Game Description: Mario Party 8 is a 2007 party video game developed by Hudson Soft and published by Nintendo for the Wii. The game is the eighth main instalment in the Mario Party series and the first title in the series released for the Wii. It was also the final home console entry to be developed by Hudson Soft, as NDcube took over development duties from Mario Party 9 onwards. Like previous Mario Party titles, Mario Party 8 features Mario series characters in which four human- or computer-controlled characters compete in a board game interspersed with minigames. Mario Party 8 received mixed reviews, with critics voicing disapproval of its single-player gameplay. The game has sold over 7 million copies, making it one of the best-selling games on the Wii.
