I'm not sure why nowhere seems to list this as shortly incoming, but this looked pretty spiffy to me as somebody that got introduced, and hooked, to the few variations of this in Clubhouse Games on the DS.

Anybody else taking the plunge?

Turns out this is actually pretty decent.  Wii mote controls perfectly fine.   There is an unusually robust soundtrack for the game consisting of 30odd tracks, some remind me of a "classic SEGA game" feel whereas another strongly reminds me of Earthbound for some reason---runs a gambit of genres and I suspect all of the make for decent easy listening.

Challenge wise it took be about 2 and a half hours to clear the first Mahjong board....so with there then being 100 more...then the 101 solitaires....then the matching games and such,  I darersay that's $30 worth of value from the now bought out Crave Entertainment.

Give this a shot people!

Why would I want to spend 30 dollars on Solitaire and Mahjong when they are freeware PC games or if I really wanted to I could drop 20 dollars on club house games for the DS which has both and a bunch of other games.

Well, in my case, I first got a taste of the Mahjong game from Clubhouse Games on the DS.  So considering it had only a handful of variants versus this one having scores of them, it felt like a natural move.  In terms of Mahjong alone, and maybe Solitaire too but I've not dabbled in it yet, this package trumps Clubhouse Games and I don't know of any other one available for Wii, DS, etc that this is inferior to.  Plus, supporting niche Wii games that are well made and all that.  I have a sneaking suspicion that this won't be a title that'll stay at full price very long either, unless Crave being bought out shortly after the game shipped complicates matters somehow.

This just makes for a nice, yet different, kind of Wii game out of all the other Wii games out there at this point.  Plus the music is actually well done to the point where I'm wondering if there's an OST out there somewhere for it.
