\"\"<\/a>This past week I\u2019ve run through all 51 games in the new Clubhouse Games for Nintendo Switch.\u00a0 So today I\u2019m going to do a wrap up with links to all the articles I\u2019ve written as well as my overall general impressions.\u00a0 So let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\n

You know what\u2019s interesting is that this isn\u2019t the first Clubhouse Games Nintendo has released.\u00a0 Back on the DS in 2006, they released the first Clubhouse Games with about 41 different card and board games on it.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know why I didn\u2019t get that one, but it may have something to do that when it was released, I had just lost my job at the church and was probably limiting my gaming purchases.\u00a0 Or I could\u2019ve been knee-deep in Okami at the time, too.\u00a0 At any rate, it was only 20 bucks so I guess it just slipped under the cracks for me.\u00a0 Plus the Switch version just seems more appealing and now that I have it, the DS version doesn\u2019t seem necessary anymore.\u00a0 Anyway, since there are so many games on the Switch version, I split them up into three parts: Board Games, Card Games, and Misc. Games.\u00a0 So here are links to those articles.\u00a0 Please read them if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n

Board Games<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Here I covered board games like off-brand Yahtzee and Connect Four, as well as Checkers, Chess, Dominoes, Backgammon, Chinese Checkers, and many more!\u00a0 It\u2019s too bad they couldn\u2019t add Nintendo characters to some of the games. I\u2019ve seen Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong versions of Yahtzee and Chess, too bad they couldn\u2019t put them in here.\u00a0 Seems like a missed opportunity.<\/p>\n

Card Games<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the card games you get here include Blackjack, Texas Hold \u2018Em, Speed, and War, as well as a memory matching game and variations on solitaire and Mahjong.\u00a0 You can even play Hanafuda, which is a Japanese card game and is how Nintendo started out over a hundred years ago!\u00a0 You can even unlock Mario versions of cards to play in Hanafuda, memory matching, and other card games.\u00a0 I wish you could unlock cards with other Nintendo characters as well, like Zelda or Kirby.<\/p>\n

Misc. Games<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

And last are the games that are neither board nor card games.\u00a0 Some include parlor games like pool or billiards, which others are toy versions of sports games like Soccer, Baseball, Boxing, and more.\u00a0 I like how the golf game use the same courses found in NES Golf and also on Wii Sports.\u00a0 NES Golf is one of the few NES games I could get my dad to play, and did you know that Satoru Iwata programmed it?\u00a0 Some of the games, like slot cars, fishing, tanks, and piano let you connect more than one Switch screen together for a bigger playfield!\u00a0 Very neat!<\/p>\n

And those are all the games!\u00a0 When you start you get to create your own profile and can even select games to recommend to others that you like.\u00a0 You can also view other people\u2019s profiles and records and recommendations online, or view ones the CPU provides for you.\u00a0 You can view all of these on a globe, and select your location, too.\u00a0 You can play the games with others online and locally as well.\u00a0 It\u2019s a bit more casual, but I like casual games and enjoy it when Nintendo does stuff like that.\u00a0 The game is only 30 to 40 bucks, so I think it\u2019s great for the whole family.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics is rated E for Everyone with ESRB descriptors of Mild Cartoon Violence and Simulated Gambling.\u00a0 You do blow up toy tanks in one game, and can bet chips in some of the poker titles.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, but there are games for all ages.\u00a0 You and your family may even learn about new games from other countries as you play, so it\u2019s certainly educational, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
