Mini-Game Arcade Excitement

With the past few years, mini-games have been very popular for the Nintendo systems like the recently-departed Gamecube, the Wii and the Nintendo DS. While games like Mario Party and Wario Ware have maintained their success from Nintendo, there have been some great surprises that have also hit the nail on the head. Games like Brain Age, and Clubhouse Games really surprised DS owners young and old. Midway has also know that feeling in the arcades. With their Touchmaster arcade franchise, it really hit the nail on the head, and how game you played those games, that have also brought out what the Nintendo DS has made in great games. Now, this great series finally makes it to the Nintendo DS, but does it click like it did before?

Touchmaster for the Nintendo DS, takes on what gamers of all ages, by bringing out over twenty great games that've been fun and enjoyable from the great series. The games are fun and enjoyable, as a great delight that spins quite nicely as a compliment from other Nintendo DS mini game compilations. The collection includes great games that really are simple and fun reflecting puzzle games like Mahki, a spinoff from the Super Collapse internet games, the traditional word search, 5 star general, where you roll 5 dice bocks and try to match your way hands like a full house or a straight, and 5 of a kind as fast as you can, but only used once inorder to score points. There also are great card games like 3 peak deluxe, a high-low game where you have to eliminate cards from your peaks to score points, and double take where you have to elimate a group of cards that are either a pair, or in consecutive order in two's like 7 and then 8. The graphics and the gameplay are simple & just as delightful as you've played from the arcade series. The game also works great with Nintendo's WI-FI connection too, where you can try to score your best score possible against others online, and through Midway's Tournament Network.

All in all, Touchmaster is a great buy for anyone who owns the Nintendo DS. I loved playing these games in my local pool hall, and they still are just as fun & exciting as they were developed years ago. If you've played Clubhouse Games, you'll definitely want to give Touchmaster a try. It really is fun & brings great variety to gamers everywhere. Touch and go on with the fun.

Touchmaster for the DS does just what it's title implies; it's a collection of various mini-games that take advantage of the touch screen and stylus, and are incredibly simple to get a hang of. Touchmaster features 23 mini-games involving cards, trivia, and puzzlers to boot, including takes of Yahtzee, solitare, mahjong, and more. While the games are fun, simple to pick up and play, and all take advantage of the DS' unique capabilities, there ultimately isn't enough here to hold your long term interests. Nintendo's own Clubhouse Games is a much better investment than Touchmaster, and features a wider variety of games to pick and are more fun as well. That aside, there's nothing really bad about Touchmaster at all. The game offers Wi-Fi support as well for posting high scores, which is a nice small bonus hampered by a sloppy interface. All in all, Touchmaster is a fine, quick collection of mini-games that take advantage of the DS' capabilities, and is a fine pick up if that's what you want, but if you desire something like this only put together a little better, check out Clubhouse Games instead.

I have always been addicted to bartop touchscreen games. The Touchmaster series being my fave!

So, naturally I bought Touchmaster for the DS. It's menu set up is like the bartop games.. pretty simple & straight forward. Includes 23 games, so you're bound to find favorites.

Overall, I think the game is a great value, addictive and distracting, and I don't have to worry about quarters!

Touch Master for Nintendo DS

There isn't too much available for in the games arena for an adult user of the Nintendo DS, so when I saw Touch Master, I thought I would give it a try. It's addictive! My favotites games Mahki, Crystal Balls, Mah Jong Pairs and Pairs. The card games include classic solitaire and a version of Freecell called PowerCell. The only problem with the Solitaire and Powercell games is the cards are very small and it is difficult to see the suits. Otherwise, this is a great choice for adult gamers.

Hours of fun!

I'm from the older generation and want to play simple games that don't take hours and hours to play. This is just the game I was looking for! My fiancee and I constantly try to beat the other with so many different games to choose from. I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to play quick games and not have to committ to a big block of time to play.

Fun touch screen games.

Nice touch screen games, some are old. Only a few stand out but the others are still fun to play.
