last i checked fortune street wasn't super expensive. as long as you can find some enjoyment in monopoly you will likely enjoy this series.
if it gets localized I expect both the vita version and even a pc version will be released. vita digital only of course.
chances are low but not zero. even if it isn't localized though there isn't a ton of text. I plan on learning the characters and remembering what means what eventually lol. Won't be able to speak japanese but I sure as hell will know that I just gained 5 stocks in every area.
the reviews were really dumb. I get mario party was popular and the game had mario with dice... but it was about as much like mario party as halo is to starcraft because they both have space related combat. people often compared it to mario party, going in expecting rapid mini games instead of what the game is... a board game that is to be played for 60-120 minutes.
most of the reviews complained about how the game wasn't mario party... and it never was trying to be, the series predates mario party :/ You really should give it a try sometime though if you like board games, as it is a way to play monopoly and have fun
In fairness, going from Fortune Street Wii to Itadaki Street Portable was a real eye-opener for me. While Fortune Street is perfectly fine, it's really lacking in its presentation and mini games. Only problem with the mini games in Portable is you can't set them to random like the Wii game. Hopefully the new game has that.
Edit: I do like the chibi but Toriyama accurate models in Fortune Street over the unified Anime style. Judging from the teaser though, we'll probably get the latter.
Also, yeah, I might just import and try playing "blind" if I really have to.
