    Default Mario vs Dragon Quest:A new Square Enix crossover

    http://ds.ign.com/articles/736/736719p1.html

    Square Enix has successfuly taken Mario to the court with Mario Basket 3 on 3, and now it's attempting to do the same with board games. The Final Fantasy publisher announced today Itadaki Street DS, the latest installment in its long-running board game series, and the first to feature the world's most famous plumber.

    While the PlayStation 2 and PSP entries in the board game series featured a Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest crossover, Square Enix has teamed up with Nintendo this time around. Itagaki Street DS will feature characters and themes from both Dragon Quest and Super Mario Bros.

    Sadly, aside from the logo, which hints that Mario and Slime will appear in the title, we don't have details on which characters and stages will appear in the game.

    Gameplay details are also a mystery at this point. Square Enix has announced that WiFi support will be included, so you'll be able to play over the internet with your buddies.

    Although relatively unknown in America, Itadaki Street is quite popular in Japan thanks in part to its connection with the Dragon Quest series. The focus of the game is on raising money by opening up shop and charging other players as they pass over your real estate.

    Recent installments have earned worldwide attention thanks to the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest crossover, the first such cross-licensing for the two mega properties. With an appearance by Mario, and Dragon Quest's recent worldwide success, perhaps we'll at last see this series in our parts.

    It probably won't be released outside of Japan. The one for PSP wasn't.

    Or the one for PS2. Who knows though, Nintendo might have enough faith in the Mario franchise to try foisting this game on us.

    New scans.

    It looks really weird when they draw in all the details on Mario and Luigi's overalls.

    No weirder than the shape of Mario's moustache.
