Mario^(TM) and his pals have plenty to party about: Mario Party 8 has
become the all-time fastest-selling title in Nintendo’s popular Mario Party
series. As the first Mario Party game created exclusively for Wii^(TM), this
new installment has sold more than 550,000 copies in the United States during
the weeks following its May 29 launch.

Enlivening Mario Party’s fun-filled formula with a carnival theme, the
latest version of this virtual board game allows players to use the Wii Remote
’s unique motion controls while navigating new boards, meeting new
characters and going head-to-head in new minigames. Kids and adults can
easily pick it up and start playing together.

“The overwhelming response not only reminds us how much fans absolutely
love the Mario Party franchise but also proves the unmatched ability of the
Wii system to attract new players,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America
’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Wii
users are keeping the Mario Party going strong.”

其實前幾週的美國週榜都看得出來銷很好
只是沒想到好到這種地步, 創下系列銷售最速紀錄
這款好像 ＩＧＮ 評分給得很低的樣子 XD
