If you've been itching to poke your nose into our favorite plumber's party on the Nintendo DS, here are some relieving screenshots and a scan from Famitsu of Mario Party DS. Like us, you'll get a pretty good idea what to expect from Nintendo's long-running series of party games on the handheld.

Minigames that are sure to gobble up your time include football, air gliding, boat riding, a plethora of puzzle games, and more. By the looks of it, and considering what Mario Party games have been like since the first one back in 1999, all game modes have multiplayer. Whether you're in the mood to take the skating rink or serve food, the experience simply won't be the same without pals by your side.

Another mario Party DS scan from before revealed the Nintendo Wi-fi Connection attached to the game, but we are yet to receive any confirmations. Our two cents are on wireless online multiplayer though, and we're sure yours are too. Instead of speculating, after you're done with the scan attached, let's just ogle at the screens below.
