Nintendo Announces Early Release Date for Boom Street
Was on track for 6th January.
Nintendo just can't wait to let everyone have a bit of (virtual) fortune, as its mascot board game Boom Street has had its release date pushed forward to 28th December 2011. The Wii title was originally due to hit the shelves on 6th January 2012.
Featuring characters from the Super Mario and Square Enix's Dragon Quest series, Boom Street sees players acquire properties and invest in buildings in order to get rich quicker than their opponents. You can also manipulate the stock market and collect suits which can be traded in for more money.
So basically, it's Monopoly with various scenes from Super Mario Galaxy and Dragon Quest making appearances. With many games being pushed back to take advantage of a potentially more lucrative gaming season in 2012, it's interesting to see Nintendo move a game forward. Just in time for Boxing Day week sales, right? Looks like 2012's come early!
