“Everyone” invited to Wii Party

I really wanted to not cover games that have casual appeal on this website but when Nintendo makes it I feel like it’s still interesting to us hardcore Nintendo fans. So here’s what happened. Today Nintendo unveiled a new franchise in the “Wii Something” line of games called “Wii Party”. The announcement came out of Japan this morning so details at this point are sparse.

I have posted the pictures that Nintendo released below.  It goes without saying that this is another mini-game compilation like Wii Sports and Wii Sports resort. No indication was given on whether this game will support Motion Plus but I think it’s pretty safe to assume that Nintendo will try to use this game to increase the install base for the Motion Plus adapter.  We’ll have more on Wii Party likely during E3.
