Mario Party 8

As you may know, I own a Nintendo Wii. I previously wrote about how I had wanted to buy Cooking Mama. I did get the game and it is very fun. Although, some of the moves that you have to make are difficult for the system to respond to. However, now I am eagerly awaiting the release of Mario Party 8. I just saw the commercial for it on television and it inspired me to find out more. Many people are already familiar with Mario Party. I am pretty sure that Mario Party has been around since Super Nintendo days. However, this Mario Party 8 is going to be drastically different from the previous versions of the game. This is due to the advanced Wii controller. The controller kind of brings the game to life. For the most part, Mario Party consists of mini-games. Which are small tasks that you must do to proceed with the adventure. From what I have seen, the game consist of many tasks including jumping rope, hammering nails and navigating various vehicles throughout short courses. The game is going to be released on May 30Th. I am sure many Wii owners are eagerly awaiting the release. However, there are still a lot of people waiting to get a hold of a Wii. The Nintendo Wii has done so well in comparison to the Sony PS3. When the PS3 became available to the public I remember the craze surrounding it. Two of my cousins sat in line for days waiting to get there hands on one. They got theirs and like many other people they sold them on Ebay. This created such a stir that many people bought there PS3's for double or triple the price. Now they are sitting in the stores collecting dust. Personally, I think that many people believed that the PS3 was going to be more than it really is. If you care about graphics and the newest technology you might be more interested in the PS3. However, it is really expensive and so are the games. However, with the Wii it is something different. The whole family can enjoy it and it is more affordable. Once people started hearing about the Wii, people were hooked. The popularity of the Wii has also increased the popularity of the Nintendo DS, which is the previously release from Nintendo.
