Mario Party 10 hits Wii U on March 20

Mario Party 10 will arrive on Wii U in North America on March 20, it was announced during today's Nintendo Direct.

The game will release alongside a series of new amiibo figures based around the Super Mario Bros. series. This special set features six figurines, including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser and Toad.

Mario Party 10 also includes a dedicated amiibo Party mode alongside the standard Party Mode and Bowser Party, the latter of which was showcased during Nintendo's E3 2014. With amiibo Party, players can use an amiibo as a game piece on a special board that relates to that character.
