\"\"<\/a>Lucky Luke is a popular European comic series.\u00a0 Despite being set in the American Wild West, it\u2019s relatively obscure here in the States.\u00a0 The only other time I\u2019ve ever seen it before was a few other video game releases.\u00a0 And now you can have a Lucky Luke desktop clock on your Switch.\u00a0 Does anybody really use their Switch as a clock?\u00a0 Well, this also has a little mini-game in it, so maybe they\u2019re going for a modern Game & Watch motif.<\/p>\n

You have two different choices of backgrounds for the clock.\u00a0 One where Lucky Luke is riding towards the screen on his horse, or one where he is setting up camp.\u00a0 You can also choose to have three different sizes of analog clocks, or one digital clock.\u00a0 I like the digital one better because the analog ones have a ticking sound in the background that gets annoying after a while.<\/p>\n

You can also play a simple Game & Watch style mini-game.\u00a0 In fact, it really reminds me of the G&W game \u201cEgg.\u201d\u00a0 You use four buttons to hold barrels at different positions so you can douse dynamite being thrown to blow up safes.\u00a0 Miss three times and you lose.\u00a0 It\u2019s not really that great of a game, though.<\/p>\n

My other main problem with the game is that the menu for setting up the clock is confusing and I couldn\u2019t get the alarm to go off.\u00a0 Supposedly the alarm shows a scene where Lucky Luke has a standoff with the Dalton gang, but I couldn\u2019t figure out how to get it to work.\u00a0 I know I\u2019m not good with fiddly menus, but I figured out how to use my Nintendo Alarmo so you\u2019d think I could do this, too.\u00a0 I think the only people who will appreciate this application are die hard Lucky Luke fans.<\/p>\n

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

Nothing violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 You\u2019d think they\u2019d have opportunities for some cartoon violence with the dynamite mini-game, but it\u2019s just used to blow up safes with gold in them and that\u2019s it.\u00a0 Some may not like that there are Native Americans sneaking up and creeping away from Lucky Luke in the camping scene, but I didn\u2019t think it was that bad.\u00a0 Lucky Luke Clock is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
