Mario Party Series Closes in on 40 Million

Nintendo have shared some interesting stats on the Mario Party franchise, with the series reaching 40 million units sold.

With Mario Party 10 out in just under a month's time in Europe, Nintendo have confirmed sales figures for the series to date - with the combined total of each of the games (as of December last year) coming in at an impressive 39.6 million units globally.

In Mario Party 10, which launches on 20th March, players will once again play as their favourite Mushroom Kingdom star, roaming about different party boards in search of starts and the like. This time, however, the competition heats up even more, with Bowser on the loose to wreak his devious dose of mischeif.

There'll also be a selection of new amiibo released to join the party - including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Bowser, Yoshi, Rosalina, Donkey Kong and Wario.

Will you join the board-game action in Mario Party 10 next month?
