Well, today, we finally got in one of the third party games I'd been looking for. It's the three pack of Uno, Skip-Bo and Uno FreeFall (it appears to be some kind of Uno-based puzzlesque game). I'd come to terms with the fact that this game isn't a part of the Wi-Fi connection - in spite of the fact that it should have been. However, when we got it in stock today, I was checking it out... and there's no single-card download play! What the heck? I guess it was nice of them to at least put multi-player in there at all...

Sounds like you don't want to do business with third parties.
Also, that uno games pales in comparison to Club House Games.

Pheonix Wright has always sounded like the kind of game I'd like, but there's always something I'd rather spend money on when I see it. Never been a big Castlevania fan. Truama Center... just not my kind of game... EBA's published by Nintendo, so I don't count it.
Anywhoo, I really wanted this pack for Skip Bo...

Exactly.
When you combine this with companies like Square Enix not having an online option for FF:CC, ya really have to wonder what they're thinking...
I can understand not having single card download play for something big and complicated, but, seriously, what's the excuse for not having it in Uno/SkipBo?

I've played on Nintendo Wi-fi connection maybe a dozen times (with Mario Kart, before random matches stopped being fun because of snaking). I've played local multiplayer twice, both times just to see what it was like. It has absolutely no influence over my purchasing decisions.
As far as online goes, the dearth of 3rd party games supporting the WiFi Connection makes me think that it's either really difficult make it work, really expensive, or both.

No. They are as grossed out by your nipple as the rest of us.

May I recommend Elf Bowling and King Kong? =)

Zoo Keeper I picked up for $1.50 on clearance at a K-Mart. It's probably the best of the three.
Bubble Bobble I picked up *after* the discovery about the bug came out, just for kicks...

Scored a copy of Monopoly/Boggle/Yahtzee/Battleship.
I'd like to mention that, not only does it have DS Single Card Download Play on Battleship and Boggle, but it has "Hot Seat" play for all four games. Sweet. (not sure why Yahtzee couldn't be single card download play, but 'eh.)

Anywhoo, I just read a post on another forum saying that the Uno/Skip-Bo cart does allow single card download play. Now I'm pissed I have to try and track down a cart because they decided not to put it on the back of the package.

And to answer the question of the title of this thread: No. They want Kairon's business.

But now even here in Monopoly DS success land, it's hard to find.

On another note, I've confirmed with someone who does own the U/SB/UFF cart that it does *not* have single card download play. So, I guess I don't have to get it now...

When I play Monopoly, I try to get the Get Out of Jail Free cards. No reason, it's just something I do. I'll buy them from other players for twice their value (i.e.: $100), get them in trades and keep them when I do get them, paying to get out of jail instead.
So, I do the same think when playing this game. Except, occaisonally, when a player lands on Chance/Community Chest, they'll draw the Get out of Jail Free card even though I've got it and have never used it. Then, I lose it (unless, of course, it was I who landed on that space and drew the card...). It also annoys me that I can't buy/trade for this card from other players.
Anywhoo, speaking of DS games we'd like to see, I agree that a good Risk game on the DS (with Wi-Fi, of course) could be a good seller. Personally, I want Stratego on the DS. A lot.

Why are you bumping another old thread?
Well, I broke down and got two copies of Uno/Skip-Bo. Go me.

I guess this explains why single-card multiplayer mode wasn't included, because that way they got you to buy more than one copy of the game.

No DLC + No Online Play + No World Tour + Just as expensive as other versions with all this stuff = NO BUY.
