Nintendo monopoly

[Turbo D]

Picked it up the other day at the mall. Haven't played it yet though. Is it any good?

[TR0N]

Here i thought this thread was about there sales in the console race 

Given they keep making money on the wii&ds.

How can it be good? I mean, crap, it's just Monopoly with Nintendo characters, like a ROM-hacked Monopoly. It just changes the names of places and changes the pawns to Nintendo characters, and probably introduces stupid new rules which NOBODY will use after the first game, and one of those rules will invariably involve a Warp Tunnel in some shape or fashion.

It's still the same damn real estate game that takes forever and makes you sit next to Uncle Frank who just farts and tells his Vietnam stories all day.

Yippy fucking skippy. 

EDIT: Since the pawns are going to be the only thing that people care about anyway, here you go:

Comes complete with 6 collectible pewter tokens of Donkey Kong's Barrel, Links Iron Boots, Hylian Shield, NES Controller, Mario's Cap, and Koopa Shell.

The NES controller is cool, and the Koopa Shell is an INGENIOUS pawn, but they should have put an Arwing and a Fire Stingray pawn in as well.

ya, those pawns are what helped sell me, haha. I have to get a few people to play it with me, lol, that is the real task.

Which is where the original Windows 95/98 Monopoly stands out with it's great AI. Plus it has the CGI shoe. Everybody loves the shoe.

You should've skipped the Nintendo version and went straight to the Christmas Story version.  The fishnet stocking clad leg lamp pawn is vastly superior to any NES controller or Koopa Shell pawn.

[Kitsunexus]

Screw the Monopoly game and just get the lamp...

[Turbo D]

the lamp was tempting, haha. but I had no place to put it.

i can just see the community chest card now

[OldRover]

There should be a PCE Monopoly. Hrm...

[termis]

I'd say just play good ol' board game for things like this.  It just ain't the same when people have to select shit on the controller and see what's happening on the TV.

Kinda like playing video poker or something -- it totally kills the experience if you're playing video poker vs real poker.

[SignOfZeta]

Personally, I hate Monopoly. It takes like 5 hours to finish. Its torture.

[Golgo13]

This is the real nintendo monopoly.

[Turbo D]

wow, thats cool, haha. I wonder if my nintendo monopoly is anything like it 

[Kitsunexus]

Yes, you even have to blow in the box to make sure it works right.
