Nintendo has revealed that their upcoming Wii Party will come bundled with a Wii Remote controller as standard when it is released on October 8th.

Here’s the full breakdown for Wii Party that I sneakily copied and pasted from the official Nintendo website…

• Some of the 13 different party game modes take the fun out of the TV and into the living room. Players have to interact with one another in the real world to get the results they want in the game. Some House Party games include:
• Players place four Wii Remote™ controllers on a table. Each one emits a different animal noise. Players win the round by being the first to grab the controller that is making the sound of the animal shown on the TV.
• Players use Wii Remote controllers to play hide and go seek. One player asks the other players to leave the room and then hides all of the controllers around the living room. When the other players return, they have to find them.
• Wii Party features Mii™ characters in minigames in which up to four people can play together. Each player uses only the Wii Remote controller. Some of the party game modes are cooperative, such as “Balance Boat.” Others are competitive, such as “Board Game Island.”
• In Board Game Island mode, players help their Mii characters compete in more than 70 different minigames:
• Mii characters ride a rollercoaster while players try to shoot down floating balloons containing gifts
• Players use their Wii Remote controllers to help Mii characters navigate a virtual game of tag.

Nintendo took the same approach when they launched Wii Play with a Wii Remote back in 2006 and as a direct result of including a controller as standard, Wii Play went on to become the best selling console game of all time for a game that wasn’t bundled with a console and shifted a whopping 26 million units.
