Mario Party DS
I picked this up last night and I am up to the third board in single player mode.
1) There are less item shops on the board
2) Items cost a lot less
3) There are "hex" items you can pick up (not buy) and place on the board
4) multi-player is single card with download
5) Very few games use the mic and you can turn them off
6) There are five boards
7) Each board ends with a boss battle
This game makes the mini games so much better (yes, there are mini-game only modes). unlike on the TV where everyone can see what you are doing POV games on the DS only show you! There is a cool 3vs1 mini game that is a big game of hide and seek in a maze, would never work on the TV.
From what Rym and Scott have said they want in a Wario Ware game on DS this is about as close as you are going to get. I'll write more later once I beat single player and try out some multi-player action.
Each minigame has a tip section. The luck games admit as such and tell you to just pick one and hope for the best!

[Edit] And what Scott said.
Animations can not be skipped but they feel faster than on previous games. The whole game "feels" faster.
Minigames are good. One game is FPS style where you walk around a double circle area and have to photograph each other character once. So far the games I have been playing are more skill than luck.
So far it is better than MP8, but I have only played three of the boards.
They have made good use of the dual screen. In one mini-game you have to swim away from whirlpools that are caused by three fish (one big, two small) under the water. The top screen is where you swim and the bottom is a side-view of the fish under the water. You have to watch both screens to see where the fish are going to be and where the current whirlpool is.
