So I go to the store, found Odama bundled with the microphone. I've been eyeing it for a while, but didn't purchase it until today. The reason I wanted the microphone is to play Mario Party 7 with it. So now I can turn on all the microphone games in Mario Party 7 (although I've yet to test the microphone.) I wonder why you plug it into the memory slot? There's room for 4 controllers but only two microphones? That doesn't make much sense to me. Now next time I go to the other one in town, I can look for Mario Party titles for the Gamecube because I have a microphone now. And that will be pretty good because I'm making a site devoted to Mario Party games. Why won't Nintendo make a Mario Party 9? Seems like they're waiting for the next console. The Gamecube had 4 Mario Party titles and the N64 had 3, so it doesn't make sense that the Wii only has one.
