Mario Party 8 - Features
INFORMATIVE 
Tags: Mario, Mario Party, 8, Wii, Nintendo, games, features
Mario Party 8 (for Nintendo Wii) is set to release on May 29, 2007! Here are some of the exciting new features the game will have:
| | Features
Wii Remote |
| | Characters will let out an exclamation through the Wii Remote speaker the player is controlling, signifying it is his/her turn to play. |
| | There has been mention of transformers titled "candy powerups" that can affect gameplay. These powerups, resembling the Orb system present in Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7, will "transform" characters into different things to suit situations. For example, a character can transform into a helicopter to fly over booby traps, or turn into a vampire to suck coins from other players. |
| | The game is known to have at least 75 new mini-games that all utilize the Wii's capabilities as well as 6 new boards, and 12 different modes of play. |
| | Miis from the Mii Channel on the Wii have been shown in the background of a mini-game, possibly suggesting the re-appearance of Miis in other mini-games. |
| | Mario Party 8 also includes four "minigame-infused" board games, such as Tic-Tac Drop, where players can put the next mark on the board by winning a minigame, and Table Menace, a play-on-words titled mini-game based on Table Tennis. |
| | The game's camera has been redesigned to closely follow the characters' movements at a low angle placed "on the board", as opposed to the high angle shot looking down on the characters used in all previous installments of the series, in order to make the game feel more engaging.
