The Nintendo Treehouse presentation was full of surprises, one of which included Mario Party Star Rush. The next entry in the long running party game series will be exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS and plans to shake up the admittedly stale formula by separating characters on the board rather than keeping them confined to a shared vehicle, and having players all move at the same time instead of waiting for everyone to finish their turn. But most importantly, we’re getting new Amiibo!
Seven new characters are joining the Super Mario Bros line that accompanied Mario Party 10 last year, three of which are never before released. Aside from Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Rosalina and Wario getting new poses outside of their previously released Super Smash Bros. versions, Waluigi, Daisy and a glow in the dark Boo are making their Toys To Life debut. Waluigi in particular has a passionate cult following for some reason, so there’s plenty to be happy about when it comes to this announcement. Personally, I really want the Boo.
Check out the trailer below and see the Amiibo in action. Are you interested in the shake ups the game will present, or are you all partied out? Let us know in the comments!
