Hasta La Gadget!

Earlier in March during the Toy Fair, it was revealed that both the Pokemon and The Legend of Zelda franchise would be getting the Monopoly treatment, meaning that if you love Monopoly and you love either (or both) titles, it would be like the perfect marriage and a great way to get your friends together for some old fashion board games.

Now thanks to a listing by Southern Hobby Supply, the box art for both games have since been revealed and we have to say that it looks pretty good so far! As you can see on the image’s watermark, it has been marked as prototype which means that there is a chance that the artwork could change before its release which is currently pegged for the 21st of August.

Unfortunately apart from the box art, the interior of the box was not shown off, meaning that we still have no idea on what the design of the board could look like, or how the Pokemon and Zelda-themed board pieces would look like in real life either (we’re hoping that it would be really cool though).

However apart from the Pokemon and Zelda-themed locations and board pieces, we can only assume that the rules of the game will remain the same, but will just get an update/twist on it looks, but at the same time we reckon that Pokemon and Zelda fans/collectors out there would love to get their hands on it anyway.

You may remember that earlier this year Monopoly announced its plans to sacrifice one of America’s beloved tokens in favor of adding some new blood. But it was ok! Because they were letting us (the internet) choose which icon of our childhood to kill and which hot young thing to replace it with. Given the options of a robot, helicopter, guitar, diamond ring, or cat, the internet chose the cat (because of course) and axed the iron. It was one hell of a trade.
