    Wall Street Kid is a video game released by SOFEL for the NES. It was originally released in Japan as The Money Game II: Kabutochou no Kiseki (ザ・マネーゲームII「兜町の奇跡」?, "The Money Game 2: The Miracle of Kabutochou"), which was the sequel to The Money Game.
    The story line from the two versions are different but the layout and the scheme of the office are almost exactly the same. Only cosmetic changes were made to make it relevant with the North American audiences. Both of these games expect the player to exercise his avatar and go out on dates.
    The player must prove himself worthy by taking $500,000 in seed money in order to gain a six-hundred-billion-dollar inheritance from the extremely wealthy Benedict family. Successfully investing it in the American stock market results in rewards like going shopping on the weekend and being able to acquire expensive items such as a house. The player is also encouraged to spoil his girlfriend. The game terminates if the player is unable to raise the money needed for a key item such as a boat or the house, causing the stockbroker to be disowned by the family.

    Wall Street Kid is basically a real-life simulator. I never saw the appeal, as someone who views video games as a form of escapism. If I want to work 9-5, trade stocks, and buy needless and lavish crap for someone who isn't me... I don't need a video game to do that.
    Love the suit, Pat. And any episode with a musical number is A-OK in my book.
    Thanks for making this dreary weekend a bit brighter-- hope you're enjoying Too Many Games!

      This is the Sims with no bathroom and no peeing blue puddles on the floor (do the Sims drink blue kool-aid? I'd see a doctor if I peed blue)

    I honestly didn't expect to see pat in the suit with the glasses, although I should have from a mile away. he played it so straight with the "I'm not gonna do that" that I believed him. The result of it sliding back to him in costume was a hardy laugh that sent the cat running for cover. I also terrified my roommate.

    Definitely one of your best episodes. I, unlike many do not mind that there's long time periods between each episode. If this is the quality of the content you're producing. Take as much time as you need.

    Here's a true story Pat. There used to be a Video Game store called "Play N' Trade" where my local "Winn Dixie" resides, I saw this game on the NES section and was intrigued by the cover art. Sometime later, I got to play this game on an emulator and man was I bored to shit.

    XD Well, good to see the Punk that started this channel finally return. Also, LOL reviewing THIS game. Even your friend, the FUCKING Nerd (lol) didn't want to play this for very long. Also, this time the Punk as a character seems less afraid of more "crude" humor, which is interesting and yet still keeps the feel of the Punk being more upbeat. Also, where did you get Retro-Bear from and when?
    Btw, I'm sure anyone in Wall Street would say not to learn about the stocks from this NES game. Otherwise, they'd probs use this game as a teaching tool if it was ANY bit authentic. Connie seems like the top of office-goddess you'd see in various comedies involving office work boring its workers. So yeah, good to see the Punk himself finally got some new material.

    Ya know, the Best Friends gave you a little shout out recently in one of the Mystery Box videos. Matt called you "Nice Pat." That's awesome!
    Anyway, I like the podcast stuff, but I really like your reviews the most. Also, this game is an underrated gem that seem boring as fuck on the surface but it can be pretty engaging once you get into it. It just sickens me that everyone in this game is a shallow greedy piece of shit. I would have liked to see it take some kind of arc in which Wall Street Kid dumps his girlfriend, sells everything he owns, moves into a run down shit house in the toxic waste part of town, and starts an underground boxing club.

      exiledPostman See, these types of games are golden; if a developer just picked up the IP, they could totally make a multiple ending-each choice you make has a consequence type of game. They made plenty of tycoon games that sold *shrug*
