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.
