Overall, the game is fairly simple, and while most of the mini-games are some what decent, they aren't memorable and there is nothing there to keep you coming back to play them again and again.

Nintendo Life - One hundred and one games. It's a tempting proposition isn't it? It's unlikely that as an average consumer you will play, let alone purchase, one hundred and one games in a whole year, so when Nordcurrent comes a-knockin' at your door and offers you exactly that many titles for the low, low price of 700 Points, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a Billy Bargain.

Each game can be played individually on a single Nintendo DS, and if you have a friend with a DS system and a copy of the game, you can play against each other via a local wireless connection. Though most of the games are easily learned via trial-and-error, you can read a text description of each from the menu screen, including details on how to play the game".
