Ubisoft is one of the few third-party publishers to have announced an actual game for NX. During its E3 2016 media briefing earlier this week, the company confirmed plans to bring Just Dance 2017 to the platform.

Here’s what Ubisoft EMEA boss Alain Corre had to say regarding NX:

“We have always appreciated the relationship with Nintendo, the co-creation and the fact that they are really concentrating on quality – they have fantastic brands. And they are addressing the family market in a very different way, their own way, which we appreciate. We have done a lot of products and successes with Nintendo in the past, and we believe that the NX will recapture a lot of the lapsed Wii players. So we will see when they release it, but we are confident.”

Nintendo announced Mario Party: Star Rush for 3DS yesterday, which we’ll be seeing on the Treehouse stream in a few hours. Amazon has now put up a listing for the game with a tiny bit of extra information.

Amazon’s listing states:

Team up with your friends in the real world to compete to take down bosses in each game board. Mario Party fun is back and better than ever for multiplayer.

Amazon also reiterates that you can “Break free of turn order, with all players plotting strategy, rolling the dice, and moving” at once.

We’ll get a first look at Mario Party: Star Rush later today with additional details.
