* JustHereForGodzilla: Many players are drawn to ''Fortune Street'' simply because it features Mario characters talking in full sentences.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: A mild example. ''Fortune Street'' is considered the weakest entry of the series, but was well-received overseas. This is pretty a mild example because it also happened to be the first, and so far only, entry released outside Japan.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: A mild example. ''Fortune Street'' is considered the weakest entry of the series, series in Japan, but was very well-received overseas. This is pretty a mild example because It helps that it also happened to be the first, and so far only, entry released outside Japan.Japan, meaning those overseas didn’t have anything to compare it to unlike Japanese players.

Already described on the main page — it doesn't need to be stated here (unless it's a trope concerning foreign titles). Also prioritizing English titles for the Wii game specifically.


* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: A mild example. ''Itadaki Street Wii'' (aka ''Fortune Street'' or ''Boom Street'' in America and Europe, respectively) is considered the weakest entry of the series, but was well-received overseas. This is pretty a mild example because it also happened to be the first, and so far only, entry released outside Japan.

* ValuesDissonance: The series encourages insider trading as a viable strategy. In real life, insider trading is '''illegal''' in many countries (including Japan, where the series originated [[note]]Although the Japanese policy against it is comparatively lax[[/note]]).
* VindicatedByHistory: Initial reviews of ''Itadaki Street Wii'' were pretty middling, even in the West, where it was the first and only Fortune Street released over there. However, more recent opinions on it are very positive, between the fun gameplay of the game and the surprisingly interesting character dialogue--no doubt due to receiving a ColbertBump [[LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys from popular lets players]]. Especially compared to its contemporaries in the party game genre, ''Itadaki Street Wii'' was able to stand the test of time.

** If you build a tax office in the Wii game, Yoshi, the same character who would later [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/yoshi-committed-tax-fraud gain a joke reputation on the internet as a serial tax evader]], may request if he can be tax-exempt when you do if he's in play. Note that Yoshi is the only character who does this.

** Despite featuring characters from ''Franchise/DragonQuest'', ''Franchise/SuperMario'' and ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', the latter two franchises never appeared in the same installment as one another. Years later, all three franchises appeared alongside each other in [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate another crossover]].

[[redirect:YMMV/ItadakiStreet]]* FridgeBrilliance: [[LovableCoward Luigi]] seems uncharacteristically bold and confident in the Wii game. But then, not even he could be scared of anything in a simple board game, and he's sometimes portrayed as being good with money and gambling. (His intro quote for The Ghost Ship has him reacting as expected, showing that his cowardice hasn't been forgotten.)

** The Dominating computer style (Highly-strung + Zealot) gives you a high chance of victory.

* UnexpectedCharacter: The final unlockable character in the Wii version is Patty, the woman who helps you organize your party in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIX''. [[FridgeBrilliance It makes sense in hindsight]]; who would be more skilled than her at business-related matters?
* ValuesDissonance: The series encourages insider trading as a viable strategy. In real life, insider trading is '''illegal''' in many countries (including Japan, where the series originated [[note]]Although the Japanese policy against it is comparatively lax[[/note]]).
