but for how long the game's been out, someone should overlook this and do minor edits here and there. I do not own the game and don't want to do anymore than I have to. General Kelt


 * I actually gotta agree. I don't have the game either. And I don't wanna do it, since I just got into a "Flame War" someplace, so I'm kinda feeling bad...


 * Hope you feel better bud. Remember, it's just on online fight with someone sitting at their computer and shouldn't be capable of hurting you in any way, even if it does cause emotional pain. General Kelt


 * Good point. Thanks.

Fact or Opinion?
In this sentence: "The game is more notable than its prequels for its strong use of the Wii Remote in minigames.", is that a fact or an opinion?

That seems like more of a fact because it explains why it would be more notable.

Japanese Version
Hey guys I have the Japanese version of this game! Anything about differences between versions U and J ask me! User talk: MarioParty8JapanMarioParty8Japan 06:22, 24 November 2008 (EST)

Candy Names
Hello. I just wanted to ask if Thrice is a real word. For example "Thrice Candy" Is in the game. Answers Please! User:Mariofan459 11:00, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Yes, though it's dated. 11:20, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

Critical Reception Section?
Is that really necessary?

I don't think many other articles on here have one, so I don't think it is. --Turkishcoffee 01:47, 5 April 2010 (EDT)


 * I do think so. Such sections fit perfectly into an encyclopedia. 06:20, 5 April 2010 (EDT)
 * It's always good to have "real world" information about a game, including development and reception. More articles would need that. At least four of the featured game articles have a reception section. But the bad about this article's section is that I don't see any citations. --Grandy02 07:12, 5 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Both of those are really good points. --Turkishcoffee 08:12, 5 April 2010 (EDT)
