Built upon a rule set popularized by Parker Brothers’ microcosm of capitalism, Monopoly, recent Wii release Fortune Street adeptly amalgamates board and video game. While it’s not the first time the mediums have been merged (2003’ Culdcept for the Playstation 2 crafted a similar union), the title represents an opportunity for Western gamers to experience a series that has thrived in Japan since 1991.
For the 30th Anniversary of Final Fantasy XV and Dragon Quest, familiar characters from each series join in the board game series Fortune Street. It will be a cross-over of Final Fantasy XV and Dragon Quest and will be on the PS4 and PS Vita. The following two tabs change content below.BioLatest Posts Jasper Song Games […]
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 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.
I bought this game months this is literally all I play on Wii U now. It's so much fun bankrupting people. ^~^

Good review. Hopefully, this will show up in Redbox.
Color me interested.
this is more like it. Enough of that Mario Party stuff!
thank you for posting. Glad you liked the review.
Hopefully, this sells well enough to send the message that board game type games have fans here.
