“We’re not making any further announcements other than what NCL announced in Japan.” – Nintendo statement

You can bet your bottom dollar that this title will make its way to North America. It seems fairly obvious though that Nintendo will be featuring Wii Party at E3. It’ll probably receive treatment similar to Wii Sports Resort, when the company dedicated a block of time during their conference to focus on the title.

– Even though though Galaxy featured spheres to prevent players from getting lost, controlling a 3D Mario for the Japanese market is a concern
– Will include super player videos
– Video start with a control description, then shows how to progress through the game, then shows “challenge player”
– Original has sold 8.84 million copies worldwide (1.01 million in Japan, 4 million in North America)
– Galaxy 2 meant to be an “Ultimate 3D Mario”

– Iwata on Wii sales: “I’m not pessimistic, and this is not a pessimistic forecast”
