New Game Showcases the Unique and Fun Experiences of Wii U

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– It’s time to RSVP for the best video game party ever. On Oct. 25, the Wii Party U game launches for the Wii U console, bringing with it more than 80 mini-games, multiple party modes for people of all ages and unique game play that shows off the creative power of the Wii U GamePad controller. The game offers a party for every kind of player – from board games centered on the television to tabletop games that can be played exclusively on the GamePad (no TV required!). Wii Party U turns any living room into a party.

“Call your family and friends and start planning your Wii Party U party now,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The game is another classic Nintendo experience that will have people laughing and smiling with every new original activity.”


The next big event at Nintendo World will be a “Wii Party U Mixer”. For the title’s arrival this week, fans will have the opportunity to try T.V. Party Mode, House Party Mode and GamePad Party mode in the store’s Wii U section. Additionally, attendees can nab some treats at a sweets station.

You can stop by Nintendo World this Friday for the mixer. It’ll be taking place between 6 PM and 9 PM.
