I am probably going to buy Mario Party 8 despite the bad reviews because it will be my first mario party game so the repetition from previous efforts won't bother me and I have no basis for comparison. My question is, does each of the four players need a nunchuk attachment? I have enough wiimotes but not enough nunchuks.

Thanks!

I don't think it requires the nunchuk at all.

If you look at the picture of the back of the box on amazon, it shows the wiimote and nunchuk.......but maybe only one guy needs the nunchuk to navigate the menus or something?

Or maybe if you need the nunchuk for certain mini-games and not everyone has a nunchuk it will just skip those games?

Some one who has it will have to confirm, but I'm pretty sure one of the reviews I read said it didn't require the nunchuk.

There's one "Extra" game that requires the nunchuk, none of the regular mini-games do.

cool........thanks for all the info guys........how about some user opinions on the game? I know IGN gave it a poor score and I usually trust their reviews but I have never played any other mario parties.
The whole widescreen issue is kind of a bummer but I can live with it.

Check the already existing MP8 thread.

I'd give it a 7/10... it's solid fun for multiplayer. My wife and our friends had a blast playing it last night. My only gripe is that some of the controls are a bit spotty.

Like the rowing. That's killer!

Fun game thought. Right in the same vein as the other MP games!

Exactly!!

yeah i agree some of the controls were just out of whack. i just wish more games had more pinpoint accuracy and control.
