I can see Mario Party 2 DS this year. Mario Party 9 next year. Remember Hudson now has to work on Mario Party for both the DS and Wii.
Even if Mario Party 9 was 100% finished, I don't think Nintendo would release it. Wii Sports Resort + Mario & Sonic Winter Olympics and Wii Fit Plus would be overkill and splinter sales too much.
A Mario platformer makes much more sense.
