Topic: Family Card Games

@KS8: no prob. Thanks for playing me.
By the way, sometimes i'd choose an emotion and it'd do something i didn't expect.

Yeah, like the heart one.
By the way, nice job on getting a Cutting Eights Revolution. I also like how the backgrounds change when a Revolution is initiated.

Sounds like you two have played the game already, so how is it? Is it the best Family game so far in your opinion?

One of the best? Yes. The best? No. I personally have this, Tennis, Mini Golf and Pirate Party and those four are probably the highlights of the series IMO. I'd place Tennis 4th, and this would probably come in 3rd if that helps give you an idea.

(edit: Oh right, I also have Table Tennis which was a gift ages ago. Worst one.)

And before any questions come up, online works fine. No game-breaking issues so far (they had problems when the JP release first was released then it had to be delayed so they could patch stuff up). Only thing that happened to me was when my Internet kinked out while it was searching for an opponent, the game pretty much froze except the music was still going.

Cheetahman: I've never played the others, But I did like playing this online. I think I might like it better than texas holdem.

Really, longtimegamer? Why's that, just out of curiousity? Do you feel that purchasing THEP was a mistake, considering this was 500?

So it's not a bad game huh. Well I think this'll do the series some justice with it's online play. I also agree that Table Tennis is awful.

KS8: No because they are 2 different types of card games, BUT this looks way better for one, I think it's more exciting gameplaywise (also, i like the "Super pictures" when you do certain special moves. I think there is more freedom in how you can choose to play a hand in this too. also dif backgrounds and dif music. (I seemed to like "at least" one track. Don't remember if was more.) I also liked when they changed the scenes on the "power moves <that's what i'm calling them fir now>)
The THT had ugly characters (unless you used miis) and it was really buggy.

*Edit: I still liked playing THT when I got it. I wish it weren't so buggy, though some really weird WTF things would happen that were kind of interesting, but either halted the game for awhile or stopped it long enough to make you want to quit. Waiting to get the people needed to play could take awhile and sometimes when you got them all it'd "reset?" to finding people again. Plus I'm not sure it didn't mess with my wii (It started getting corrupt file warnings).
I had thought of getting the othe Texas hold'em game at one time.*

Yes, online play is a big deal here. It's for that reason alone that if they DO decide to develop more Family games (I'd love to see Family Soccer! lol), I'll be more hopeful. Plus, Family Tennis made some notable improvements in the presentation aspects the series has become known for.

Yeah, LTG, I like the Special Revolution moves as well. I still wish I could play Speed online.

@KS8: I wonder if you could play that speed one in friend mode?*

Doubt it. On the Main Menu, it says "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Daifugo". Thanks for the idea though.

Eh. oh well.

I just played against a maggie. I wonder if it's our Maggie from here?

So anyone want to play online?

I can't play again till like Friday but if anything changes I'll let you know.

Well that sucks. Thanks anyways. Wonder who the review is? Maybe he or she can play me. They have to test online.

There are some things that I don't like about this game. There's a leaderboard for online games, but offline games don't appear to have leaderboards.
Also, you have unlockable backgrounds and frames BUT, you apparently anly can earn them through the online game. That sucks if you can't get someone online.

I looked up Daifugo on Wikipedia, and it's the same (or at least very close) to my favorite card game, Scum. Now I'm very interested in this game. I'll get it if it gets a decent review.

So it turns out you are getting it after all, hm? Feel free to organize a match with us when you're free.

@longtimegamer, I may have a small window of opportunity today. Interested?

yea. sure.

Move that possibility to today instead.
