This is a capture of me playing the Billiards 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 with a 9-ball rule set. 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 Billiards mode. Just like Wii Play, this game's billiards mode only features 9-ball, which to me is odd since 8-ball always seemed to be the more popular game when I was growing up. This mode features a top-down view instead of 3D graphics and uses the touch screen to hit the cue ball. It's a fun but sometimes very short mode. Recorded with OBS Studio at 60 frames per second. I'm using a New 3DS XL.
