The first time I heard of this game was during a different minigame found in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. The minigame had nearly the exact same concept, but missing the stock exchange feature. I am surprised this game is as popular with seven different ports from NES to mobile devices. But there still isn't a physical board game of "Fortune Street" out yet. I think it's because the rules & values are significantly more complex than Monopoly: For example, rent automatically increases when additional properties are owned. Additional "capital" or cash on hand plus stock values, can be spent on owned properties to increase their rent & stock values. Community chest & chance cards are exchanged with 100+ different venture cards placed on a 8 x 8 board. If 4 or more venture cards are picked in a row, there is a small bonus given to the player. I enjoy an occasional game of Monopoly, but without turn limits or a timer, the game gets old after the 1st hour. That's what's great about Fortune Street, your butt won't fall asleep by the time a winner is claimed.Read full review

Fortune Street for the Nintendo Wii is a GREAT game. It plays out like a more advanced Monopoly, add a hint of Mario Party, and throw in some Nintendo and Dragon Quest characters. I will let it be known that this game isn't for everyone. I am a big fan of board games, Monopoly especially. I am also a huge Nintendo fan so, the combo really works in my favor. If your not a fan of one or either you might want to rent this game first. This game does have a learning curve, especially when it comes to the advanced play style. The "advanced" play style lets you invest in stocks(shop districts)and really makes the game a blast to play. In my opinion Nintendo nailed this game!! This is a Nintendo published title and "New" will most likely hold the $50 tag for a VERY long time so, I would recommend buying a VG or "Like New" copy from eBay at a fraction of the price. I hope this review has been helpful. Thanks for reading.Read full review
It’s a interesting game it works in good condition tested it I’m just trying to learn the Basics of the game but still it’s a neat game I like the variety of characters they added I don’t like how you have to unlock them if only it were a litter easer but that’s a different story but still an all it’s a good game it belongs in the Mario party game category it’s basicly more like monopoly then Mario party and yes I believe this game is nearly 10 years old at this time so yeah happy 10th birthday fortune street for the Nintendo wii!.

Fortune Street is a great game if you like this type of game. It's similar to monopoly and mario party combined. If you like those games, then you will probably like this game too.

Overall good game, but is also quite difficult. I bought this game to play on my big screen with the whole family, but is a little harder than my kids can handle. Fun game, but slow paced and can take quite a long time to finish (just like monopoly) a great challenging game that odds really do seem to favor the bots a bit, but overall fun to play with a group of older adults without the mess of board game style. Overall rating 4/5
