Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Mario Party: Island Tour was delayed in Europe earlier this week, but the game’s release date hasn’t changed in North America. We’ve been able to confirm with Nintendo that Island Tour is still on track for a November 22nd launch in the states.
We learned today that users will be able to take advantage of Download Play in Mario Party: Island Tour so they can get the full experience with friends – even if the other players don’t have the game cartridge. However, it won’t include online play.

Mario Party: Island Tour lacks online play
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
Mario Party: Island Tour includes fairly extensive local multiplayer (especially when it comes to Download Play), but there won’t be any online play.
A few new details about the game are in as well. Island Tour contains 80 mini-games and 7 game boards which can be played alone or with others. Shown previously, AR Cards are used for some mini-games. StreetPass features are included, too.
Mario Party: Island Tour’s Download Play gives other players access to the full game

Similar to Mario Party DS, Mario Party: Island Tour contains Download Play functionality. And even if the other 3DS users you’re playing with don’t have the 3DS cartridge, they’ll be given access to the full game during local multiplayer. It’s a pretty nice feature!
