To be honest, Mario Party 10 looks really disappointing. I think it will be better than Mario Party 9 (which was by far the worst Mario Party game in the series, in my opinion), but it looks like a new version of Mario Party 9. The boards are still linear and everybody still drives in a cart, which absolutely kills the game. It was so much fun to take different routes, use orbs, collect stars (not those mini-stars), and do things independently. Now, it's just boring. The boards look really nice based off Nintendo's images of them, but I know I still won't enjoy them because they're linear. The mini-stars are back (hooray...), but I saw that the regular stars are returning, too. I'm not sure where they'll be in (I think maybe Bowser Party), but I hope you can use them instead of mini-stars. The minigames actually look pretty good, though. It reminds me of Mario Party Island Tour. Island Tour had terrible boards (they had good ideas but they were too linear and Toad talked way too much), but its minigames were top-notch. Bowser Party looks like it could be fun, but i'm still not sure how great it will be. How many minigames does it even have? Nintendo hasn't shown off very many Bowser Party minigames, and I feel like they'll get too repetitive. The minigames they have shown for Bowser Party look like they'll be really fun, and they use the gamepad really well, though. Amiibo Party could be great, but the boards just look too small. Plus, all of the boards are squares. The only difference between Amiibo Party boards are the different attractions based off different characters (like the Poltergust in Luigi's board). I feel like they could be fun with multiple people who bring their own amiibos to play it, but if you were by yourself, I feel like it will get repetitive and boring too fast, which kind of sucks since only one of my friends actually have an amiibo compatible with it (and I only have one that's compatible with it, too) and I like to play Mario Party in single-player (yes, i'm one of those people).
Overall, it just looks disappointing. I might get it if it goes on sale or something (and I don't know if that will happen since Mario Party 9 is still at MSRP), but right now, i'm just hoping it will be better than I think it is. I really want a great new Mario Party game, but it just doesn't seem like i'll be getting one, unfortunately.

The series took a dump after Mario Party 4. 5 was boring, 6 was okay, then 7 was a repeat of 6 (like within the same damn year almost), then they tried to do 8 as the old style and it was alright but so far gone, then 9 = *vomits all over everyone here*, if 10 blows then I'm done for good.
Island Tour wasn't bad like people said though, really it wasn't, totally worth a pickup if you've got at least 1 friend to play with and even playing by myself was alright. So I have some faith left that it could turn around. I wish they'd virtual console MP3 that was the best one imo. But I can live with 2 on the Wii menu.

10 does not seem tooooooo bad. I think i am nostalgia blind from 4,5,6, and 7 because those were my childhood games. I didn't like 8 or 9 though. I hope the last 2 characters are boo and dry bones

spike would be cool to play as

I like Spike too. I don't get though why Nintendo always switches around like 1 or 2 extra characters. They do it with Mario Kart as well. Notably Dry Bones is gone from this entire generation but by the time "Mario Kart 9" and "Mario Party 11" comes around they'll have dropped Spike, Pink Gold Peach, and probably anyone else who doesn't fit in normally even if they're popular.

They already revealed that both Toadette and Spike are going to be the unlockable characters in Mario Party 10. One of the screenshots revealed that there's only two spots for hidden characters, so...

I have preordered this version of Mario Party 10 from Nintendo UK Store.
I have got a Peach and Yoshi amiibo preordered on ShopTo.net. They are ?12.85 each.
I have also preordered a second Toad amiibo as I have a feeling that he is going to be the "rarer" one of these Super Mario Collection amiibo... This Toad amiibo is ?12.85.

So in GameXplains newest video, link, they just said that in Amiibo Party you have to scan your amiibo EVERY TURN.
Thoughts?
Part of me hopes there is a very good reason for this and something is saved to your amiibo to make it slowly learn something / there being a reason for this. But I can't think why this can't be done at the end of each board instead of every turn. I did hear before though that if you use an amiibo for smash bros you need to delete the data on it to use it for MP10, so clearly something is being saved here. :?
On the other hand, 4 player amiibo party, every needs to scan each turn, that sounds like such a chore. Such a waste of time, and from what I've seen/heard doesn't even do anything. Part of me thinks this was done entirely to make amiibo party annoying, so people don't want to play it. Then they'll tell nintendo they prefer the other playstyles so that Nintendo can pretend people feel that way because they prefer all being in the cart. Either way, the small part of me that wanted to buy this game just for amiibo party just tripped over a hurdle and faceplanted.
On a different note, apparently if you have more than one relevant amiibo you can mix and match the quarters of the board to make different ones. Which at first sounds cool, but then you remember all the boards are the same, so ... what is the motivation for this? Can anyone see something I'm missing here?

I guess if each person has 1 amiibo in their hand then it's not as awkward, but if you're by yourself playing with 4 amiibos that'd be the rough part. But still every turn? :/
I still can't grasp what they're doing for this game, they unlock special boards in Amiibo Party that resemble a real board game, but okay then what happens?
Good thing Ive got a bunch of amiibo that'll work with this game so I don't have to get new ones to try it.

I think you don't have to do it for CPUs. Seeing as you only need 1 amiibo to unlock the mode, it'd be a bit weird to keep needing to scan the same amiibo for each.
And other human players can opt to not use amiibo, but then they play with a 2D cut out character instead of the amiibo pieces seen. ~ which is even more ridiculous in my eyes. Atleast one person has to scan an amiibo everytime their turn comes around though. And that person has to play with a wiimote and not the gamepad, just to make it more awkward.
The amiibo boards are more like the old collect 20 coins to buy a star, person with the most stars wins. So what they're doing for this game is appealing to all the people who blended their MP9 discs.

OMG THE CUTOUTS ARE HORRIBLE. I saw that and I'm just like why....
I like the idea of them doing the old way 20 coins to a star, but what a strange way to execute it. It sounds like they're making you pretend you're playing a board game in real life.
Literally this is the make it or break it game for the series for me.
you just have to touch and release your amiibo from the gamepad thing to roll the dice on your turn, it shouldn't take as long as say saving data from smash bros. It's just a gimick I guess. The advantage to using an amiibo instead of a cut out is you can attach the pieces (such as the roll 5 dice) sticker thing to your amiibo, and it saves it... as well as customize the base of the figure in game... as well as getting to use their board.
You said it's like they're making you pretend like you're playing a board game in real life, and I think that is what they're going for. This shows some reason why you use the amiibo on the gamepad to roll the dice, it just adds some forced interaction with the amiibo so it's not a case of 'scan it at the start of the game then put it away'. By the style of the board and the fact that you have all those cute animations of the pieces getting knocked over by the dice seems to support this too.

That's a detailed version of what I thought and didn't feel like typing. It's totally a gimmick cause it's pointless. You may as well just tap it once like Smash and be on your merry way. It also seems like a way to make use of the gamepad in a mode that didn't need it.
I guess it really isn't need it, but since amiibo party at it's core is super basic, like it could be played just spamming A till a minigame comes etc. adding a bit of flavour like this isn't necessarily bad. I imagine it would also make you feel like the amiibo figure itself actually has a purpose rather than something you use to just unlock a mode

I liked that the game was like a board game in design in the past. The main play modes aren't anymore, which is half the reason I don't like them. But repeatedly tapping an amiibo on a pad to make it feel like you're moving a board game piece. Just why? Please say this can be turned off. The gamepad doesn't need to be used at all, it's bad enough the thing always has to be on as it is. I leave mine perpetually almost dead, so that I can play smash bros with it off when I want to. And if it's not saving each turn then I will be incredulous if it can't be turned off.
Also why do we need to attach stickers to amiibo? Surely this means either cut outs can't use stickers at all, or amiibo can start a board with a bunch of items from the last game. Either way this is unfair.
yes amiibos get the bonuses, cut out don't... if u think it's unfair just buy amiibo!!! (the idea is that what sticker you use is written onto the amiibo itself). also you are not tapping it constantly... just to roll your dice on your turn... so you only have to do it once a round
