After months of silence from Nintendo of Japan regarding any news on Mario Party 9, a release date has been given to those awaiting the latest installment in the Mario Party series in Japan. North America and Europe will be getting the game this March, but those in Japan will have to wait until Thursday, April 26, 2012 before they can get their hands on the game. No word on a release date for Australia but keep checking back to Mario Party Legacy for the lastest news!
