They say variety is the spice of life - well, prepare yourself for the hottest collection of games you could ever wish for.

42 All-Time Classics - coming to Nintendo DS on September 29 - packs all your favourite board, card and parlour games into one crammed game card.

The latest title in Nintendo's innovative Touch! Generations range, 42 All-Time Classics does away with cumbersome boards and packs of cards. Instead it combines the Nintendo DS's innovative touch screen control mechanism with 42 of the most popular games ever invented; ranging from card classics like Poker and Texas Hold 'Em, board games such as Chess and Backgammon to bar games like Darts and Snooker.

On top of the huge variety of single player content, this game features a multiplayer mode allowing you to play fun games with your family as well as competing with friends. Play with up to seven friends via the Nintendo DS local wireless network, or connect with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service to challenge people from different towns or even different countries for the majority of the games within this title. All the games in 42 All-Time Classics feature a stats tracking function, allowing you to view your wins and losses as well as other statistics for each game.

42 All-Time Classics features a built-in "PictoChat" function, which allows players to send and receive messages while playing. Now not only can you play Poker against friends, but you can psyche them out too by bluffing about your hand!

Each of the games features full instructions and rules which you can refer to at any time, so 42 All-Time Classics also makes for a fun way to learn how to play some of the world's most well-known card and board games.

42 All-Time Classics goes on sale from September 29 for only £20 (estimated retail price) which amounts to only about 50p per game!

Stay tuned for more info coming soon.

I'd say it's going to be huge, especially if the game mode is decent, there's screens and ingame video's here

Sounds cool - there's a WP article listing most the games too. It's nice they seem to be keeping the Japanese games in it too (Hanafuda, Gomoku, etc.) - maybe I can finally learn how the hell to play them!
