Fortune Street Review

In the days of yore, before Pong and the Fairchild Channel F, people looking for competitive experiences in the comfort of their homes amused themselves primarily with tabletop board games. Nowadays, we live in an age of electronic games, but this hasn't decreased the appeal of traditional board games. In fact, the advent of video games has given rise to some wholly original board-game-style experiences in digital form. Square-Enix's Fortune Street series is among these original "video board games." Despite being around for 20 years in its native Japan, Fortune Street on the Wii marks the franchise's Western debut, complete with characters from the Mario and Dragon Quest series--and a glacial pace that muzzles your enjoyment. The Mario themes might conjure up images of Nintendo's long-running Mario Party series, but make no mistake: Fortune Street is a very different sort of board game experience. It's actually a lot easier to compare Fortune Street to Monopoly. You are placed on one of several Mario- or Dragon Quest-themed board designs, and you take turns rolling a virtual die to move around. Scattered across the boards are empty lots you can purchase when you land on them for the first time.

Fortune Street

The Fortune Street series has been running in Japan since 1991 under the name Itadaki Street, but if I didn't know any better I could swear it's a direct answer to our constant criticisms of Nintendo's always disappointing Mario Party/Wii Party games. The latter makes a mockery of board game design, filling each iteration with random, make-or-break nonsense that removes any sense of strategy. Fortune Street, on the other hand, takes its cues from Monopoly, populating a cerebral world of property ownership and stock buying with characters from the Mario and Dragon Quest series. Though you play on over a dozen different boards, the core gameplay is always the same: Four characters vie for economic control by rolling a die and making their way around the board. Land on an empty property and you can choose to buy it with whatever cash you have in hand. If other players land on it in the future, they'll need to pay you money. Collect four card suit symbols spread around the far corners of each board, and you can pass the starting point for some bonus bucks. Speeding things up When you begin Fortune Street's tutorial board, you may notice that the pace is sluggish and that characters frequently stop to spout inane banter.

Fortune Street Review

Fortune Street, developed by Square Enix, brings together the characters of both the Mario and Dragon Quest universes into one gaming experience. Now fans of the two series can finally see Yoshi stand alongside a Slime, or Mario face off against a Platypunk… just not in the way you're probably expecting. Rather than an epic adventure (or sports collection), Fortune Street is a video board game in the same vein as Monopoly. Known in Japan as Itadaki Street, Fortune Street marks the first time this franchise (which has been around for more than two decades) will be released in the States. Created by Yuji Horii, the man behind Dragon Quest, the game has players rolling dice and moving around oddly-shaped boards. Much like Monopoly, you use your starting wealth of cash to purchase unoccupied property you land on, which you can expand the value of by investing in (you can do this when you land on one of your own lots or on the bank square). Buy more than one piece of property in the same district and the value of your assets rises. If someone lands on one of your lots they have to pay you rent that turn.
