Mario Party’s success has led to an absurd number of minigame collections on Nintendo platforms, all hoping to get a piece of the pie. The Wii is all set to get its next collection, 101-in-1 Party Megamix by Nordcurrent, by the end of this month. The title is a proper sequel to, not a port of, the generally ill-reviewed DS minigame collection 101-in-1 Explosive Megamix. The game is, as expected, a collection of 101 minigames, most of which need to be unlocked. Additionally, the games will be split up and framed as television channels, a paradigm that worked well for Beavis and Butt-Head on the Genesis. 101-in-1 Party Megamix launches in Europe on Oct. 30, for £29.99.
