Despite the fact that neither were mentioned in its software lineup announced last month. Well, we all like surprises.

In an announcement celebrating the sale of the four millionth 3DS unit, Nintendo announced that both series would be coming to the 3DS. As you may have guessed, there was no time frame given whatsoever, but considering the popularity Pokemon and Mario Party have with gamers of all ages, I suspect we won't have to wait very long, for either the games nor new information.

In the meantime, I'll be waiting her impatiently for Kid Icarus: Uprising, which we were promised at E3 last year. Though I do love me some Mario Party.
