Mario Party 8
Bring your own cake; Mario will take care of the gold coins and bitter tears
One minigame has all four players taking part in simultaneous baseball batting, which sounds like a recipe for black eyes and tears.It's simpler than the Wii Sports version and doesn’t require you to take full swings, but still… it’ll be interesting to see what safety measures they include and how far they dare push the frantic four-way activity features.
One of the minigames with less potential for injury sees you and your friends scrubbing filth off a Chain Chomp, which should have you yearning for a Wii version of Nintendogs. Another involves shaking the remote to make a bottle of lemonade explode with the highest stream of fizz when you open it.
