Mario Party headed to arcades in Japan

More Nintendo properties continue to make their way to the arcade scene in Japan, with the latest one being Mario Party. A modified version of Mario Party 10 is being tested in Japan as Mario Party Fushigi Challenge World. The machine is what they refer to as a”medal game”, which is traditionally transformed into a ticket / redemption game when it comes to the States.

There are very little details known about the game. The flyer shown below was recently distributed to arcades in japan to promote the upcoming public testing. The game appears to allow players to face off in a variety of mini games while “betting” tickets against each other. If you win the games, you will take home the largest amount of tickets from the pool.

It’s always cool to see a traditionally, console I.P. get the arcade treatment, especially in 2016. Nintendo, in particular, has been making this push in Japan for years with other classic games such as Luigi’s Mansion and New Super Mario Bros. Wii being turned into arcade games. Hopefully these games will make their way over here into places like Dave & Buster’s as the arcade-scene here in the United States needs all of the help that it can get.
