@ZeroSee, you're getting too technical with stuff. I don't even bother teaching them (casuals/party goers) to jump. Just "use the analog stick to move" is good enough (since 'UP' is jump). And yeah, you can pick the Earthbound stage (Moonside, I think?) or Hyrule Temple or Final Destination, and just have them (the casuals) have fun watching Mario punch Pikachu and Donkey Kong perform a Giant Punch on Peach. To them, it's just silly, mindless fun; nothing competitive about it. And that's how I had to approach partiers with this game. They aren't going to take it seriously, so there's no reason I would. Non one cares who wins or loses. They are just there to have fun. (Also, be sure to keep the rounds as TIMED rounds. That way, no matter how many times someone gets knocked out, they always come back for more. This also keeps matches from going on for too long) Finally, (and this would probably go over your head since you don't drink alcohol) drinking helps punctuate the fun of Smash Brothers. I suppose being a little tipsy makes Kirby's squeals of pain as he is rocketed off into the sky even funnier. Plus, you can make the game into another game: a drinking game! Every time you get knocked out, you drink! This "meta-game" is called Super Smashed Bros. in my neck of the woods. |

How in the hell did I forget Wario Ware: Mega Microgames?? Ugh, should I bring GCN controllers? And a GBA for Pac-Man Vs.? Ugh... Oh, and we probably won't be drinking. It's more of a seeing distant relatives kind of thing. Rock Band is probably out of the question, since I don't want to haul it around. But I do have most of these other games. Except for Dokapon. Although now I'm wondering whether to just bring an N64 and Micro Machines it up... By the by, I also rented Mario Sports Mix a couple of weeks back. Dodgeball and Volleyball were decent. And the bomb-avoiding mini-game was fucking brilliant. That could probably run a party on its own. @anon_mastermindDo you like Mario Party 9 better than Wii Party? (I don't have MP9 yet. I'm just curious.) |
