Mario Party 8

Mario and friends are back with the much-anticipated Mario Party 8 for the Wii.

Mario Party is, as always, the ultimate party game, with up to four players supported in this virtual minigame-centered fun. The single player game is also a great way to polish your skills as you compete with the computer opponents.

When you get the party started with your friends, they’ll never know what hit them as you trounce them at all the minigames!

All of your favorite characters from Mario Party 7 are back, including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, and many more. Brand new characters Blooper and Hammer Bro join the party this time to make the roster of characters the largest yet.

On the Wii, the minigames have a whole new feel -the unique motion-based Wii controls mean you’ll really feel like you’re rowing a boat, punching statures, and swinging a baseball bat, all with true to life motions.

The game boards(all six of them) are huge and more full of adventures than ever. The game is centered around the incredibly fun minigames, and with literally dozens of them, you never know which game you’ll be playing next!

Minigames will include a few of your favorites from the previous Mario Party games, but most of the dozens of minigames are brand new, such as the cake-decorating challenge and the quiz-show challenge.

For the first time ever in the series, there are also supersized minigames like the Star Carnival Bowling and Table Menace. You’ll find a couple of game boards with familiar-looking surroundings, like the Donkey Kong themed board, but don’t get too confident – while a lot of gameplay mechanics, like rolling the dice to start each turn, are the same, there are plenty of wild and wacky surprises in store!

Get ready to get your party on with the best Mario Party yet!
