Monopoly: Nintendo

[Dante]

Monopoly Nintendo-themed characters and elements, such as Slippy Toad, Princess Zelda, and King Dedede. That's right; USAopoly has been granted the license from Hasbro and Nintendo to create a Nintendo-centric Monopoly board game. Get ready to "play" as iconic items such as Mario's iconic hat, Donkey Kong's famous barrel, the familiar Koopa Troopa shell, a majestic Hylian shield, Link's heavy metal boots, and the classic original NES controller all recreated as pewter tokens.

"As someone who grew up with a Nintendo controller in his hand, working on this game was like a dream come true," said Derek Stucker, Game Designer, USAOPOLY. "Throughout the games development I tried to include as much for the old school Nintendo players as the newer ones, from faded back screen shots on the game board center of the original Donkey Kong, Super Mario Brothers and Legend of Zelda games, to the integration of the original NES controller as one of the tokens. Whether you’re someone like me who grew up glued to the original Nintendo Entertainment System, or a young kid just picking up a Nintendo DS or Wii for the first time, you’re sure to have a blast with this game."

D look sweet, monopoly is such a sweet game, i dont get what you pay for though?
you pay for zelda, for what your slave???...that might be good....

[Charlie]

I saw this on Digg (too?), looks pretty cool. Reckon it will be coming out in the UK?

[BGS]

Woooo this would be amazing!!! Get rid of the $$$s though, I want to pay for things in RUPEES or MARIO COINS (though probably in note form)

Edit: For that matter, I don't want to own Mario and Toad. I want to own THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM and HYRULE.

I'd probably buy this regardless.

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

Sweet! -->15

[Blackfox]

Looks shit. Nothing beats the original.

[Hero-of-Time]

I MUST HAVE THIS!!!!!!! If it dont get released over here I will get my bro to get me one as he lives in the US

[somme]

I won't buy it. Not really worth the money when I could print out pictures and glue them over my existing monopoly board.

[Meik]

Looks cool. I like how Waluigi has been used as the alternative to Old Kent Road (the slum). The stupid tit.

Yeah I thought this was cool until I realised Tingle would be much better.

TINGLE HATRED FOR THE WIN!

QFT

Hopefully there will be a chance card that gives you $1000 for beating on Tingle.

[BGS]

I did not know that.
Though I did hear that when you get sent to jail in this version you get Tingle as a cellmate.

Just dont drop the soap!

[somme]

Why not? tingle looks like a good lay to me. :heart:

[KKOB]

whens it out and where???

[BGS]

Why not? tingle looks like a good lay to me. :heart:

Out of all the horror moments in movies, literature and theatre NOTHING has scared me more than reading that! :heh:

[mcj metroid]

wow have they made monopoly out of everything now?

[somme]

Out of all the horror moments in movies, literature and theatre NOTHING has scared me more than reading that! :heh:

I have far worse than that under my skirt. :heart:

[BGS]

Ahh I've worn a skirt or two in my day and the horrors beneath that have been ghastly!

[somme]

They should turn Tingle into a gay icon. haha.

[Ashley]

Sweet! -->15

People still haven't realised its a 10 character limit?

Anywho. If it comes out here before Christmas may get it for silly drunk times.

[EEVILMURRAY]

I'm down with this.

[Marshmellow]

DAAAAAAAAAAAMN imma buy this crazy game! replace my boring alaska version...

[The3rdChildren]

I think they could do better than Link's boots, but that's just me. Maybe a 1-up mushroom or something. Also, different Nintendo controllers would have been quite cool playing pieces. Or miniature versions of their consoles/handhelds.

[EEVILMURRAY]

I don't approve of the heavy metal boots. Surely there was something better they could've used.

[Stefkov]

instead of his boots the master sword set in stone wouldve been good. marios hat is a good choice, but a 1-up mushroom would be cool. wouold think of more but i cant

[Cube]

The boots and koopa shell need to go.

Instead you need stuff from other Nintendo games. (theres already a Mario and Zelda one there).

Perhaps
- Blue Falcon (F-Zero)
- Metroid (Metroid)
- T-Block (Tetris)
- Arwing (Starfox)
- Flower Pikmin (Pikmin)

[Dan Dare]

For sure a Kart should really be in there?

still, it's pretty cool. not as cool as the marvel Comics rare issues version but there you go...

some pretty sweet ones, but instead of metroid the morph ball version would be cool. the great fox(?) shouls be there aswell. An umbreall for peach is what i thought of.
the minish cap, the ones that talked.
king boos crown
ice climbers hammer(s)
a yoshi egg
basebal ba for ness
you could just have kirby
a pokeball
most of them are suff i just looked at the cover of smash bros

[KKOB]

whens it coming out and where???

*crys*

[Kurtle Squad]

But you buy people!!!...That's stupid. Wouldn't it be better to buy places from the games?! :S With the crappest lil places at the start of the board and Peaches & Zeldas castles as the most expencive:heh:

Poor old Waluigi's the worst place :(

However, I'd still be interested in this, as the version we have is OLD!!

[Ashley]

whens it coming out and where???

*crys*

At a guess, October time (it is a Christmas kind of thing :santa: ). Hopefully this country as well as America.

[Marshmellow]

[Hellfire]
