"Mario Party 6 GC peripheral revealed"

With no fanfare, typically, Nintendo just announced Mario Party 6 will be partly controlled by microphone which comes free with the game.

So I thought at first it'd plug in a control port, but MP6 being big with the multiplayer aspect, the four control ports will be full. So I guess it's plugging underneath?

And now I wonder what other games it'll be used for..

I agree, but I think Nintendo will use it on more than one game.. just like the Konga drums are being used in Jungle Beat.

It'll be a nice change to normal gameplay i'd imagine...

More of an addition rather than an eye toy type million seller.

Oh dear oh dear tphi.

About the peripherals drawing even a little attention away from the Eyetoy? If so, as I said, he overestimates the impact these two peripherals will have.

Indeed, drunken voice-controlled games would rool.

"Goooo fhucking leheft, mayte!"

"Input not recognised"

"What te fark? Gofuckingleheft mayayteee boy!"

"Input not recognised"

"What'd'ee'sahay!?"

"Input not recognised"

Destruction ensues.

First one to get the computer to actually do something wins.

You think, perhaps, he wasn't being entirely serious?

Detering interest? You seriously overestimate the impact these two things are going to have.. do you know how many units the Eyetoy has lifted this year? And a Super Mario game controlled entirely by microphone would be awful.

Controlling your character using your voice..


Wait a minute...










Knightmare game!!!!!!!!

Best [drunken] multiplayer game ever.

So, along with the Donkey Konga Bongos, Nintendo now have TWO peripherals with which to deter interest from SONY's EyeToy, just a little bit. :)


I can imagine a Super Mario game utilising this...

"JUMP! JUMP! FIRE! JUMP! DUCK! FIRE! JUMP! FIRE! JUMP... JUMP??? Oh, feck...!" ;D
