Nintendo has released a new trailer for its upcoming dice-rolling, mini-game playing, friend bashing bonanza on the 3DS, Mario Party: Island Tour.
First revealed back in April during a Nintendo Direct broadcast, the latest footage shows the usual chaotic environment that you'd expect from the Mario Party series; taking place across seven different boards and 80 new mini-games, it's sure to be a rollercoaster ride.
Mario Party: Island Tour arrives in North America on 22nd November, with Europe having to wait until 2014; a date is yet to be confirmed for the region. Let us know if you plan on picking up a copy when it takes a tour to a store near you.

haha, the way Yoshi flails around in that bubble is too cute.
Oh man, the tank minigame reminds of the one I enjoyed playing back in the day, on one of the first three Mario Party games (don't remember which one though ).
lol at Luigi in the bubble at the beginning...
Looks like a really nice Mario Party game! Comes out just after my birthday, though... bummer.
I hate you NoE.
@LunaticPandora
Whine all you want you get Layton Azran Legacy so it is not like there's not a balance somewhere.
Nice to see them using all of the 3DS's features! I probably won't be picking this one up this holiday, but I might pick it up down the road as Mario Party DS was one of my favourite DS games!
I like the Mini Games on Mario Party but I wish it didn't have the dice. (Don't like stuff involving luck).
Looking forward to it, but won't get it until around Christmas due to A Link Between Worlds and Super Mario 3D World releasing on the same day (honestly Nintendo, why?).
I thought this was pushed back in NA too?! I even cancelled my pre-order lol
@Captain_Balko
Two words: Black Friday.
loved mario party ds so i'm excited for island tour
It's nice to see a trailer for something other than SM3DW for a change.
I just don't think I'm gonna feel like playing Mario Party on a handheld.
@Zach777 This. I would gladly trade Island Tour with Azran Legacy just so I could play the latter first! That said, I definitely am keeping my eye on Island Tour. A lot of my friends have been burnt out from the franchise, but a few of mine are still kicking it.
My girlfriend is getting a Zelda: ALBW 3DS off me for Christmas, her brother has a 3DS XL, and her sister recently got a 2DS. The fact this is entirely playable between four people with just one game card will be fantastic.
I must admit that I'm a big Mario Party fan since the first one so I'm sure I'm getting this one. Also, mario party 9 was a bit disappointing, I hope they return the ol' turn-based-block system.
I will buy this first day.
Is there online multiplayer?!!?
@Retrowire No.
What's the deal with November 22nd? Already got 3D World and Zelda 3DS to deal with on that date. lol
Looks great! Excited for this.
Why 2014? damn region lock means no importing either.
@Zach777 Yeah, and I don't care about Layton so it's not good enough. If we so much got as much a reason for why eu got it delayed but na didn't i would be fine, but nope, it's just America gets it on time, eu gets it..... whenever, so I'm still pissed about it.
Region locking and region delays...
It's 2013, why are we still dealing with this stuff?
A NoE 3DS/XL is reigon-locked right? If so, I thought you guys/gals could order it from Amazon US.
@Yukari_Sendo
Black Friday sales.
I don't like how stupidly linear EVERY board is. I hope that at since each board has its own gimmick we get a couple old style boards included(A normal one and a real estate thingy one like that windmill place in 7)
@sinalefa Black Friday is on the 29th, though...
Totally forgot about this game. Looks fun though
@Luigifan141
I know. My point is that the game is releasing a little before to have fresh games for BF. Hopefully they advertise them like crazy
@Genesaur Have you not played Mario Party DS? It's still really fun. I'm one of the very few gamers in my family, yet I got even a lot of them addicted to it.
Still not over them takilng my DK away I will not buy and i haven't bought a mario party since he was taken out so i guess i wont be getting this one!
Better ban this too, mario party promotes competitive nature in children, competitive nature can lead to all sorts of dangerous situations. We gotta protect the kids here.
No online, no party
Looks fun, but personally I feel Mario Party games work much better on big screen in the living room so everyone can enjoy them locally. I have Mario Part on DS but didn't play it nearly as much as I did Mario Parties on home console.
Finally a trailer
Wow this game amazing for a handheld mario party game
Man, Nintendo...ADD ONLINE. It's so irritating...
Picture this...playing online against your friends and random people...it would be awesome.
I'm sick of hearing excuses...I know two of my friends aren't getting it because there's no online and I'm still debating.
@cookiex Black Friday is November 29, not the 22nd. Not sure why everyone is getting this confused
No online = Playing with yourself.
I already have a problem with that Ninty!
@3DFOMEE Err what?!
@sinalefa Ah. I'm Canadian so I didn't take that into account (our Thanksgiving is in October). Makes sense now, but still hurts my wallet.
Meh
This looks good, really like the fact that there is AR gameplay.
