Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has given the next big Wii party game a name: Wii Party.

 

Revealed during a recent investors’ briefing, Wii party uses your Mii collection as characters in its collection of party game. These include games like:

 

• Teiban Party – Playable by one to four players. Includes “teiban,” or “standard,” games like Bingo, Roulette, Mii-jan, Overseas Trip Game and Sugoroku (dice).
• Pair Party – Recommended for two players. Includes Compatibility Check, Balance Ship, and Mii Awase (Mii Alignment).
• Living Party – Playable by more than two people. Iwata said that this area would feature new play types made possible by the Wiimote.

 

Iwata pegged Wii Party as another marquee party game for the Wii. The last such release from Nintendo was Mario Party 8. While no specific release dates were mentioned during the briefing, Iwata noted that they hope Wii Party “will play an important role for this fiscal year.”
