If you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend going out and dropping $35 on Clubhouse Games for the DS. I picked this sucker up a few weeks ago and it hasn’t left the system since. Not physically, anyway.

You see, Clubhouse Games actually lets you game share any multiplayer game locally. I tried it first hand this weekend, sharing the game to two other DS systems and playing the different multiplayer gametypes. We were playing for hours and while many of the games lack the fit and finish of many Nintendo titles I’ve played, they all successfully complete a robust package of 42 different casual games.

While it’s not something the average gamer will spend much time with alone, Clubhouse Games is a worthy addition to anyone who happens to have some friendly DS players nearby. Online play is also included for many of the titles, unfortunately without any kind of voice chat or even the ability to type in your own messages will make it feel like you’re playing against AI.
