Okay so I was reading Game Informer (Issue 224, December 2011) because I saw Dragon Quest 10 and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, but this isn't the reason I made this thread. Square Enix is making a Monopoly like game called Fortune Street, but it features Dragon Quest characters (like Bianca and everyone's favorite pudding shaped friend the slime) and Super Mario characters (Mario and Bowser are a few examples). There are nearly 30 playable characters. There are 15 different boards. The Publisher is Square Enix, and the Developer is Armor Project. You can have 1-4 players. This gane will be released on December 5 for the Wii. Fortune Street, money never sleeps.

There was a similar game made a long time ago on the PS2 and PSP called Itadaki Street featuring Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy characters but it was never released outside of Japan, so if they plan on remaking the game and finally releasing it in English I'm actually going to be looking forward to it.

I saw this game the other day while rying to find games my two roommates and I could all play on co-op and I'm kind of tempted except that I haven't actually played any main DQ games so those characters would just be lost on me and I probably wouldn't enjoy it much. :(

But these games aren't new. I remember seeing info on that Final Fantasy-Dragon Quest crossover one on the PS2 yeaaars ago and wanting it to come here. Kinda disappointing that it never did but hopefully I can push myself through some DQ games and try this out. It looks like fun. :P

Dragon Quest isn't as popular of a series as Final Fantasy, I just find it strange mixing DQ characters with Nintendo characters, seeing how they have almost no relations.

Dragon Quest is more popular than Final Fantasy in Japan. That, and what 100 Mega Shock said--DQ is actually on Nintendo systems. Most recent Final Fantasy games? Only the spin-offs have been on Wii or DS. So of all the IPs to mix with Nintendo characters, Dragon Quest really does make more sense.

I'm just surprised it's being localized at all.

Square-Enix releases their latest game in a 20-year old series designed by the man who made Dragon Quest and worked on Chrono Trigger.
Akira Toriyama? He is the creator of the Dragon Ball Manga, and Dr. Slump Manga. He just does the character designs for Chrono Trigger, and Dragon Quest. Which makes me happy cause Toriyama is one of my idols.

On Topic, Final Fantasy seems more popular, but really it isnt. Dragon Quest is a lot more popular, even my sensei (she is from Japan too) asks me if I ever played it, and she never seems to ask me if I played FF, She is also a nintendo family she says she doesnt own any other systems but nintendo. Dragon Quest and Mario seems like a good fit imo. I would like to see a bit of KH and Mario collab, but that just me Idk if others will agree.

In Japan and Europe DQ is more popular, not so much in the U.S. I like DQ better than FF but people talk more about FF. It's hard to find a person who likes DQ or any Square Enix game. A KH and Mario collab seems interesting but kinda off, They have original characters, FF characters, and Disney as it is already Mario would kinda me too much.

Kingdom Hearts has more Disney Characters than it does FF. Original Yes. Maybe if they added like the Originals, and Like Donald, Goofy, and Mickey and Mario Characters in one. Idk. I would like it, I mean it seems perfect cause KH is a game for that is suitable for Kids, and Mario is too.

If I remember correctly, Dragon Quest is more popular than Final Fantasy over there.
