Wii Party launched in Japan this July and has already racked up close to 125,000 units in sale. This is a huge success and Nintendo are rewarding those behind it, by acquiring a 96% stake in developer ND Cube (regarded for the Game Boy Advance title, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity). Hopefully this means we’ll see a lot more titles from them in the future.

Nintendo have not released a Party genre game since 2007’s Mario Party 8, which has sold over 7.6 million units worldwide. If its current sale trends continue however, Wii Party may possibly live up to its spiritual predecessor’s legacy.

Wii Party boasts 13 different game modes and over 70 individual mini-games. We currently have no Australian release date.
