In this issue of HGZine, we take a look ahead at Mario Party DS and bring you all the latest news and some new screenshots of the game. Mario has partied eight times already since the first outing for the series - how will it fare on the DS? Read our Mario Party DS preview to find out now!

Mario Party DS preview
Mario Party was an incredibly fun and addictive multiplayer N64 game from Hudson Soft. Nintendo liked it, so they asked Hudson to make more. Seven more. Seven more that were exactly the same as the first game.
What do we know?
We know that Nintendo have wrested the reins from Hudson for this one, but it certainly can’t b e down to weak sales of Mario Party 8 on Wii, as it’s been a huge success for Nintendo and Hudson. Perhaps they’re more concerned about quality for the tubby one’s dual-screened bow. From what we’ve been shown there looks to b e a healthy mix of buttonmashing mini-games and stylus-controlled fun, with a Goomba-catching task which looks frantic and a chase sequence which will wear the letters away from your DS’s buttons. Further predictions: the CPU opponents cheat, take ages over their turns and there’s an ice-block punching mini-game. Call us cynical, but the single-player game is likely to be a sideshow to the Wi- Fi multiplayer. On the other hand, if anyone can revitalise the series, it’s Nintendo themselves.
