At E3, Nintendo announced Super Mario Party which will release on October 8th, 2018 and it’ll be innovating on the series in all-new ways. If you have multiple Nintendo Switches, you can push both screens together to create larger levels for certain mini-games, some games will require more strategy and teamwork than others, making you have to whisper to your teammates.

You’ll also be using the Joy-Cons to cook, race bikes, and other competitive mini-games which will surely create heated game nights with your friends. You can view the trailer and official description from Nintendo below.

“The Mario Party™ series is coming to the Nintendo Switch™ system with super-charged fun for everyone! The original board game style has been kicked up a notch with deeper strategic elements, like specific Dice Blocks for each character. The game also introduces all-new ways to play, including Joy-Con™ controller enabled minigames, and new modes to enjoy with family and friends. Board game play goes back to the four-player basics as you take turns and race across the board searching for Stars. You can also pair up two Nintendo Switch systems and delight in this dynamic play style, such as in the new Toad’s Rec Room mode. With new modes and new minigames coupled with original board game play, the party starts anywhere, anytime, and with all kinds of players. Super Mario Party is available October 5th!”

Super Mario Party comes to Nintendo Switch on October 8th, 2018.
