Wow Nintendo, a Lakitu boss now? And NSMB style cannons on the board map?

I have to admit, this is shaping up to be a really interesting Mario Party game, with about ten times more Mario stuff in it than the last six or so games combined.

Some screens, with more info:

A balloon based mini game. I actually quite like this, reminds me of Super Mario Land 2 and Super Mario Galaxy, and those spike balls are straight out of New Super Mario Bros. Very Mario.

No idea what's going on. Posing mini game?

Painting time! By the background, it looks like it takes place either in Toad Town, or maybe near Mushroom Bridge from Mario Kart.

Platforming time! Wow, this just screams 'New Super Mario Bros Wii', since the background, bounce blocks and used blocks are straight out of said game.

Skipping. Meh.

Dolphin racing? Aren't those things from Super Mario World? I wonder if a Porcupuffer shows up in this mini game to get in the way...

What's a Captain Event? New mini game type?

The factory board. Does the Bowser Jr space replace the Bowser one now? And those ! spaces... Oh God, that looks like a 'Chance Time' space. Oh no, not this thing again:

I still remember the Bowser ones where everything always went to Bowser... And no, it's not a vs space, there's a giant vs sign on the orange space for that.

That likely ever so annoying part where you have to roll a certain number (or, everyone works together to reach said number) or you fall into the abyss and have to do part of the board again. I don't see people liking this idea much...

The Bowser Gate? Don't tell me, you reach it, then go through to fight a boss, right?

Updated, even more colourful box art. Hooray for pointless message, in case you really thought Nintendo was going to say 'well, you've seen all 80 of these mini games before, we couldn't be bothered to make any new ones'. Seriously, saying 'all new content' on the box art for a game is basically like saying 'interactive menus' on a DVD, you expect it by default.

Still, what do you think of the game now?
 
The minigames actually look pretty good!

But in the end, the only one 'original' type board would ruin this game for me....
 
Wow! this looks like the best Mario Party game yet! It has Koopa and Shy Guy, looks more mario-ish, and the minigames look fantastic! I love fighting and platforming minigames the best, and it seems to have alot of those

BACK IT UP. Did I just see characters riding on Bullet Bills in a racing-style game? A bowling mini-game with Goombas?

This game is looking much, much better then Mario Party 8. Now I don't care about the car. The game makes up for it with these sweet-looking mini-games. I don't want to stand in front of those paint-shooters though, they look like Mushroom Kingdom rocket launchers!

I'll be sure to pre-order this game as soon as I find out a release date for it, or maybe sooner.
 
Wow! Very New Super Mario Bros.ish! It once again proves NSMB series is one of the most successful series ever.
