Clubhouse Games / 42 All-Time Classics (8 player Wi-Fi sex party)
 

http://www.tothegame.com/res/game/55...t_us_large.jpg

Everyone take off your pants and do a little dance, Clubhouse Games is comin' to town. 42 All-Time Classics is also arriving as the renamed version for Europe. OPEN THE DOORS, because as the Euro name suggests, there's 42 games. MOVE THE LOUNGE OUT INTO THE GARAGE. Nintendo's being pretty piss quiet about the game, even though it's due out next month in Europe/UK and October in America/Aus/NZ. Quiet like piss I say! You know, stealth and all that, Solid Snake. The game was released last year in Japan, but this huge delay has been worth it because the Japanese release didn't have online gameplay.

website on the net.

I just hope they don't later reveal that like, only three games have an online mode or something. The sex party would be over, everyone would go home. Who'd clean up? Macgyver? Oh my no. So what games are here?

Bowling, Mini Golf, Darts, Billiards, Old Maid, Spit, I Doubt It, Sevens, Memory, Pig, Blackjack, Hearts, Rummy, Last Card, Last Card Plus, Hang Man, President, Five-card draw, Texas Hold 'Em, Nap, Spades, Contract Bridge, Hasami Shogi, Turncoat, Chinese Checkers, Checkers, Dots and Boxes, Backgammon, Chess, Connect Five (Gomoku), Grid Attack, Koi-Koi (Hanafuda), Soda Shake, Dominoes, Balance, Take Over, Solitaire, Escape, Mahjong Solitaire, Field Tactics and Ludo.

BOWLING, MINI GOLF AND BILLIARDS HOOOOLY CRAP. Game of the year. Product of the year. Year of the year. Here are some action packed screens!

It's gonna be budget priced here, maybe the rest of the world too, I dunno.

A very long video!

The only reason I clicked on this thread is "8-player Wi-Fi sex party."

I am disappointed to see that this is not the case. :(

Gonna have to wait 'till it's released for the sex party to begin. :(

I've been interested in this game since I saw it at E3 this year, so I'll probably be getting it. Even if all the games aren't online, I can always force my sister to play them with me. But anyway, most of the games look pretty good, so I think this game will wind up being pretty cool.

Will Solataire be Wi-Fi compatible? MYSTERY!

Holy crap. I've never seen this. This could be hella fun to play online, at least the shorter games (darts, bowling, billiards, etc.). I don't see full games of poker or chess happening.

PictoChat feature on Wi-Fi wins.

This seems like it'd be fun, I might pick this up once I get another DS. Wi-Fi Pictochat-like thing could be entertaining. My only minor complaint is that playing many of the games listed on Wi-Fi won't be as fun as playing the real version, where you can yell and verbally taunt each other endlessly (I wonder if Xbox 360 will have something like this?).

Online chat doo-higgy. Full colour, take THAT, PicoChat. More like PictoCrap am I right/wrong/left/up/down. And more new screens because posts look fancy when you avoid words and use images.

"Kamertje verhuren"! Wewt! =D That's exciting stuff.

I went to PAX yesterday and they had this playable at a few of their big DS booths.

Really smooth presentation, played quite well. I'm definately looking forward to this coming out, as I'm sure it'll eat up my time quite nicely.

I wonder if it's randomly matched or if you can create your own
private rooms to invite specific NDS users ^_^

Let me check out that website!

I like the idea on having all those great games playable whenever and the online features seem cool...but I'm not big on paying 30-35 bucks on games I rarely play at home or on paper in school...eh we'll see.

This could be alot of fun. I wish go was in there too though ;.;

Connect five? Sweet game, never knew that was the name. Card games are always a + too.

It'll depend on the ammount of wifi if I'm to buy it.

Oh man

The dot game. Sooo many hours were spent in high school biology class playing the dot game.

This game will be a huge success, why? the casual gamers will love it for sure.

Still isnt see too bad for me, but... i prefer to use my money in other games for sure.

Wait, they did say that game was going to be budget priced right?

So i'm guessing it's along the lines of Big Brain Academy and Brain Age?

Ya know, $19.99?

Also, the japanese version didn't have WiFi play!?
That's a dissapointment for them, they better see if they can import their own game
(well, assuming it'll work on the WiFi for them ^_^'')

Nope, it's gonna be full priced (and really full priced, as Gamestop has it listed for $34.99, even though they're selling Star Fox Command and Mario Hoops for that much even though everyone else is selling them for $29.99). That does seem a little much for this type of game, and they would definitely sell more at the $19.99 price, but I guess they feel that it'll still sell enough copies for that much.

Ahh ok, well, it still seems that it'll be worth it since i'm usually at
home or at school with WiFi connections.

But the question of if ALL the games are WiFi playable,
i'm going to quote my DS catalog i picked up at Gamestop:

"Play more than 40 classic board, card, and party games alone,
or with friends near and far online via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection."

Maybe that sheds some light pertaining to which games will be
WiFi-able. Hopefully all of them haha ^_^

Thanks to Infernal, I now know about this game!

Yeah, it seems pretty steep for a bunch of casual board games, but HELL! It has SOLITAIRE MAHJONG!!! Like I'm gonna pass this up! The other games sound entertaining too, of course, but Mahjong beats them all.

It's awesome that we can actually talk to our opponents this time around. It's about damn time!

Hopefully Wal-Mart will get this game for cheap. They had a one-day sale once where I picked up Star Fox Command for less than $30 bucks :D Luckily I decided to go there on the day they had the sale.

Added to Nintendo's Wi-Fi siiiiiite. Says 37 of the games are online, which is pretty rad! If only it said WHICH ONES. It's also apparently out today in Europe, box art;

http://tothegame.com/res/game/5740/boxshot_uk_large.jpg
Why oh why does NoE have to rename nearly every DS game? =x

"Nintendogs? Naaaah, call it NintenONIONS"
"but sir it's about dogs, not onions.."
"YOU'RE FIRED"

37! That's a pretty good number ^____^
As for the name change, yea why'd they have to change it?

As for the price, i've been seeing $29.99 on most online shops.
It's even been advertised in the Toys R Us Sunday ad even though
the game isn't released yet here in the US.

I'm sure that Solitaire isn't playable via Wi-Fi. I mean, what can 2+ people do in Solitaire? Take turns helping out?!? XP

I probably would have gotten it regardless of how many of the games were online (becuase you know, I could always force my sister to play with me), but I'm definitely not complaining about 37 of them being online. I'll definitely pick this up whenever it comes out here, now.

37 out of 40some odd games is pretty darn good if you ask me. I wonder if Mahjong Solitaire is online.

So what is the European name? I can't see the image from where I am right now.

42 All-Time Classics.

They've also renamed Mario Hoops to Mario Slam, Kirby Canvas Curse to Kirby's Magic Paintbrush, Magnetica to Action Loop and Pokemon Trozei to Pokemon Link. When will the madness end!

Hmm...aside from Mario Slam, the other titles are worse than their North American counterparts. They also changed Contra to Robotector or something, didn't they?

Yeah, Probotector (which also replaced the humans with robots). Although they started keeping the Contra name with the PS2 games. =o

So this is out tomorrow, anyone else planning to purchase
this besides me?!?!

I hope the bowling is fun, i'm in the mood for some pin-knockin' ^_^

I was going to get it, but unexpected plans came up. I won't get it until November now. I hope all you guys won't stop playing it by the time I purchase it! I'm looking forward to playing some multi.

I'll probably be picking this up tomorrow. I spent a little more money than I wanted to on my MP3 player, but I still have enough to pick this up.

Will be expecting reviews.

Well, IGN has had their review up for about a week now (though it's for the European version, which is practically the same thing with a different name), and they seem to like it.

I know, but I like seeing different perspectives on things like this. IGN is one of the more eratic reviewers I find also, so another oppinion is always good.

This game got my attention just because it has some games with online feature.... Looking forward for it....

So we're all in agreement here right? This is GOTY. I mean did you know what the game they are calling "Last Card" is inactual fact UNO.
Let's just think about that for a minute. 8 player UNO online with colour pictochat.

Okami, Zelda, CoD 3, these games might as well be cancelled now.

And holy shit, 6 player online Chinese Checkers. I've never managed to convince more than one other person to play Chinese Checkers with me, now I'll be able tot ake on 5 other clowns.

Well, remember, pictochat is only if you're playing with "friends," not random people. Then it's boring old pre-set messages.

IGN at their best. They just put up a review for Clubhouse Games and gave it 8.5. But a few days ago they reviewed 42 All-Time Classics and gave it 8.0.

THEY'RE THE EXACT SAME GAME.

Jazz, you mean if you're playing VIA WiFi then you'll have to use
default preset messages???

But by friend do you mean playing it Ad-Hoc or do you mean
actually inputting a certain friend's code WiFi?

If you play via WiFi with friends codes, then you can draw things.. If you play with random strangers then it's default messages.

Nintendo doesn't want people to go "OMFG WTF BBQ asl?!?!11" while playing against stranger.

I can't pick up this game this week. I might have to wait until the end of the month! :/

Anyone want to get friend codes together for this game?

Mine is:

JazzFlight: 1461-0944-3671

I was just about to make a wiki page for this, but I see naz has already done it.

I'll still post my friend code here too, though.

Rockgamer: 4424-6218-9349

Got my $25 gift card at Circuit City just in time for this. Dominoes are a little wonky compared to what I'm used to, but fun nonetheless.

nuttyturnip: 4854-1187-5403

Playing through dominoes on Stamp Mode took FOREVER, but I think I got a proper feeling for the game by the end.

What's with Texas Hold'em having 20 hands be the default game length for multiplayer? I hope you can change that, because it's way too long (30-40 minutes).

I shall get my copy this Friday and join you all for some BOWLING!

^_____^ How are some of the other games holding up? Fun?

I just got through playing this game for like to hours with my sister, and we probably didn't even get through half the games. Still, almost every one we did get to was fun.

I actually don't like bowling too much. It seems way too easy to wind up in the gutter (in one of the games we played I went into the gutter for like 5 frames before I hit a single pin), one of the reasons being that the lane is too narrow in my opinion. Maybe I just need more practice or something, but so far I don't see myself playing that one too much.

By far, my favorite game is darts ('sup nutty). It has the perfect balance of difficulty, the wait isn't that long when playing with multiple people, and it's just fun to play. This is the one I can see myself playing the most.

As for some of the other ones:

-Grid Attack (Battleship): Another one of my favorites. It's Battleship, what else do I need to say?

-Connect Five (Connect Four): Some of these rules were way too complicated (all that 'forbidden move' crap), so unless you can change them (I haven't tried it yet), I probably won't be playing it that much (why couldn't they just make it simple like regular Connect Four).

-I Doubt You: Unfortunately I didn't get to try this out with my sister, but I had a lot of fun playing against the computer. It seems like it would be really fun if you could get a good sized group of real players (though sadly, this is one of the few non-wifi games on the card).

-Word Attack: I guess Hangman would be the best comparison for this game. I had fun with it, though most of the words seem pretty damn hard to solve, especially the shorter ones.

-Billards: The controls took some getting used to at first, but once I got the hang of it I had a blast!

We played more than just these, but I'm not gonna sit here and write about all of them (and some them don't really need a write-up, like Checkers or Blackjack). But overall, this is definitely some of the most fun I've had with my DS all year. I hope I can actually get back to my other games, because this one is addicting!

Thanks for the impressions! Can't wait 'til the 26th. I had no idea Grid Attack would be a Battleship style thing, that's cooler than Jesus breakdancing in a freezer. How is Billiards controlled exactly? Do you swipe the stylus towards the ball? I've been playing Billiard Action on DS, it's by the same developer as Clubhouse Games, but everything's done with the face buttons which is a bit.. of a wasted opportunity, I guess.

Darts is my favorite so far as well, although I've only played an hour or so, therefore I haven't tried a whole lot of the games. Spit was fun, and fast-paced, and should be fun multiplayer. I'm looking forward to trying the Uno clone (Last Card Plus) tonight.

For some reason, Spit is one of the games that isn't able to be played online.

Which sucks, because then it would be my favorite game.

Perhaps it was due to the possibility of lag messing up the results (since it's so fast paced).

Yep, you just swipe the stylus towards the ball (they have this little arrow thingy that has a line showing you where you're aiming at, which is what you use to hit the cue ball with) how hard you do it translating to how hard you hit the cue ball. It seems way easier than using the face buttons (I don't any of the games on here use the face buttons for gameplay).


I actually didn't like Spit too much, though that was probably just because I was playing the computer (who seemed way too fast for my taste). Maybe when I play against my sister I'll like it better.

I haven't played Last Card Plus yet, but I did play the regular Last Card (do they really need two almost identical games on here?), and it was kinda bland. Most people will probably just stick to Plus, since it's more closer to Uno (in the regular one, you can only put down a matching suit, not a matching number like in Uno).

But seriously, once more people get this game, we should setup a GFF Clubhouse Games tournament or something. We could vote on which games to play and stuff, and overall I think it would be a lot of fun.

Wow, every person has said good things about the game so far, so I'll look forward to getting it. I never knew there was an UNO clone though. It's just getting better and better!

How is Mahjong Solitaire like? Do you get to play the default layout with traditional tiles?

I can't give you a definitive view on it (because I don't know that much about Mahjong, aside from the few times I've played it on the computer), but I can tell you that I like what I played. I don't know if it uses traditional tiles for sure, but I think it does since they have flowers, dots, japanese characters, and stuff like that on them.

My only complaint is that some of the tile matches weren't exact (i.e. one of the matches was just two types of flowers, not the exact same flowers), which was a bit confusing (and resulted in me using a hint). But now that I know that, it shouldn't be a problem anymore.

That sure sounds like it, but just to be sure, here is an that shows the traditional layout with the traditional tile set.

http://www.mahjong-solitaire.ws/mahj...e/shanghai.jpg

Only the special tiles (flowers and seasons, 4 tiles each, 16 altogether) can be removed interchangeably. You'll get the hang of it if you play it enough. I only like playing with the traditional tiles 'cause they're nice to look at. I'd be disappointed if Clubhouse Games doesn't have this option.

Yep, those are definitely the ones featured in the game, they're just not as detailed as the ones in that pic (for example, the flowers aren't colored in, it's just the outline of them).

And thanks for telling me about those tiles. Now they make sense to me (I guess I could have just read the rules (which seem to be pretty detailed for every game), but it slipped my mind at the time).

Thanks for letting me know that the game uses traditional tiles, but you didn't mention anything about the layout. Is it like the one in the pic, or something else? I tend to like only that layout. Yes, I'm picky when it comes to Mahjong Solitaire :D

Well, they have 10 different layouts, but unfortunately none of them are like the one in the pic (I don't think any of them are even close to the one in that pic). They do have a good variety between the ones that are there though (one of them even spells out the letters 'DS'), so maybe you'll find at least one you'll like.

Aww well that's disappointing. I haven't heard of any related game that didn't have the traditional layout. Shame on whoever made this game! I find other layouts to be harder than the original one. Oh well, That's not a total loss. At least they kept the original tileset. I'd be pissed otherwise if they just had numbers or some other crappy set.

Regardless, there's over 35 other games I can sink my teeth into, like UNO. That game rocks, and it's multiplayer too. Awesome.

I gotta say, I liked playing through the Mahjong Solitaire on Stamp Mode.

At first, I failed 2 playthroughs of the Solitaire because I was just matching up random pairs. Then I realized you had to be strategic, matching only the pairs that would open up the rest of the pieces to be used (ex: making sure to get rid of top-most pieces first).

Picked this up today. Wow, the computer is awful at texas hold'em (of course that's the first game I check out).

Anyway, ready for some Nintendo Wifi orgies whenever. My friend code is 4424-6230-7751, and I'll put that on the wiki too.

Just got the game today! Like it so far! ^___^

Friend's code - 0816 8518 2660 [DjMeas] (updated)

Hope to see you guys on!

This game is hawt, I <3 bowling so much. 160 is my top score so far, but I'm confident I can beat that. The rest of it is pretty awesome too =D

I find bowling rough because i can bowl better in real life lol ^_^''''

Balance is really fun on long games!

Can I get a list of which games are online? I might pick it up if enough people are playing it, but for the single player, I havn't really picked up my DS for single play games in a while. Its all Wifi for me.

Or, you know...we could just organize a tournament here...with people we actually know and stuff...

Ahahaha, well I got this game the other day. So far so good. Of course I just bought it so I could play Solitare for hours on my DS.

Friend code: 4038-1044-1133

Awesome game, wot!

Here's my friend code! Yay!

3136 1613 3431

Update: I'm a little upset that Mahjong Solitaire basically tells you what tiles are removable. I'd like to find that out for myself, thank you very much. I still play it though. I love this game.

Here's my friend code for those who didn't see it on the other thread.

0816 8733 2511

EDIT: Couldn't add my code to GFWiki because I couldn't create an account. :/

I added the information for you. Enjoy!

Thanks! :)

Yeah, the GFwiki admin closed new account creations because of abuse not done by me.

Anyway.. Oooooooooo AWESOME. New player! We had 7 last night when we played. You'd be 8. Can't wait for it to be OLDK again! :p

Ha, how did I miss this thread?
Well I got this game a couple weeks ago to help pass the time inbetween classes. Nice game though, I particularly enjoy darts =)

Sounds like you guys have a full house but just incase here's my friend code:
1632-9233-3755

When the game starts just go into the options tab and turn off "hints." That should do the trick.

@Kairyu: OMG THANK YOU!!!! It's stupid to have the hints turned on for this game.

I'll add you soon!
