Ninetendo DS Offers Texas Hold’Em Poker
Everyone, it seems, is in a rush to capitalize on the poker and Texas Hold’em craze before the train leaves the station, and Majesco just bought a ticket. They recently release a casino game for the Ninendo hand held, the DS (Dual Screen), called Golden Nugget Casino, that did not seem to have much effort put behind it. Their latest release, Texas Hold’em Poker DS, fares a little better, with most of the basic rules and nuances of the ultra popular poker game intact.
Borrowing a page from many online poker rooms, some features, such as the ability to check and make other decisions while in hand and waiting for your turn, show the extra effort put in by the folks at Majesco, but there are no super bells and whistles to take this game to the next level…
