Mario Party 8 becomes fastest selling in series

NewsPosted 03/07/2007 - 9:33am GMT+1

More than 550,000 units sold in the Unites States since its release on May 29.

Nintendo has announced that Mario Party 8 has become the fastest selling Mario Party title to date, moving an impressive 550,000 units in the month since its release.

"The overwhelming response not only reminds us how much fans absolutely love the Mario Party franchise but also proves the unmatched ability of the Wii system to attract new players," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Wii users are keeping the Mario Party going strong."

Mario Party 8 had been expected to launch in the UK on June 22, but production problems with the English language version scuppered these plans. The game is now scheduled for release on July 13.

first of all the screen,menus are fine in full screen mode and all that but when you start the game the screen shrinks,i end up with two big black line either side of my 37inch lcd tv????
Then id say about 3 out of 10 games wont play properly,when i say wont play i mean freezes at the start of the games,only for about 10-15 seconds and will only happen to one player.When this has been happening ive paused the game and the controller works perfect,i nkow its the game
