Fortune Street

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

Template:Infobox Fortune Street (also known as Boom Street in Europe and Australia) is a Wii game developed by Square Enix. It is a follow-up to the Nintendo DS game Itadaki Street DS and is the first Itadaki Street title that was released outside of Japan.

Gameplay

Four players (excluding the play system in Tutorial mode, where only three characters play) go around the board and buy shops. Some squares involve special attributes, such as Take-a-break squares (when a character lands there, all of his or her shops will close until the player's next turn) and Venture (like a Chance space in Monopoly) squares. Players also have the ability to invest money in their own shops when they land on them. If the player manages to get all four suits (heart, spade, diamond, and club), and return to the Bank (also the starting space) they can get a promotion. When a player gets a promotion, they get money for their salary, a shop bonus which is based off of how much their shops are worth, and how many they own, as well as a promotional bonus (extra money given to the player that increases as they level up). The player's level also goes up when they get a promotion. There are two different ways to play, the Easy rules and the Standard rules. In the Standard rules, there are districts on the board and a simplified stock market. If the player has more than one shop in a district, both shops will expand, meaning the shop's value, prices, and Max. Capital (the amount of money that can be invested into a shop) will all increase. In Easy mode, there are no stocks and no districts (shops will expand if the player owns multiple shops next to each other), making the game more accessible for new players.

Characters

All twenty-five characters from Itadaki Street DS return, with the addition of four new characters for a grand total of twenty-nine. Players can also use and customize their Miis in the game.

Miis are the only playable characters in single-player mode. In multiplayer, players can only choose between the Mario and Dragon Quest characters. Each computer character is ranked from S, A, B, C, D in terms of difficulty (S being the highest, and D being the lowest) which means each computer character has a predetermined difficulty. Even the player beats either all the Easy Tour boards or all the Standard Tour boards, they will have the ability to switchthe computers difficulty from S rank to their normal rank.

Minigames

• Round The Blocks - This is essentially a game of slots. The player can get three 7s in a row and get 500 gold coins (the game's currency, shortened as gold or simply g ) times their level, get three warp pipes or wings (depending on the board, Mario or Dragon Quest) in a row to warp, three stock icons to get a set amount of stocks in one district if playing standard mode, three Suit Yourself Cards (these are like wild cards; they can act as any suit the player does not have. Owning one Suit Yourself Card means the player could only collect three suits and still get promoted) in a row to get one of the afore-mentioned cards, or get 3 mushrooms or Slimes (depending on the board) to get 50g times the players level.
• Memory Block - The player chooses from a number of boxes to get either a 1-Up mushroom, a card with a coin which gives the player gold, a Suit Yourself Card, 5 stocks in a district or a card with Bowser's face on it which makes their shops shrink by a standardized percentage.
• Dart of Gold - The player throws a dart at a wheel that has different items that can help the player(s) or hurt them. Once the player throws the dart and hits an item (a treasure chest containing lots of gold, a gold coin worth less gold, stocks, a Suit Yourself Card), throw another dart at a diferent wheel that has all the player's faces on it, as well as a space that has everyone's faces on it. If the dart hits one player's space then they get the prize/punishment but if the dart hits the space with all the faces, then everyone gets the prize/punishment.
• Slurpodome - Players chose different colored Slimes to see which one will make it to the end first. Whoever gets their first wins the most money (100g times their level) , however since players collect coins along they way, any players with surviving Slimes will get some money (never more than about 50 g each)
