Diehard GameFAN: Fortune Street Review

DHGF: Fortune Street is a good middle ground for people who found Mario Party too simplistic and Culdcept Saga too complex as video board games, as it’s a good middle ground between the two for friends to enjoy, though it doesn’t hold up in any other capacity, unfortunately, making it limited overall. There are enough overall modes to be diverse, and the game looks and sounds good for the Wii on an artistic level, if not entirely a technical one. The game is very easy to play mechanically and offers both simplified and complex rules for players of all skill levels to get into, in addition to a helpful tutorial that makes the game easy to understand. There are also a solid amount of unlockables, and you can play with friends both online and off with only one controller, making the game a fun experience for those with friends who enjoy Monopoly or similar board games, as that’s clearly where this game draws its influences from.

More people should suck it up and play Culdcept. Sure it's complex. Sure the "magic stock market" can be a little confusing at first. Sure Support effects can have two different meanings due to a mistake in translation.

It's still one of the more satisfying experiences I've had this generation. It's a gem of a game... and... and.... dammit, I'm going to play it when I get home.

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.
