Get Ready to (Wii) Party This October

Experience a new kind of party game that everyone can enjoy, as Wii Party launches in Europe this October.

Prepare for a new kind of party game that introduces novel ways to play and ensures it's a piece of cake for everyone to get in on the action, when Wii Party launches in Europe for Wii on 8th October.

Sharing the instant accessibility of titles like Wii Sports and Wii Fit, Wii Party brings more than 80 different mini-games into your home to offer non-stop fun and unparalleled variety as you and your family and friends grab up to four Wii Remotes and try your hand at a host of inventive and intuitive gaming experiences. To add to the enjoyment, players can sample every second with their Mii characters and see them in action like never before!

With 13 different game modes to get to grips with, Wii Party will be the life and soul of any gathering as you enjoy games that refine the traditional party videogame experience. For the first time, the action away from the television screen will be as important as what's displayed on it, as House Party mode turns your living room into a pivotal part of the gameplay.

The Hide 'n' Hunt game will have you rummaging through cupboards and peering under the sofa as you desperately search for the hidden Wii Remote(s) before time runs out. If you can block out the laughter of whoever did the hiding, you'll hear the occasional sound from the Wii Remote to give you a helpful - but sometimes infuriating - clue as to its whereabouts! Alternatively, tackle the Time Bomb game and see if you can keep a steady hand as you pass a ticking Wii Remote between friends. Careful though - one wrong move and your chances of winning will be up in smoke!

On top of the new level of interactivity introduced by House Party, Wii Party also includes Pair Games and Party Games modes - both of which keep the varied challenges coming thick and fast as you cooperate or compete with fellow players. Within Party Games you can enjoy the likes of Board Game Island, a mini-game-filled journey to the top of a mountain that puts an exciting new twist on traditional board games.

If you'd rather work with another player than against them, Pair Games offer you the opportunity to do just that. As you collaborate in your attempts to balance out a boat or attempt to get a good friendship rating, you'll need to be on the same wavelength to avoid doubling your troubles!

With stacks of mini-games to discover, and creative ways to play them made possible by the Wii Remote, Wii Party packs in enough fun to keep everyone entertained and coming back for more. With so much on offer, you might even struggle to decide what you should play next. Thankfully, your personal concierge Party Phil is on hand to make an appropriate suggestion based on your available time and specific mini-game requirements.

There's something for everyone in Wii Party, and you're invited to get in on the fun when the game arrives in Europe on 8th October 2010. Party on!

  Seems pretty boring- I thought the idea would be awesome, but from what I've seen the minigames are pretty lowbrow.
