Bowser crashes Mario Party 10

By

In addition to the return of Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros., Nintendo is giving the next-gen update to another of its couch-play classic, Mario Party. Announced as part of Nintendo’s E3 extravaganza, Mario Party 10 will come to the Wii U in 2015.

The game look like the standard mix of quick minigames spread across a board game map, until Bowser crashes the scene to introduce Bowser Party. This new mode casts one player as Bowser competing against the other four. Utilizing the GamePad controller, Bowser will be able to wreak havoc on the other players with fireballs and environmental hazards.

Mario Party 10 will also join Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart in supporting the recently-announced Amiibos (amiiboi?), though the exact details of how the figurines will work in this particular game are still unknown.

The day is almost upon us. After years of speculation, we're very close to an official reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2. Thank goodness for that, as we've been locked in a tidepool of fake leaks and rumors for far too long. The new console hype cycle can be fun in moderation, but the long road to Nintendo's next console has only become more exhausting over time. We had AI companies faking its release date for clout, hardware manufacturers sharing 3D printed mock-ups, and every so-called insider on the planet flinging out conflicting information.

It'll all come to an end soon when Nintendo reveals its new console. While that's a relief, there is something bittersweet about it. The mystery of a new gaming device is part of the fun. What will it look like? What games will launch with it? Will it be backward compatible? These are the kinds of questions make for fun social fodder; I've had plenty of speculative conversations with friends over the past two years.
