Goody Gumdrops.

I actually fired up Super Mario Sunshine a few weeks ago. Was nice to see good ol' Isle Delfino again

I'd like to own Yoshi's Island.

If only this game was a Platformer

The model is identical to Brawl one... Man. Why?

And, Yoshi Island will be epic

Yeah, definitely getting this...wonder what the character roster is. I wanna play as Dry Bones, lol. (if not, Wario is fine. >.>)

Square-Enix really know how to replicate Mario locales. These replicas look great!

Because just Mario Party isn't enough, darn it.

The Japan's Fortune Street Website has most of the characters, through 2 are yet to be revealed on each side.

... wow, they are reusing character art from past Mario Party 8 and even DDR Mario Mix (Luigi, at least) for Mario characters...

I'm not going to make a big deal out of it.. but I think they should make new character art like they did in Mario Hoops 3-on-3..

Anyways, Yoshi's Island looks beautiful. And this game sounds fun. Find it weird how it's not out in Japan yet.. I thought i was already...

Ah well...I'll just stick with Wario or Bowser Jr then. lol
Wish the English site would give us more info on this game though. >_>

i think this is going to turn out to be a good game- definitely was a surprise when this was announced earlier this year. different, yet hopefully very enjoyable as well.

Am I the only one who, when reading the headline on the news page, thought a real life town was going to be designed after a Mario Sunshine stage?

I don't understand this game. I want to. 'Cause I think I might like it. But so far... nope.

@LittleIrves
It's basically Mario Party's board game aspect blown up to a much larger proportion and given Dragon Quest characters.

Fortune Street reminds me of the Command Board game from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Is Fortune Street exactly like the command board game? If it is then I know what game I'm gonna get in December.

This sounds like Mario Party meets Monopoly with Dragon Quest characters added. It sounds interesting, so I might get it for Christmas, but it might also depend on reviews too. Those screenshots of Starship Mario look like they came right out of Super Mario Galaxy 2.
