Clubhouse Games (Direct DS Capture) - Bowling
This is a capture of me playing the Bowling game mode in Clubhouse Games for the DS. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my New 3DS XL using the aftermarket capture kit manufactured by Katsukity and installed/sold by Merki. I'm playing against a CPU opponent in Free Play mode on normal difficulty.
I decided to replace my old footage of this game to get rid of the annoying stuttering issue from before. This new footage should also be sharper. I won't be posting all of the games in this collection since I don't know how to play all of them, but I will be posting my favorites to show what this title is like.
Clubhouse Games was originally released for the DS in late 2006 under the "Touch Generations" label and actually featured online multiplayer through the Wi-Fi Connection. I didn't pick up my copy of the game until 2010 when I was looking for a pick-up-and-play title to help pass the time during my first trip to Japan. I was ultimately quite impressed with the game and even got the chance to play some online matches of the various games until the Wi-Fi Connection was shut down in 2014.
Clubhouse Games is a compilation of various card and tabletop games, including recreational games such as darts and bowling, as well as some interesting oddities such as shaking up soda bottles. The game makes great use of the touch screen and has excellent pacing since it moves things along fairly quickly. The music isn't bad either. My one complaint, however, is that certain games must be unlocked through the stamp mode, which is stupid.
In this video I'm playing the Bowling mode. This is a simplistic but fun version of bowling where you toss the ball by sliding it on the touch screen. I don't think there's a way to throw a curve ball, so I just focus on sliding the stylus as straight as possible. While this isn't nearly as fun as Wii Sports, I find it to be far more challenging. You'll see that I didn't score nearly as high as I did in my Wii Sports bowling videos.
