The tenth instalment in Nintendo's virtual board game party franchise is set to appear on the Wii U this year. While the Mario Party game which appeared on the 3DS not long ago may have missed the mark in many ways, it looks like Nintendo are getting things right with Mario Party 10.

Best part is, Mario Party 10 will involve extensive usage of those sweet Amiibos, serving as game pieces for all the board game fun. It will launch alongside the recently announced Super Mario Bros. line of Amiibo figurines. Some of the amiibos currently being used for Smash Bros. will be compatible with Mario Party 10, although it would mean erasing any existing Smash Bros. data you may have on them.
