In a Nintendo press conference today, President and CEO Satoru Iwata announced today that development for MP9 has taken a start, and that plans for making a MP for the new handheld, the 3DS. MP9 will be a complete overhaul to the MP series, getting rid of the boards and making it into an RPG-styled game that is sort of like chess, except it contains the minigames that you veterans know and love. Also, Link, Samus, and even Sonic are making cameo appearances in the games and it was revealed that Sonic would have his own board. Ninty is not sure if they are going to show MP9 at this year's E3, but might release a trailer this July.
3DS MP has been yet to reveal any new details.
Wow. This might actually be good for the series.
But Sonic? Man, don't be combining him into every single Mario spinoff game. >.<
