how can a game on the 8th itineration be any fun? Aren't you Wii owners sick of mini-games yet?

how can a comment on the 1,000,000 iteration be useful or intelligent? Isn't Shawn sick of saying the exact same thing yet?

Just curious Shawn, but have you ever played a party game with a bunch of people?  Like 4-8 people and not just gaming males...but females and people that don't normally game?

The games are FUN, under the right conditions.  Do I play Warioware and Raving Rabbids every single day? Nah.  How bout once a week?  Probably not.  Yet when I have a group of friends over those are the games they want to play.  Throw in some alcoholic beverages and presto...everyone is laughing and having a blast.  They are even better on the Wii, because watching people make a complete an utter ass of themselves is part of the fun.  Everybody has different poses and positions for playing Wii games and its frickin hilarious.  Thats why people enjoy playing these games.  They are just plain fun.

Its like DDR, Karaoke Revolution and Guitar Hero.  Those games are fun to get to play alone and get high scores. Yet they are made 100x better when you have a group of people to play with.

Yep, I agree completely.  I've got a buddy that bought a PS2 and Guitar Hero 1 and 2 so he could invite his neighbors over and jump around like an idiot. 

Hell, I bought 3 sets of maracas to ensure I'd have the right setup to look like a fool playing the Japan only sequel to Samba De Amigo.  Ahh, good times.  hmm, maybe I need to have another vid party and cookout.  Way better times than the usual poker/cookout.

I've downgraded my estimate of your age to four now.  At your current rate I'll have you estimated to be In Utero soon.

Dude, what part of that did not clue you in he was joking...  Perhaps, if he made it a larger font would that have helped?

You are funny fever! Seriously, I am busting up right now. You should put your notice in at work today and take your act on the road. I love party games. I love the Wii. It is the most amazing system ever created. Oh my God, the motion controls are perfect. Every game is an A+. When I play Mortal Kombat I really feel like Johny Cage. Thank you Nintendo!!!!!!!! I can't wait to play Mario in Hell! Mario Power Lacross! Mario and Sonic Olympics!!!!!! Oh Party Games! I love them!!!!!!!!!!!!! Party! Party! Party!


Yes I have played party games with a group of people and yes I have had a good time but I can't hang my hat on system that doesn't seem to produce much else.

What? Mario Party 9? Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear God, are people really so easily fooled? 


He says something that he knows people can't help but disagree with, right after just doing the same thing, and in the same post where he does it the second time he says "take it easy guys, I'm just kidding".  Who do you think Shawn is to actually be able to make a joke with that kind of set up? Rodney Dangerfield? 

Hey Actraiser, the game Actraiser is stupid and if you like it you're a silly fanboy without a valid opinion.  You just love anything from the SNES indiscriminately and can't actually be judging the game on it's merits.  Then perhaps I shouldn't say anything because I'm in the land of the SNES morons.


Hey take it easy Actraiser, I'm just kidding.


Oh yes, you can just taste the humour in attacks like that.  I'm frankly amazed anyone at all here ever falls for it.
