Already selling 550,000 units in the United States after it's release a little over a month ago, Mario Party 8 has become the fastest selling Mario Party title yet. With the game being a retail success for Nintendo, it's highly likely that we'll continue to see semi-yearly installments of the party franchise.
It's amazing how well the game continues to sell, even without much in the way of innovation. I don't want to go off on a rant here too much about the game since I already did that in my review, but I do want to say that I really hope Nintendo will at least put a little more effort into the next Mario Party installment.
