There is CURLING on the DS. It's called "Curling DS" (The sport, not the hairstyle)

BTP

WTF?!

I just saw this thing in a Zellers about an hour ago. This must be a Canadian only game because there is a red maple leaf in the "D" in "DS"

I couldn't see anything about the thing other than it has Ubisoft's logo.

I can't find more info on it either. Google has nothing. IGN has nothing. Wikipedia has nothing.

Surely someone here knows something about this.....right?

Edit on Nov. 21: Here's the phone pic I took a few days ago. So yes, this thing DOES EXIST!



Big thanks to schlew for helping me out! :^:

Pata

Buy it and show it to us.

Icemopper

This is what I could find after a quick google search

BTP

Yeah, me too. There was a curling game in Japan, but I have no way of knowing if this is the same thing.

And I'm not going to buy a game based on zero information

Rent, maybe.

taliosfalcon

Well, we do know its curling and thus that we should stay the fuck away

Cantido

Can you every really know whats going on in Curling?

BlueBlue

Does this have a DS subtitle? Like, Curling: Delivery Stick?

Cyvros

For your perusal, here's the back cover of the Japanese box:



There's multiplayer mode. I and all my DS-wielding friends need to get this. I have always wanted to learn curling.

In multiplayer does one guy get to be the throwy guy and the other guy get to be the brushy guy? I've always wanted to be the brushy guy!

And then the throwy guy can hell "HAAAAAAAAAAARD" into the microphone for added effectiveness.

:winky:

Sir Platypus

So is this the sport Curling, or the act of curling hair/mustaches?

Guess which one I would purchase.

The former.

Although I thought the OP was talking about some kind of freaky hardware problem when I saw the thread title.

Never expected this, so....title change!

So we're still not sure, aside from the Japanese boxart of potentially the same game?

The latter.

Handlebar mustaches are overpowered.

Oh God, this just sold me on buying a ds.

In multiplayer mode one of you has to yell "HAAAAAARD" and the other yells "WHOAAAHHHHHH".

GOTY!

I am concerned by the assertion that Curling is a sport.

Syd Lexia

Why wasn't this a game sooner?

And why isn't there a proctology game yet?

SUCCESSFUL PROBE! NICE WIN!

Curling better come out for the Wii. It's even got a built in sweeping minigame!

Mr. G

Excuse me, I believe curling hair was recognized as an Olympic sport. The topic title offends me, and I will be discussing my options with a lawyer if it remains unchanged.

Maybe there are some things I'm glad we didn't do in Trauma Center. :P

So, anyone lucky enough to find more info? I checked out the websites of Toys R Us, Future Shop, Walmart, and Zellers, and they don't have it listed at all.

Oh, and redraptor, can you dare yourself to try it?

I'm fairly sure curling hair is more of a sport than Canadian curling.

Curling is awesome and those dismissing it out of hand are dumb and stupid and probably poor or something.

I had an eighth grade science trip in which we went curling because we were studying friction at the time. Best field trip ever.

DeadlySherpa

I am deeply offended by the insinuations in this thread about the implication that curling may not be a globally recognized sporting event. I am currently writing a letter to my m.p. in parliment who will get right on to this issue and raise awareness of curling so that it is recognized fully by lesser countries.

Lesser countries than Canada?


So like.



North canada?

SirUltimos

I work at a Zellers and saw that game today. I had pretty much the same reaction as you.

No man, even in Canada you don't see anyone under 70 curling. If you wander into a curling rink by accident there's more dentures and walkers than if you'd wandered into a mall at 11 am on a Monday. It's some serious night of the living dead shit

nefffffffffff

My high-school here in Seattle had a curling team. We were called "the Northwest School Angry Alpacas."

Sad but true.

<- Used to curl

This game looks fun though. It definitely needs mic support though. As if my family didn't want to disown me already. "SWEEP HARD HARD HARD woah WOOOAHHHH"

chasehatesbears

North of our civilized borders, there lay a barbaric, frozen wasteland.

Its inhabitants live underground, forever engaged in vicious bloodsport.

This isn't a game.

This is motherfucking curling.

So you've actually curled by "accident" before?

You slipped, fell and swept a bunch of ice?

I'm on to you!

Oh shit I want this game. Curling is fucking awesome. Those dudes yell so much.

This just made me think of an awesome sport. Urban curling! One of you is the pushy guy and one is the brushy guy. See, you wait for a really icy day, and hide in the bushes, waiting for someone to walk down the street. Then you jump out and curl the fuck out of them.

deadonthestreet

I'd buy a curling game at $20.

Curling is great.

Dodge Aspen

Curling is fun, but it's really fucking hard. The reason why so many old people play it is because it's damn near impossible to get the proper throwing weight down without hours and hours of experience. Also, sweeping the shit out of ice like that is damn tough. When I played high school basketball, I got winded trying to sweep for an entire game of curling.

I do remember there was a curling event in one of the older Olympic games. Nagano I think. Might have been for the original Playstation?

Lord Jezo

mmm.. curling chicks.

I was on the Rutgers club team here in NJ back in college. We went to the college national championship in Wisconsin. Curling might just be an excuse for people to drink because after every match the winner buys the losers a beer.
