The "Kirby Gamecube Game" probably wasn't Air Ride, but the old cancelled kirby game that turned into Kirby's return to dreamland. If you don't know, the game basically went through 3 or 4 scrapped versions on the gamecube before being moved over to the Wii. There are videos on KZread that explain the story in way more detail so go look at those.

Metroid Prime did not need a reevaluation. It was criticized after it was announced as first person, but the demo silenced almost all of that when it was clear the gameplay would work.

The description of Nintendo in the 2000s kinda feels like how I feel about media from the decade as a whole. A lot of things tried cool new ideas that were thrashed at the time to the point where the reputation of some media released in the period never fully recovered, a lot of people say media in the 2010s relied a lot on nostalgia and avoided experimentation and to be honest I feel like a big part of that was a reaction to how utterly brutal the response to the experimentation of the 2000s was

I personally like the name “Mario’s Party Quest” more than “Mario’s Carnival Quest”. I think that “Mario’s Party Quest” has the same benefits you mentioned (using the word quest implies it’s more of an rpg and it’s further removed from being a main line Mario Party), while highlighting its status as a Mario Party spin off more clearly (things like rolling to move and mini games). Also, “Mario’s Party Quest” makes more sense for the narrative of the game, given that the game is about Mario’s Quest to save Party City

People hated "The Wind Waker" at the time because of the graphics, it was a blunt departure that Nintendo paid the price for it at the time. When you hear "Mario Party" you automatically think "multi-player" so the idea of a multi-player game in a handheld console that relied on link cables and multiple cartridges to do that disencouraged people to even try the game in the first place. Bad marketing. Like the video said, Nintendo's communication at the time was lacking.

I feel like the minigames could’ve also been improved if they had a reasonable difficulty curve, like if they got more challenging the further you got through the game. Some of the minigames are genuinely very fun, but by the time you’ve mastered all of them they just get so easy to the point where they feel like a massive waste of time. If they had harder variations, this problem could’ve been fixed and it would be way more fun, perhaps by increasing the speed of the obstacles, increasing the score needed to win, or changing up the level design.

Man I used to love this game as a kid. I never played the original Mario Party so I just thought all of the games would have been like this if I played them. Never knew it was such a hated game.

I had this game on an emulator as a kid (10-12; I'm 22 now), and I didn't have expectations for it one way or another. though the dialogue is charming, I really don't think it's a misunderstood masterpiece, especially not for kids you can fix the minigame frequency, but it's still a game whose main gameplay is trawling from one end of the map to the other over and over, even in the best case. in the worst case, you're replaying quests you've already mostly seen, 'cause running out of mushrooms resets mid-quest progress. skill issue: as a kid I was bad at the minigames & got stuck on the quests, so that happened to me often. and to beat the game, you gotta do absolutely everything! only 40 quests to go, keep it up! I found the main game impenetrable and punishing, and there's very little content outside the main game... so there's just nothing to do you never mentioned you can play with the Gaddgets - but they're just incredibly shallow one--to-zero-feature toys. one of the initial Gaddgets is "a stick that falls over in a random direction, for purposes of betting on"; another is "a graphic of a lighter flame you can turn on and off". several of them are shallow multiplayer-only minigames that may as well just exist to make lonely kids sad. and there's not really a standout the Gaddgets feel like a joke at the expense of the player, a wide variety of unlockable shovelware. they really demotivated me as a kid: the extrinsic reward for playing through the main game is random junk! and I didn't find the main game intrinsically fun, so there was just nothing there for me so the main game kicked me out when I got lost, and the minigames were paper-thin... compare the first WarioWare game on the same system, whose sidegames were good enough to sell on their own on the DSi shop! compare Hamtaro: Ham Ham Heartbreak, which has a similar slice-of-life-y charm but has low-stakes gameplay to complement it. MPA was a poor value, and I didn't even pay for it MPA should be appreciated through the lens of it being an oddity; it's a terrible package for kids. personally, it was much better and more interesting as a youtube longplay than an interactive product, which is not something I think should be able to be said about a video game 'masterpiece' I hope my comment may be cathartic to anybody else who had a similar experience with the game!

I am legitamitely surprised this is the most hated Mario game. When Mario teaches Typing, Mario is missing, and most importantly Hotel Mario exist.

Those first two are actually decent at their function: Being educational and being made for pre-10 year old kids. In that, they actually do their jobs properly. And Hotel Mario isn't even a bad game, it's just a lackluster one. It's a low-effort clone of Elevator Action, but fundamentally it's not even that bad.

Besides the points brought up in the video about why -Mario Party Advance- Mario's Carnival Quest got slammed, I can think of a few more. 1) People think of the 90s as the 'edgy' era, but plenty of that lingered well into the 2000s as well. The harsh reception Wind Waker got at the time wasn't just because Nintendo previewed Zelda as one thing and delivered something else, it's because that Space World clip showed a Zelda that was Mature for Mature Gamers, and Wind Waker was a bright cartoon. 2) More than any other Mario series, the Mario Party series suffers from sequel fatigue. I think it's because most of the other series learned to obscure how many titles there were with different titles, whereas in 2005 Mario Party said loud and proud that there had already been six of these things. 3) Negativity sells. It sells on KZread when people talk about the worst game/movie/book/breakfast cereal ever, and it sold in game magazines and websites. The problem is, as demonstrated by the Kane and Lynch Gamespot debacle, some games are beyond criticism if their publisher is funding them enough. So when an acceptable target is in their sights, I think it can lead game reviewers to be disproportionately nasty.

the mario series has such a great sense of humor that tends to go unappreciated

This was one of my favorite GBA games growing up. I get it's not everyone's cup of tea and it's nowhere near a traditional Mario Party experience, but for a single player offering in the same spirit of the series I think it does really well for the system it's on.

I won't say REALLY well (I assume better ways to incorporate the 1 player gameplay with this fetch quest format) but it is fine enough.

Y'know, this seems the type of game I'd play for a while, then never touch again, and then re-discover, with the cycle repeating itself endlessly.

It’s easier to appreciate this experimental era of Nintendo when you know it’s not the end game. You can enjoy a game like Mario Sunshine a lot better when you know games like Mario Odyssey and Bowsers Fury will happen.

Hello, I really appreciate the balance changes presented by your hack! Though, I was wondering if you could present the title screen change as a separate hack, or even create an alternative simply titled "Mario Party Quest"? I appreciate the idea of trying to revise the game's identity to better match what it is, but I feel that's a completely separate goal from revising the balance, so the balance changes should be available to players who are fine with the original title. I also would prefer not to remove "Mario Party" *entirely* from the title, as this game is still ostensibly a Mario Party spinoff. I feel titling it "Mario Party Quest" at the least would still identify this game as a mechanical spinoff, without attempting to erase its very clear relation to Mario Party (which is relevant even in the game itself, with what the gameplay is based on, and Party-specific characters showing up). Really hope you can provide a revised version of the hack later when you have the time. Thanks!

The preview made me think this was gonna be about Super Mario Sunshine ._.

The video starts at 5:26

Even just the pixel art and character designs are so incredibly charming, I can't believe nobody gave it the benefit of the doubt just because of the name for so long...

Really? This is the game considered to be the worst Nintendo game? I don't know, I had it as a kid and I had fun with it, I knew it was inferior to the other Mario Party games but I never considered it a garbage game...

It's hard to say any Mario game is the worst one because that title Goes to Paper Mario Sticker Star.

please do not use opera GX it steals your data and gets your exact location (without telling you anywhere in the browser btw)

Now Fix Paper Mario sticker Star…. Genuinely. I really wish it was better.

Just gotta completely gut and replace the gameplay, story, and half the environments. How hard could it be?

Bro took 5 whole minutes and 28 seconds to say the title of the game (it's Mario Party Advance)

a singleplayer campaign themed around a coop/multiplayer game honestly sounds brilliant

7:59 Uh that's how most spinoffs are though. That's what spinoffs are _for_ in the first place. Mario Party itself is a spinoff series of the Super Mario platforming games... Mario Party, Mario Golf, Mario Sluggers, DDR Mario Mix, Wario Land, SMW2: Yoshi's Island. All spinoffs of Super Mario. Hell, the original unsuper Mario Bros is a spinoff of Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros is a spinoff of Mario Bros and Donkey Kong Country is also a spinoff of Donkey Kong. Heck, it wasn't until Mario vs Donkey Kong that we got anything _close_ to the classic arcade Donkey Kong trilogy again but it was a puzzle platformer, still a spinoff.

For Mario it's actually really hard to tell what counts as a spinoff, since the series was designed from the beginning to be able to work with a lot of genres.

I’m absolutely sure Mario Party Advanced isn’t the most hated Mario game in a world where Hotel Mario exists. It’s not even bad, it’s just a bite sized Mario Party game with a strange, but charming single player mode. You’re not missing out by not playing it, but it’s also not bad to the point where you want to give up like Hotel Mario.

When I saw this, I thought this would be about Lost Levels and I was getting ready to disagree with you. But, now I'm surprised that Mario Party Advance gets this much hate.

7:47 Disagree. Final Fantasy is the ultimate example of "titles do not matter" and "every game can be as different from the last, title be damned." Especially for Spin offs. The Spirits Within , Crystal Chronicles, aren't JRPGs, and they are barely related to the core series, yet they all have plenty of fans. Fans need to take responsibility for once in their lives.

Final Fantasy built up an expectation of every game being substantially different: FFII went completely nutso with its progression system, FFIII had a better class system than the first game and FFIV had a playable party of actual characters (this would become status quo but it was still different at the time). I'm not entirely sure how FFV and FFVI changed things up but I know for a fact that they did. FFVII would introduce more contemporary settings (which again would become status quo but still new at the time), FFVIII had the draw and junction systems, FFIX was a throwback to the first three to six games, FFX had turn-based gameplay and the sphere grid, FFXI was a persistent-world online multiplayer RPG, FFXII had the license system, FFXIII had the paradigm system and crystarium I think it was called? FFXIV is another persistent-world online multiplayer RPG with real time class changes, FFXV had a setting more closely based on our world and more action-based gameplay and I never played FFXVI and likely never will so IDK aside from it copping GoT (which Yoshida did to a lesser extent in FFXIV with Ishgard but apparently this game went full GoT? Pretty sure Ishgard got all the dragon stuff though) with a return to a high fantasy setting.

People thought THIS was Mario's worst game?! Oh, those sweet summer children. There are games that would leave them BEGGING to play Mario Party Advance.

it took until 5:26 for him to say what the game actually was, what the fuck

This looks pretty cute and charming... If you ask me the worst Mario game and a game that should be hated is Super Mario Bros 2. Japanese version of course, American version is great. The japanese version was just a worse version of the first one with like two new things? Poison mushroom and wind. No new enemies, music, level types, power ups. Weakest sequel and mario game I have ever seen.

Күн бұрын

That's the game I was expecting.

I had a similar first experience with the game as others around the time of release and I didn't even read reviews: Essentially I didn't get it, lol! Part of the issue is because it's hard to get anywhere without building up some mushrooms so the inevitable fails at minigames didn't tank progress. Which happened a LOT when first starting out. So as I never was really able to get into the meat of what the game was, I put the game down and shifted to other ones that I had a better time with. I ended up trying it again years later to give it another chance. This time I was actually able to get somewhere because I eventually got a starting run that was favorable for me to get some mushroom backups. Now suddenly I was able to get into the quests which were indeed very enjoyable to see how they played out and I wasn't under the pressure of losing progress which made things feel a lot more relaxed too. The more you get into it, the more you understand how best to get around too. Not just "shortest path" persay, but more so aiming to hit those green dice roll spaces by picking or rerouting your path so you keep hitting them or have the best chance to hit them, hence why there are small branches made that let you pick a side to offset your dice roll. With some luck you can even get pretty far without having to do a minigame. Which indeed are quite an issue when it comes to navigation and start to feel cumbersome. That is where I think they get a lot of flak from since they come off as more like a chore getting in the way of goals. Plus they can make you forget where/how you wanted to go because you had to focus on the minigame and then you have to check your notes. But they definitely are not all bad. Even though it has some flaws, it's indeed nowhere near as bad as the reviews out there make it out to be. It's just a really misleading game that can be hard to even get going in. ----- Also: Do not get/Use Opera GX. I tried it a few times and found it to be one of the worst performing browsers. On top of that, I later found out there's a strong likelihood of data collection. My recommendation is Firefox.

6:59 "From the time" *Wii U entered the chat*

Both the game itself and the name change that you did reminds me of what Rare did with Mickey’s Speedway USA and Mickey’s Racing Adventure. If Mickey’s Racing Adventure was called like Mickey’s Speedway 2 or something along those lines, it would really throw people off

I LOVE THE DK BONGOS

isn't opera gx literally spyware did we all forget about when they made everyone watch their stream that one time

3:35 There actually was a sequel or follow-up to Kirby 64 in the works for GameCube but it was canned. The biggest broken promise was Earthbound/MOTHER 64, which became the Japan-exclusive MOTHER 3 the GBA. Granted that was 1999 but close enough.

I would marry bowser too.

this game feels like a mix of Wii Party and the Mario & Luigi series. it's the same art style, and seemingly same humor, as Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time, and it's got the same "roll on the board to land on a random minigame or event" as Board Game Island or Globe Trot from Wii Party. having loved both as a kid, i think i'd adore this!

In 1984, Nintendo announced we would get the AVS. Instead, the AVS was redesigned from top to bottom for 1985...We got the NES!

4:20 Many of which either _were_ N64 games (like the Japan-exclusive Animal Forest (Animal Crossing) for N64 with the GameCube game being released in Japan as Animal Forest+ ) or were planned to be N64 games.

What happened to the pump it up restoration I’ve still been wondering about that

Frankly, here’s my problem. I bought a Mario Party game with money from my parents. I had a 4-player link cable, and wanted to enjoy it while making new friends. This game has no real link support to speak of. Returning it was unthinkable, as the game was not defective, it was just not the product I’d been advertised. When I finally did get my feet under me after what Hudson had done, I found that the store I bought it from wouldn’t accept it as a return, they’d only buy it at a massively depreciated price. I’d already been getting into emulation at the time and had sites. I went 100% emulation that day, and I have not looked back. Mario Party Advance is part of the reason I will never invest in Nintendo products again without being able to fully emulate the system and the games. They do not see one red cent of my money until I know exactly what I’m getting and have decided that it’s worth the expenditure.

I played this game as a kid. I had never heared of any other Mario Party game at a time. I went into this with literally zero expectations. And I really loved my time with it. I had no expectations of what is or isn't there. I had literally nothing to vompare it to. I simply played it as its own thing, and I loved all of it. Your patch sounds like an interesting idea. But why questions are: * how did you balance the Minigame Spaces, if at all? * Is it still possible to unlock all of the non-quest minigames from the Mushroom challanges? Cuz in the original, these would happen often enough to garantee you unlock them all by the time you finish the story. But inf your rebalancing, would that still happen? * Any chance for different tweaks to the number of turns/miniagames? I feel like 10 turns is too much. Maybe 5 turns would be better. It'd be frequent, but not as annoying. And by the way, given the freedom of going around the board, I'd say that landing on Minus Spaces is mostly the player faults. Yeah, the deadly stretches in the Pipe House areas are all Minus, and Bowser Jr does get really annoying in the late game. But usually, given how you can always choose which way you're going, it is very often possible to plan your route in such a way that you usually land on a Dice Space, thus get an extra turn instantly. You might still get unlucky, but the Dice spaces and the "Location" non-spaces are frequent, and I've always found it fun to strategize how to move the car in such a way to land on a Dice space.

I think people only hated it because it was different from the other series’s games, if you see it as a different game, then it’s good.

People say there are too many Mario games. Although I would like fewer Mario games if we could get a New Kid Icarus or an F Zero game instead, I still think we can never have enough Mario. Mario is to video games what Dragon Ball is to anime what Spiderman/Batman is to superheroes. Mario creates masterpieces after masterpieces. Whether it's Mario Kart Mario Party Luigi's mansion Donkey Kong Yoshi the Mario RPGs every different Mario series are good or great
