Fortune Street is a waste of a Mario/Square Enix crossover

A Square Enix game with Mario and Dragon Quest characters should be a huge hit. Instead, we get got Fortune Street.

If only it had been a fighting game... That would have been awesome.

Quit screwing around with us and make Mario RPG 2 already!

I've never been the biggest Mario Party fan, but at least those levels are *always* interesting in some way. This looks pretty darn boring (and if that's just a side-effect of the way the game works, then like the author says, it's a waste of the crossover).

This game isn't Mario Party at all. It's more like Monopoly....

THR1LLHOUSE4517d ago

Yeah, but it's still a Nintendo board game thing. I know they're not the same, but I'd say they're at least related.

Not really Mario and Sonic Olympic is a of a crossover

In Japan, this series is very popular (Itadaki Street). It's certainly not a waste for them.

This damn article got the title and the description wrong. It's Final Fantasy in general that's crossing over with Dragon Quest, not just FFXV in particular.

Good luck on the localization of that thing. The previous entry didn't even make it to the west.

Fortune Street, how much has it been played? Official U.S. Wii Nintendo Channel data report

"Fortune Street released in the U.S. for the Wii on December 5, 2011, with a MSRP of $49.99. The game was developed by Square Enix, and published by Nintendo for its U.S. release. It received an ESRB rating of "EVERYONE" with "Comic Mischief" listed as content for parents and gamers to be aware of.

A description for the game on the Nintendo Channel says, "Players race around the board trying to accumulate wealth and hit a target value while buying, selling and trading property with friends and family to see who can be the first to cash out. What appears at first to be a simple property-buying board game offers multiple levels of money-maximizing opportunity."

The game has been out almost a year-and-a-half now, but how much has it actually been played? If you own a Wii or even now a Wii U, and skipped over Fortune Street when it released, how many hours might you expect from the game if you decide to buy it now? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look at the official U.S. Wii Nintendo Channel data to see how many hours Wii owners have reported playing the game, and what the average hours "Per person" are reported so far!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
