PREVIEW: Mario Party Island Tour Launch Trailer

With its recent release in the US, Nintendo have released a launch trailer showing off the game's various levels and mini-games.

Footage shows the numerous playable boards players can get their hands on and their respective individual traits, as well as various strategies that will come in to play. 

Much like previous Mario Party games, the ultimate objective is to reach the end of a board in order to win, whether it be using weapons, power-ups, and so forth.

A total of 8 characters are playable, although initially there will only be 7 due to Bowser Jr. being unlocked upon finishing the new single-player mode; Bowser's Tower. These include fan favourites and instantly recognisable Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Wario, Waluigi, Yoshi, Boo, Toad, and as mentioned earlier; Bowser Jr.

There are 81 mini-games to take part in, including Role a Slope, in which players must navigate a wall to reach the bottom whilst avoiding any obstacles that get in the way. 

A more interesting mini-game titled The Choicest Voice allows players to imitate certain characters voices, and then will be judged to see how alike the impression is.

A European release date is set for January 14 and is exclusive to the 3DS. Check out  the launch trailer below and leave your impressions in the comments.
