Upcoming Wii title Mario Party 8 slips from its initial release date of this Friday to July 13th

Nintendo has confirmed that light-hearted family-friendly Wii title Mario Party 8 will not be hitting UK retail this Friday as planned, and will instead now be released on July 13th.

Unspecified ‘production issues’ with the English version are to blame, the nature of which remain a mystery for the time being.

Mario Party 8 is the latest outing for the plumber’s light-hearted mini-game series, and marks the first time the franchise has appeared on the Wii.
