[Madison]

OH MY GOD

 

[Kouriozan]

We need a Fortune Street sequel ASAP.

 

[DecoReturns]

What an unfortunate coincidence.

(I'll admit. The Yoshi not paying taxes meme is kinda funny. Tho over used.

 

[JeTmAn]

Great, now let's make him president

 

[RochHoch]

Brilliant. The meme was canon before it was even originated.

 

[chadskin]

Taxation is theft. #wokelibertarian

 

[Falconbox]

I have so many questions.

What is Fortune Street?

And since when is Yoshi not paying taxes some kind of joke/meme?

 

[louisacommie]

Fuck you yoshi

Mind blowing.

 

[TheDanimal]

I've been building a case against this scoundrel for years; I'm glad I can finally put the nail into this cold, scam artist's coffin.

 

[Becks']

IT IS CANON

 

[ShinobiBk]

People don't know this but Yoshi is actually the villain in his games.
Baby Bowser and Kamek are actually IRS agents

It's Square-Enix's digital board game about property and investment, think Monopoly. The Wii version is the only installment of the series to come West, and it was a relatively obscure title at that.

I have no idea when Yoshi committing tax fraud became a thing, but it's definitely a thing.

Fortune Street is like a Monopoly game where you buy spaces and try to have the most money.

 

[Mitsurugi]

Yoshi is above the law.

[Rogue Agent]

A future Yoshi game should have a tax collector as an antagonist.

Correct take

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

Even fucking Wario pays his taxes, Yoshi needs to be locked up.

 

[ASaiyan]

Even more telling is that this is a Square Enix game. Nintendo has been covering up for its star for years. But everyone else in the industry knows.

It's kind of monopoly, and originated as a minigame in Dragon Quest 3. It ended up being popular enough to spin into its own franchise, which has had a fair few releases. Most recently, the Japan only DQ x FF crossover:

2/12 games have Nintendo characters.

 

[Clefargle]

It is now Canon

So can we get Sam Seder vs Yoshi at the libertarian convention in 2020?

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

LMAO!

 

[ffdgh]

This is...strange.

 

[Avengers23]

Jeff Gerstmann was right.


All hail.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

I always knew Yoshi was a Republican.

Fuck this bitch-ass dinosaur.

 

[Vilix]

I knew he was friends with Wesley Snipes for a reason.

 

[Deleted member 7450]

Lock that scumbag and throw away the key.

WE GOT HIM!!!

 

[MrSaturn99]

Sweet Jesus. And here I was hoping he wasn't a Trumpian crook.

A great reminder that Supper Mario Broth is one of the best accounts to follow on Twitter.

You can't make this shit up.

You're all going after Yoshi but personally I'd like to see what Peach and Bowser are actually declaring on their tax forms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_Street

AKA Itadaki Street/Boom Street

Long-running game series, Monopoly-like, often featuring Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest characters. The Wii entry included Mario characters and is the only one localized in the West. The DS entry also had Mario characters, but wasn't localized.

EDIT: I guess one of the mobile entries also counts as being localized, but eh...
