I agree. This is really annoying. How can it be this difficult to set up the second controller??? Especially when the menu says “P2: please connect a Wii Remote”. How do you want me to connect it?!? THERE SHOULD BE BETTER INSTRUCTIONS DAMMIT!!!

I can’t get two player to work either. I’ve sync’d remotes. they both show on the pointer (hand) on the screen. As soon as I start MP8 it turns off the 2nd remote. Any help?

Great multiplayer fun especially after a few drinks. The single player is a bit naff and gets boring quite quickly. No widescreen option is available which pretty much makes no use out of my 42 inch widescreen.

Craig, I’ve tried what you suggested also and still the game isn’t picking up my other controller. It works fine with Wii sports but Mario Party ain’t playing ball!

You need to sync your controller to your Wii. Do this by taking off the battery cover on the Wiimote you want to use and press the red sync button. You Wiimote should start blinking, then press the red sync button located on your Wii console thats located where the SD memory card goes. That should do it, hope it helps.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, you can do a couple of things to make sure your wiimotes are working. First make sure you have no dead batteries in your wiimotes. 2nd, all you should need to do is press the power button on the top left button of each of the wiimotes and they should come one and you should see a cursor that shows 1 and another cursor that is a different color with 2 and so fourth…

Me and my family are having a difficult time playing the game with more than one control, I don’t know how to get the other 2 to work in the game so we can all play against each other instead of having the hassel of using one. So how do you get all 3 controls to work in the game?

First of all, very nice review! *Thumbs Up!*
The lack of Widescreen is indeed an issue for me, as I’m playing the game on my new LCD TV screen with component cable. This was really disappointing.

The second issue I’m having with Mario Party 8 is the candy instead of orbs. Usually I’m playing the game with my family, like girlfriend, sister and brother-in-law. The women in my family are not that good in the mini games and score their points mainly by placing their orbs smart. With the candy in Mario Party 8 you can’t place them, but use them. So putting a “stop-orb” (that big blue spiky thing from previous MP’s) on a red block is out of the picture now. They love to screw you over with their orbs, and now that is getting more difficult unfortunately.
On the other hand, by simplifying the controls, they should play better in the minigames. I hope this works out for them, otherwise because of getting rid of the orbs, it gets rid of some competition aswell in my case.

I haven’t played long enough to conclude how I feel about the game. beside the points I’ve mentioned above teh game feels great to me. and I haven’t had that feeling since Zelda Twilight Princess on the Wii.
