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

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!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

I was speaking idiomatically.

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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!

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
