Reception[]

Despite how well known this game seems to be, there aren't many public or critic rating and reviews for it. Public reception seems above average with 3.4/5 on GameFAQs with 21% 5 star ratings. Jeux Video showed a public rating of 12.2/20.

Critics also gave it an above average score. Cubed3 gave it a 6/10 stating "1001 Touch Games may not quite live up to expectations, featuring watered-down editions of many much-loved gaming styles, but at a low price-point it definitely carries enough weight to push extremely weak DS puzzle releases down far enough to warrant some attention from DS owners.".

A french critic for Jeux Video gave it a 10/20 stating "Not unpleasant overall and offering great classics that have been delighting young and old alike for years, 1001 Fun Games had arguments to make. However, the price charged does not plead in favor of a title which will content itself with piling up mini-games accessible for free almost everywhere on the Net" (Google Translated).

Despite the lack of reviews and ratings the game sold well for a game of its kind with 0.31 million sales in total, most sales coming from Europe.
