As you'd probably figured out from the game's name, Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics features 51 classic tabletop games from all around the world. Except, that's not quite true.
You see, Nintendo's official Japanese website has revealed that, actually, there will be a bonus 52nd game. It's called 'Piano', and has been treated to this short trailer:
Imagery on the site reveals that it'll include support for up to four players, and a rough Google translation notes that it acts as "a short break". Only one octave of the piano can be seen in the video, so it might only allow for very basic songs, but it looks like this could well be a way for multiple players to make up little tunes together.
It has also recently been revealed that the game will feature a number of Super Mario cameos, as well as a cute little nod to NES title, Golf.
Excited to get your hands on this one? Remember, this Nintendo-published title launches on 5th June.

I’m willing to give this one a go. Any word if it has online play?
The game that keeps on giving!
@VR32X online is confirmed in the original trailer
This will be very interesting. I'm curious about what kinds of songs that can be played on that. Even if it's not the right octave, imagine something like Undertale's Megalovania being played.
I thought it'd be Corona Virus.
I watched the previous Japanese trailer as well as the almost 1 hour long overview trailer a week ago so. It was fun to listen to as I'm currently studying Japanese. I was able to understand some jokes here and there but I still have long ways to go. This was shown there as well. In fact, this trailer is just a snippet from the overview trailer.
4 players on one system only? Or is local wireless also included?
@TheJosdude Thank you. I couldn’t remember. I wasn’t interested in this at first, but now its growing on me.
@VR32X It has online play in 44 of the 51 games. The only games not to have online are the 4 single player games as well as Fishing, Slot Cars and Team Tanks.
@DTfeartheBEARD Local wireless play up for up to 4 players and only one copy of the game is needed. Plus some of the games make use of multiple Switch's positioned together, similar to Mario Party. For example, in Slot Cars you can place 4 Switch together in a variety of positions to create a larger custom track. Or you can create a larger river for fishing.
I am interested. I guess $40 isn’t too high of a price. I may wait, though, for a digital sale.
Fourth house in Fire Emblem Three Houses, 52nd game in 51 Clubhouse Games... this is why I have trust issues!😠😉😆
Already preordered a physical copy of thos. Love tabletop games
Wow I love game titles that are also lies, sold!
This needs Crokinole
THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING! 52 GAMES IS TOO MANY! /s
Seriously though, I may get this for Riichi Mahjong alone. One of my guilty pleasures from playing the Yakuza series although I suck at it.
I'm waiting for them to overprice this game . If it's 30 bucks i might grab it though.
@OorWullie @dtfearthebeard yea!
Also I think Gamexplain said this Piano game also makes use of placing switches together to extend the piano. Pretty cool. Wish more games were integrating that feature.
@dougphisig It's 40€ in Europe. Haven't checked US eShop to see if it's listed there but I'd guess it's 40 as well.
I guess if they're not too fussed about the game title being accurate there could be DLC packs of extra games.
@OorWullie @neogyo thanks for the information. Looks like I'll be picking this up. And only one copy of the game is required for local wireless play, that makes it even better.
Man, I'm tempted to get the US version, just because the title is so much better than the European one. I mean... "Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics" vs "51 Worldwide Games"...
Gamexplain had a good breakdown of features and online. It supports online with most games but solo games, some of the multi switch games like fishing and team tanks =(
Look out action 52.
I know, mayonnaise is not an instrument. But is piano a game? 🤔
Edit: OF COURSE, PIANO IS A GAME!
I mean, who doesn't remember the times you were home alone at the weekend and called some friends: "Hey, guys! You wanna come over, eat Pizza and have some drinks? I also have a new piano song, we can play it together." 😆😆😆
This is exactly what I have been looking for, the kind of multiplayer that I could play with anyone, even my parents.
@SwitchplayerJohn fishing and team tanks would've been excellent fun online.
What on earth was going on in that trailer xD
What kind of false advertising is this?! 0/10, I expected better of you Nintendo! >
Jokes aside, it does seem more like something you would take a break and mess around with, rather than a full game, so it's technically true that there are 51 games.
Everyone knows every Nintendo handheld must have a game with a miniature piano to toy around with.
I'm pretty keen on this, and with multiplayer it seems like it could provide a whole lot of fun!
@dougphisig it's $40, which I would not consider overpriced personally, although some may disagree.
Getting nearer to release, sounds like it's shaping up to be a good collection of games...
I feel lied to Nintendium. I was feeling really ecstatic to get myself immersed in the multilayered worlds of 51 clubhouse games and you ruined it. There is a 52nd... You betrayed ME* Nintendium as you broken MY* trust and the MANY OTHERS* that believed in you. This isnt Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, this is a WORLDWIDE* slander to all clubhouse game collections out there. I hope they burn in the sweltering heat of my mothers basement.
Pre ordered this on the eshop because it has mancala, nine mens morris and some other games that I can't seem to find. Sure their are apps but they all seem like shady spyware filled ad messes. Honestly the more I keep hearing about it the more I feel like its gonna be just what I wanted. A easy way to play my favorite board games without having the actual boards (or spammy apps) all in one place. Seeing as my living situation means my storage space is basically zero this is right up my alley.
It was all LIES!! All LIES!!
This reminds me of when they said the Atari Jaguar was a true 64-bit gaming console...
I'm still on the belief that if this game was free along with a Nintendo Online subscription (like the awesome Tetris 99) it would be a MAJOR reason for those that haven't bought into yet to do so.
I loved the DS Clubhouse Games and played it a ton. I’m really glad to hear that single-cart local wireless is returning; that was a great feature on the DS version. I am absolutely on board for this one!
Definitely something worth a look. Wish they would have more stuff like this.
I’m incredibly excited for this game.
@Schlomo getting rid of single cart local multiplayer has helped sell Nintendo a lot of extra games. This is from someone who owns 4 copies of Mario Tennis, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mario Tokyo, Luigi's Mansion, Splatoon.
Thinking that this game will be lucky to come anywhere near 1 million sold. It will have a small audience, but not as big as other Nintendo's games.
@nhSnork #When you find out there's actually 200+ members of the Wonderful 101, lol...
You could call it Action 52.
@Reigestugatensho or when you learn about all the sequels to Final Fantasy...
I don’t know why they are making it so hard to know if it can be played docked.
I really hope it supports the LABO Piano.
@noswitchbutidc Team tanks is baffling that it was excluding from online. But I guess they only designed it to work like Shell Shocked Deluxe from Super Mario Party.
