So I am getting ready to buy Mario Party 10 for it's launch this Friday and notice the Wiimote's are required for multiplayer. I can't believe I have to purchase peripherals from a previous gaming generation to play something on the current one. Yes, I never owned a regular Wii so I need to buy everything.
Assuming I would like to make full potential of this game and have 5 players in Bowser mode (1 GamePad, 4 Wiimote) and up to 4 Amiibo's can be used during Amiibo Party.
Mario Party 10 with Mario Amiibo bundled - $59.99
Wiimote x4 - $39.99 ea @ $159.96
Amiibo x3 - $12.99 ea @ $38.97
Total: $258.92
Prices are MSRP and do not include taxes or shipping. If I were to add tax it would be $280.49.
Of course, I could cut that down a little by purchasing used equipment but still it's a hefty amount to pay for a Mario Party game that honestly probably won't be very good but stupid me promised to my family to get before reading the fine print. Oh well, who needs a savings account these days any ways?
