From everyone’s favorite red-capped plumber to barrel-tossing Donkey Kong to bounty hunter Samus Aran, they’re all up for grabs in this exciting fun-filled adventure. Are you game?"
It looks a bit expensive for a board game. Maybe not though, it's been a while since I bought one.
I already have a Monopoly game, but it looks like a nice thing to get if you don't already have one.

Wtf...=/
Alright, well first of all I hate the game Monopoly, I played it and I didn't liked it.
It looks funny and so and I bet millions of people are happy with it, but to me it isn't interesting. Simply because I don't like boardgames that much and only a few I like, monopoly isn't one of them though.
Nice for the fans, but I'll skip this. Besides, every house already has monopoly anyway.

Yea but look at the spaces. Metaknight, Dedede, Gannon, Zelda? Are we buying places or People?!
I'd might buy it only for the tokens that are included, I like the Shield. lol

It looks like you're buying people, well as far as you can call King Dedede and Metaknight people.
Sounds kinda idiotic to me lol. You stand on my Ganondorf, you'll have to pay me 300 dollars, or sell me your Zelda. lol
But yes, they pawns look nice =P

I won't buy it, because I already have a Monopoly game. And I don't want to look like a nerd. I have this neat little roleplay outside of my house that I'm not a nerd.
It's a little too expensive for a board game also. The real thing's the same game and much cheaper, and I'm no collector.

Princess Zelda is only $300. That's a pretty good deal if you ask me. =p

Pretty much 20 quid for the Uk'ers, if it does hit our island that is.
Same price as any board game that's sold here, to be honest. xD
Mm... I'm not too interested in it, but I might end up buying it just for the fun of having a different monopoly xD. Since our familt plays it almost every christmas it might be nice to have a different setting board as opposed to comepeting to buy Mayfair... xD.

wtf is that, board games are old school now, I think everyone is happy with their classic monoply, but then again I'm probably wrong.

Hmm it looks kinda cute, but I would never buy it cause I am no where near the Nintendo fan you have to be to buy this. But there is of course one certain Nintendo fanboy on here who might =P *cough* Lol.
But there have been SO many different versions of this game it gets ridiculous. I am sad enough to say I own a normal version and a Simpsons version (my parents bought it not me), but well that is quite funny. Well, I never really liked the game, we would play it occassionally as a family at Christmas sometimes or maybe the odd occassion throughout the year. But the first part is fine, getting all the houses sold and such but then it gets SO boring cause the game is too long, and I have to think about all my money and morgages and meh I am too young to condemn myself to those thoughts xD. But some of the board places and drawings on the board are kinda sweet =) I'd have Marios hat <3

They should at least make it so you buy locations instead of characters. Like for example Hyrule Castle or something. Now that would be pretty exspensive lol. It's kinda silly really buying characters. I'm happy with my original version of monopoly.

It looks cute, but I cannot stand Monopoly. When I play it for only 20 minutes I start getting ready to flip the board.
Heh, we used to have Pokemon monopoly, and you would buy the different pokemon in the different gyms. It was... odd.

*GASP*
I'm a HUGE Monopoly fan, so I have to get this. My brother has the Star Wars one, and I think a Simpsons one too. I'm surprised they didn't do this before.
And Raincoat...I can't believe you dissed Monopoly
Just kidding, a lot of people hate it. No one at my house will ever play it with me. They all get bored and pissed off! I have to purposely invite my friend over to play it, because she's the only other person that likes it lol
