Revision as of 09:35, 21 January 2015

Template:Game infobox Mario Party: Island Tour (Also known as Mario Party 3DS) is a Mario game for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the twelfth Mario Party game overall. It is also the most recent game in the Mario Party Series.

Development

This game was announced at Nintendo Direct and is confirmed to be released in November 22, 2013 which is also the same release date for Super Mario 3D World. It has been recently confirmed that the release date for Mario Party: Island Tour in Europe has been moved to 2014.

Gameplay

It is shown on a trailer that Mario Party: Island Tour will go back to the turn based system. This will mean the four players will compete separately, instead of being in one vechicle together, like in Mario Party 9. Players will also use cards instead of regular items. Like with Mario Party DS, Mario Party: Island Tour will make use of the stylus when playing certain mini-games. Players must hit a dice block labelled 1-6, also like Mario Party 9.
