Hi,
Need help! I purchased MP5 for my nephew for $70 at Toys R Us. I just saw MP6 at Loblaws for $60. What's better? Why is MP6 (more recent) cheaper than MP5? I know nothing about games. It was on his Xmas list.
Anybody? Thanks!

Because Mario Party 6 was just released. So stores usually have sales on these hot new titles to attract customers. This latest one comes with a microphone inside for free. Otherwise it's pretty much the same and equally fun.
Should be moved to Entertainment forum.

Thanks for the reply Felix. I needed an answer quickly and as there were 29 viewers on OT and 11 on Entertainment, I figured I would get the quickest response here. Gotta get shopping again!
Again Thanks!

Man! I just PM'd it at Toys R Us for $58 plus tax. Too much hassle to get it at FS for $50! Darn it!!

I got MP6 as part of the Blockbuster trade-in 4 for 1 deal. It's my first time playing a MP game and it's ridiculously fun to play. Definitely a keeper although if you have MP5, it may not be.
I notice that even MP4 is still selling for full price at EB. Are these games in really high demand?

Yes, after a while when they become discontinued they go for lots on <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78 target=_blank>eBay</a>. For collectable reasons obviously. It was like that with the N64 Mario Party series also.

Here is a review. http://cube.ign.com/articles/571/571944p1.html
Haven't played 6, but 5 was a lot of fun. (I always pick Boo. My girlfriend calls him "Egg" :cheesygri )
Seeming 6 is sped up a lot. I guess it has it's weaknesses too.
I've always enjoyed Mario Party around Christmas because it's something everyone can play. ;) I'm sure Donkey Konga would be good for partys too. (Jungle Beat (http://cube.ign.com/articles/573/573949p1.html) also uses the Konga Control )
