E3: Nintendo announces Mario Party 9

By Jack Taylor – 8 June 2011

After several years of wondering what the future would hold for the Mario Party series, a ninth main installment has been confirmed.

Not much is known about the title at the moment: it was not shown at the presentation itself, nor has a fact sheet been released.

However, the game is planned to release worldwide and will include more immersive boards and minigames than any Mario Party title before it.

Some of the characters confirmed are Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Daisy, Wario and Waluigi, Toad and Koopa Troopa.

The game will borrow from newer Mario games such as New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Donkey Kong Country Returns in terms of visual style and game settings.

We'll have more on Mario Party 9 as we get it.

Surely that's old news by now...
