Trade stocks with characters from the Mario and Dragon Quest games.

At E3 yesterday Reggie Fils-Aime promised that a number of Wii titles are on their way and the official press site detailed some of them. In addition to Mario Party 9 and Kirby Wii the site contained information for the previously Japan-only Fortune Street.

Fortune Street combines the Mario and Dragon Quest franchises and puts them in a Mario Party meets the stock exchange scenario. The title will be out later this year but for now enjoy the official fact sheet, found below, and some screenshots.

• Players move around one of more than 15 boards, buying shops to build their portfolios and collecting symbols they can cash in at the bank to earn more gold to invest. It takes money to make money, so racing around the board may not be the best strategy.
• To capitalize on their monetary gains, players can make investments, play the stock market, purchase shops and collect shopping fees. Players with multiple shops adjacent to one another see them grow in value and their shops level up. Other players who land on those squares have to pay an increased shopping fee.
• Players can choose to play as a variety of Mushroom Kingdom characters, as DRAGON QUEST characters or even as their own Mii� characters.
• More than 15 different game boards are available, providing endless replay value.
• The beginner setting helps newcomers learn the basics, while a more advanced mode introduces more challenges, deeper strategy options and the ability to play the stock market.
• The franchise has been a hit in Japan, and this marks its first appearance in North America.
