First trailer shows off the localized version of the Japan-inspired Monopoly-like game.

Billion Road is a board game video game that looks akin to Monopoly or Fortune Street at a glance and it is coming to Switch in March 2020.

While it was officially revealed for the west in November, Publisher acttil just released the debut English trailer. The trailer shows off the game, which is a four-player competition to become rich while traveling through a game board based on real-life Japanese locations. A major twist is that monsters populate the board. Monsters can be encountered, leading to either a helpful or a hindering result. Owing more to Fortune Street, which only ever came to the west on Wii, you invest in properties as opposed to buying them. Stock dividends are paid out once an in-game year. The whole thing seems bizarre, but also potentially awesome.

Billion Road is actually developed by Bandai Namco, who published the game in Japan. It is also coming to PC with online play that doesn't appear to be making the transition to Switch. Four players can play using just a single Joy-Con on Nintendo's system. Both versions of the game are already out in Japan.

More info about the English release of Billion Road will come out before its March 2020 release.

Bowser pays Mario upon landing on Mario's spaceThis game functions like a Monopoly style board game. It can be played with up to four players.

If game data can't be saved or won't be saved, only offline multiplayer is available (though Out of Lunch can be used to mimic a single player game. Every player can be CPU players by doing this). When playing multiplayer offline, records aren't saved. Also, when playing multiplayer offline, players can decide if each player should have their own Remote, or that players share one Wii Remote. When using the latter option, players will press one of the three buttons:, and during an Auction to make a bid, and are ordered based on where characters appear in the Auction window.At the start of a game, all players use number machines to determine the turn order, with the highest number going first (note that it is possible for two numbers on the number machines to be the same, if so then the tying players use the number machines again). The only exceptions are the tutorial, where the human player always goes first; and in Custom Rules, should the Order of play be set to As picked, where it makes P1 goes first, then P2, then P3 then P4.Four players (excluding the play system in Tutorial mode, where only ) take turns by rolling to go around the board and buy shops. Some squares involve special attributes, such as Take-a-break squares (when a character lands there, all of his or her shops will close until the player's next turn) and Venture squares (like a Chance space in Monopoly).

Players also have the ability to invest money in their own shops when they land on them (a maximum of 999 per turn). Scattered around the board are four suits (Heart, Club, Diamond, and Spade); if the player collects all of them and returns to the Bank (also the starting space) they get a promotion. When a player gets a promotion, they get a fixed amount for their salary, plus a shop bonus which is based off 10% the sum of all the player's shop value, as well as a promotional bonus (extra money given to the player that increases as they level up). The player's level also goes up when they get a promotion.The player wins by increasing their net worth to at least the target amount (usually determined by the game, if on Custom though, this can range between 6,000 and 999,000 in increments of 1,000) and returning to the bank first (in the Practice Boards, the target net worth for Easy Rules and Standard Rules are 5,000 G and 8,000 G respectively). Net worth is the total combined amount of ready cash and value in stocks and shops and can be increased by having other players land on their shops and buying multiple shops in an area or investing in stocks and owned shops to increase the stock price. If the player runs out of ready cash at any point, they must sell either stocks or a shop to try and get out of debt; any shops sold for cash are auctioned (the winning bid gets paid to the bank). Note that the bank only offers 75% of the shop price to a player if they are in debt.

Also, if a player auctions a shop from 'Manage Shops' or gets, the highest bid is credited to the original owner. If the player's net worth goes below zero, then they go bankrupt; all their assets are sold off if any remain and they are automatically eliminated from the game. The player with the highest net worth automatically wins if the bankruptcy limit is met (although in a very rare case should two or more players have the same highest net worth, the player that goes later in the turn order wins). In Tour mode, the game ends once one player goes bankrupt, in Custom mode, this can be set to when two players go bankrupt or to have a last-man-standing rule.There are two different ways to play: the Easy rules and the Standard rules.Standard Rules. Vacant lots in Standard rulesIn the Standard rules, the board is divided into several color-coded districts and includes a stock market. If the player has more than one shop in a district, both shops expand, meaning the shop's value, prices, and max capital (the amount of money that can be invested into a shop) will all increase. Owning all the shops in a district results in a monopoly, which greatly expands all the shops in that district.

There is usually 4 shops in a district.Stocks can be purchased at the bank or a stockbroker square, but only 99 can be bought in one district at one given time; despite that, stocks can be sold at any time before a player's turn. Stocks can increase or decrease in value at any time. An increase of shop values or a large purchase of stock at one time will increase the stock value in that district. Contrariwise, a decrease of shop values or a large sale of stock at one time will decrease the stock value in that district.

Like shops, stocks are assets, and therefore, they will not decrease net worth when purchased. When stocks increase or decrease in value, only the player's net worth will be affected. This is dependent on two factors: how many stocks owned in that district, and by how much the stock value fluctuates. For example, if a district's stock value increases by 5G, a player who owns 200 stocks in that same district will gain a 1000G bonus in net worth.Exclusive to Standard rules are vacant plots. These spaces allow a player to build upon the land.

A vacant plot can be changed, or 'renovated', at any time before the player rolls the dice block. Characters have expansive dialogue and interact with each otherAll twenty-two characters from Itadaki Street DS return, with the addition of four new characters for a grand total of twenty-six. Players can also use and customize their in the game.Miis are the only playable characters in single-player and online mode; in multiplayer offline, players can also choose between the Mario and Dragon Quest characters as well. Each computer character is ranked from S, A, B, C, D in terms of difficulty (S being the highest, and D being the lowest) which means each computer character has a predetermined difficulty.

– This is essentially a game of slots. The player can get three 7s in a row and get 500 gold coins (the game's currency, shortened as gold or simply g ) times their level, get three warp pipes or wings (depending on the board, Mario or Dragon Quest) in a row to warp, three stock icons to get a set amount of stocks in one district if playing standard mode, three Suit Yourself Cards (these are like wild cards; they can act as any suit the player does not have. Owning one Suit Yourself Card means the player could only collect three suits and still get promoted) in a row to get one of the afore-mentioned cards, or get 3 mushrooms or Slimes (depending on the board) to get 50g times the players level. – The player chooses from a number of boxes to get either a 1-Up mushroom which makes all of their shops increase by 10%, a card with a coin which gives the player 10G multiplied by their level, a Suit Yourself Card, 5 stocks in a district, or a card with Bowser's face on it which makes all of their shops decrease by 5%. Sometimes, all of the blocks will be the same size, so there is a chance that the player may get a Bowser card easily. That happens to first place the most. – The player throws a dart at a wheel that has different items that can help or hurt players.

Once the player throws the dart and hits an item (a treasure chest containing 100G times a player's level, a gold coin worth 10G times a player's level, three gold coins worth 30G times a player's level, stocks, a 1-Up Mushroom that will increase the target's shop values by 5%, Bowser, that will decrease the target's shop values by 5%, or a Suit Yourself Card), throw another dart at a different wheel that has all the player's faces on it, as well as a space that has everyone's faces on it. If the dart hits one player's space then they get the prize/punishment but if the dart hits the space with all the faces, then everyone gets the prize/punishment.

– Players chose different colored Slimes to see which one will make it to the end first. Along the way, the treasure chest will open and reveal one of many things: a gold coin worth 20G, a Mimic which knocks the Slime out of the race, a Munchie which does nothing to affect the race, or a seed of agility which increases the Slime's speed.

Sometimes, Rockbombs will roll onto the track and knock a Slime out of the race. Whoever gets to the end first wins the most money (100G times the level of the starting player plus any coins they collect), however since players collect coins along they way, all players will get some money (depending on the number of chests hit), if they collected at least one coin. Rewards are doubled for easy rules.Venture Cards. Venture CardsWhen a player lands on a Venture Space or a Suit Space, the player must pick a Venture Card. When a player picks a card, the following will happen depending on the number (note that text marked in bold are exclusive to Standard Rules while text marked in italics are optional):.
