Mario Party 7 Bundle Puts 80 New Mini-Games and a Great Value All in One Box.

Seven proves to be an extremely lucky number for fans of the popular Mario Party series. Mario Party 7 launches Nov. 7 and can be purchased separately at an MSRP of $49.99 or as part of a special bundle. The bundle includes a Nintendo GameCube, two controllers and Mario Party 7, all at an MSRP of just $99.99. If purchased separately, these items could cost more than $175.

Each copy of Mario Party 7 also comes packed with the Nintendo GameCube Mic, which accepts voice commands to control the action in some of Mario Party 7's 80 new mini-games. And for the first time, up to eight players can compete at once in a family-friendly video game that plays like a virtual board game.

The Mario Party series has sold more than 5 million copies, putting it in the ranks of the most popular video game franchises of all time. Mario Party 7 features all of the favorite characters from the Nintendo universe, including two new playable characters, Dry Bones and Birdo, and will be one of the best deals of the holiday season.
