New video game releases this week:
“Fortune Street.” — Nintendo’s new franchise is like a mix of its long-running “Mario Party” series crossed with “Monopoly.” In this four-player interactive board game, players can guide Mario, Luigi and their friends to wealth by buying properties, overcharging foes and draining bank account while playing the stock market. OK, just don’t tell Occupy Wall Street. Rated E for Everyone. $50 for Nintendo Wii.
Also out this week: “Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights” (Nintendo 3DS), “Vampires v. Zombies” (Windows PC), “Fritz Chess 11: Grandmaster Edition” (PC), “Aqua Mania 5 Pack” (PC), “The Number Devil” (PC), “I Heart Geeks” (Nintendo DS), “Kids Learn Spelling and Grammar: A+ Edition” (DS), “Marble Arena 2” (PC, Mac), “Q.U.B.E.” (downloadable for PC), “Joe Danger” (downloadable for Xbox 360).
