Mario’s notorious compilation of mini games plans to return next year for the ninth installment in the series exclusively for the Wii. Yep, Mario Party 9 will launch with bigger and better games than before and a whole new cast of characters to indulge in. So what exactly is there to look forward to?
Unlike other Mario Party games in the past, each stage will finish with a boss fight. This means that you’ll have to take down an enemy such as Bowser together with your competitors, whilst still trying to obtain an individual high score. This score can then be used to unlock items and features, giving you more reason to play. It would seem that Nintendo have realized that there are very limited routes to go down in terms of gameplay in a party game, so to capture fans both old and new they work their charm creating a compelling story mode combined with familiar elements from previous Nintendo games.
It has been confirmed that there will be 80 brand spanking new mini game modes for those of you out there who aren’t avid gamers with all the time in the world to spare. From platforming your way through the sky, to swinging your wiimote to launch a rocket, there will be so much to do for the whole family to enjoy!
Navigating from stage to stage has been given a fresh new idea. You and your friends will now hop in a car and drive to each level, assigning captain of the vehicle through turns and arriving at destinations through use of a dice! Sounds strange I know, but the idea is to incorporate every player in the fun to be had!
Overall, Mario Party 9 is looking to be an absolute blast and definitely makes a change from your typical Wii shovelware. It’s set to be released on the 11th March 2012 in North America, so we can expect a UK release date around the same time period.
