Today’s launch of Wii Party seemed to solidify Nintendo’s transition from releasing annual party games starring Mario and friends, opting to strengthen the brand of user-created Mii characters with their own party game. Previously, Hudson developed new Mario Party titles annually, but the most recent console and portable editions launched in 2007.

Nowadays, Hudson is busy releasing their own party game, the new Oops! Prank Party. But in a new interview with Siliconera, the company shed some light on the possibility of returning to the Mario party game mix.

We’ll start creating it when we have become certain that we can blow everyone’s minds with a new “surprise”!

This confirms that the company is not currently working on a Mario Party title, while also confirming they indeed plan on returning to the successful franchise. Maybe we’ll hear an announcement in the coming months, say, a new version on the 3DS or Wii 2?
 
Here is a link with a statement from Hudson on Mario Party 9 saying that it is not dead, but it is not being made yet.

Mario Party 9 will come one day so we can all relax and spread the word that it will be here in the future :D.
