Mario Party 9 vs Street Fortune

[intheface42]

I've never heard of Street Fortune before this article.  It says its only been overseas.  To me, if you're going to buy an upcoming boardgame-ish game for the wii, then it has to be Mario Party 9.  No way a not-known title is going to beat that.  If you're interested http://wii.gamezone.com/editorials/item/mario_party_9_vs._fortune_street there's the link.

I just wanna know if you've ever heard of this game and if so is it any good?

I already saw the DS version of this game, but it was in Japanese and I didn´t understand nothing....

I've seen both trailers and a few gameplay vids for Fortune Street and, even though I want both games, I'm more interested in Fortune Street at the moment. It looks like so much fun and very challenging, which I like.

Fortune Street is not unknown, but certainly has less of a marketplace.

Since the boardplay style involves more tactical/strategic interactions, Fortune Street elicits its own aura of interest for me. But like Topper, I'm looking forward to both.

Comparing MP9 v FS: Difficult without further info on whether MP9 will have other modes besides the car mode. Also not sure on board mechanics (but they certainly aren't invest in spaces )

I saw in a site that this game is a fusion of Monopoly and Mario Party, what you guys think? I liked the idea (not only because I´m a fan of Monopoly and Mario ;D).

That would kinda suck. But judging by the trailer I don't see any Monopoly characteristics.

I don't know. I like the idea of having a combination of Mario Party and Monopoly but the game doesn't look very appealing. Too many non-Mario elements and not enough Mario elements. Looks like a completely different game that they just happened to slap a few Mario characters in to sell extra copies.

Fortune Street is getting closer to release and I have to say, it's interesting to see how different Mario Party can be if they were to change the formula. Fortune Street is also getting a lot of boards that resemble actual Mushroom Kingdom locations, something I wanted the Mario Party series to do for quite some time now.

Everyone was calling Wii Party the Mario Party Killer. No says anything like that about Fortune Street.

I guess it's because MP9 was announced right along FS and they have different developers. But hasn't anyone stopped to think that maybe this game might have an impact on the MP series?

It really depends on the market audience's tastes of board games. MP appeals to a younger demographic simply because it's simple. FS is I assume for slightly older people since it involves more in-depth property management etc.

Don´t worry, guys, this game will not affect the Mario Party series, this is only a fun crossover to play with friends (that like Monopoly).

Doesn't seem too bad. I won't get it but its not bad.

Mario Party 9 will be better. I've have Fortune Street and it's just like Monopoly, not a bad thing though. I find it fun and addicting, but it'll never compare to Mario Party 9. I enjoy having minigames instead of continuous movement. Mario Party just has that uniqueness of a board game that can't be matched by a Monopoly-like clone.
