NCS Product Synopsis
Update: July 16, 2010
«©NCSX» Previous games in the Momotarou Dentetsu franchise pitted a solo player against other participants in a relentless race for wealth. That lonely sort of entrepreneurship ends with Hudson's new "Tag Match" version of Momotarou where a team cooperates and collaborates to build a business empire faster than a a rival team. Players may engage in 2-vs-2 challenges or a 1-vs-3 contest where one savvy businessman attempts to outmaneuver a team of three competitors. That one businessman would be alone again (naturally) but perhaps some hustlers thrive on loneliness.

   Similar to earlier Momotetsu games, players travel across the expanse of Japan by rail with the goal of buying real estate and building up capital reserves. More capital means the wherewithal to purchase more property which in turn leads to more capital. Momotetsu is played in board game format where every player throws a die (that's singular for dice) and the resultant number is the amount of spaces that one may move. On each location on the play board, an event occurs or a property may be bought for a listed amount of yen. The size of the play map sprawls larger than the areas found in the recent versions of Momotetsu on the Nintendo DS (3.3X larger than Momotaro Dentetsu DS: TOKYO & JAPAN and 2.5X larger than Momotaro Dentetsu 20th Anniversary) so there'll be properties galore to procure. An assemblage of new events, properties, characters, and a new adversary named Tsurugi Bombee make their debut in the game. For multiple player tag-team antics, up to four gamers may play a short version of Momotetsu by linking up via ad hoc mode with 1 copy of the game.
