I can't believe I overlooked this but is anyone else shocked there has been no announcement of Mario Party 9 for this winter?
Further proof that Nintendo is abandoning the core franchises...
As if anyone would really mind if Mario Party disappeared off the face of the Earth...
I was being sarcastic, but you know some rabid fanboy would use Mario Party as a franchise Nintendo is forgetting.
Thinking about this I expected Mario Party 9 to be announced next year, with the confirmation that it will use motionplus. Or, it could be announced sometime in the fall, to be released next year.
