Nintendo’s main focus this E3 are definitely Pokemon and Zelda, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any time for new game announcements. Mario Party: Star Rush has been quietly announced for the Nintendo 3DS and has a release date of November 4th. The game will have it’s debut on the Nintendo Treehouse tomorrow, but as current no images or footage has been released. The game will allow all players to take their turn at once thanks to being on the 3DS. We don’t know if this means the return of the heavily criticised vehicle that has all players moving together (hopefully not).

In tandem to the new game announcement, 7 new Mario Party series amiibo have been announced. Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Rosalina, Daisy, Wario, Waluigi and Boo. These amiibo share the same November 4th release date and as a cool unique feature Boo will be the first glow in the amiibo released.


UPDATE: A new trailer and new gameplay footage from E3 have surfaced alongside some official information. For those looking for a traditional Mario Party experience you won’t find it here but the new concept does look interesting.
