Video: Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics Trailer Shows Off All 51 Games

This is what 1-2 Switch should have been.

This looks fun, but my main question is, can you play go an a smaller board?

This one can't come soon enough. We have been playing a lot of board games lately and while we already have a good number of these, having them all digitally too will be much more convenient, and less cleanup!

I don't know if I'm easily impressed (or if I'm too used to cheap board games shovelware) but those game settings look gorgeous.

Reminds me of the 100 all time favourites game on DS. Still got that.

Wish they would release this asap. Perfect lockdown game.

Animal Crossing and this? Nintendo has quarantine sorted

I only counted 50. I demand a refund.

From 51 games, i will never want to play Toy Soccer as i never like soccer and will not touching that mini game.

@Octane Refund denied. Pause the vid at 4:00 =0p - Clubhouse Director

Yep looks loads of fun will get further down the line x x x x

I’m absolutely stoked for this game. I probably played the original more hours than any game on DS.

The original was such a fun multiplayer game, I hope this has similar features

Another must own for me!

I wish they’d add Crokinole

It's like a box of chocolates. You will have your favourite dozen or so and end up going back to just a few.

Getting this. Perfect for families in lockdown.

Pre-ordered via nintendo store with a free Clubhouse pen and notebook.
Not sure if that's exclusive to the store or not?

Wonder if there will be additional games via updates in the future?

My mum still regularly plays Mahjong on the 42 Classic games for DS. Will definitely be picking this up

It's the perfect quarantine game coming way too late.

I wonder if it will support a combo of hot-seat and online. Meaning two couples from different houses can play together using one Switch per household.

100% a dropped Wii U title. The graphics and physics give it away themselves!

Not sure if it's worth £35...

I still can't believe that this is going by the absolutely idiotically generic title of "51 Worldwide Games" internationally, especially in Australia, as the original DS/DSi releases utilised the "Clubhouse Games" branding as per the U.S. releases.

I'm tempted to import the U.S. version for the title alone.

@Eddyson that's not the Go you're thinking of, this is actually Gomoku, that consist in putting five stones in a row!

More and more it's looking like I'll grab this. Especially with motion controls for bowling and golf to fill that Wii sports void.

Curious to see if they'll somehow try to add in some Spirits based on this to Smash...

No idea why switch monopoly, battleship, clue doesnt have wireless play. I will be buying this versus the others which I skipped.

@westman98 1-2 switch should just be a free download these days. Or at least free with NSO.

Day one for me.

Really excited for this. I’d love to learn how to play some beloved games from overseas that I’m not particularly familiar with and have a blast with some old favourites of mine. Really gives me Wii Play vibes, and that isn’t a bad thing at all.

I loved the DS game and cannot wait for this one! So happy this game is back.

This looks excellent for families with younger children and non-gamer spouses. I’m stoked!

I hadn't even looked into this, but it's chockfull of content and there's a good mix of mini-games for parties and classics that I can play alone. I'll keep an eye out for it.

I can't wait, this looks even better than the original

"will launch on 5th June"

I can't wait for 5th June!

This is the game I'm most looking forward too.😀

I’m excited for this mainly just because of bowling, but a lot of other games look like a lot of fun too. Plus it’s only $40 and will make for a great quarantine or party game with friends!

I was a huge fan of the original, it was easily my most played DS game. I'm definitely excited for this, but not gonna lie I am disappointed at some of the games they cut from the DS game. Rummy, BS, Field Tactics, Takeover, Balance, Hangman.....those were some of my favorite/most played games. Don't get me wrong there are a handful of great new additions and revamped returning games in this Switch version, but for example I could do without Ludo and Connect 4 (especially since we have Connect 5 already), and some of the new additions just don't do it for me, personally.

I don't see why they just didn't keep all the games from the DS version and just revamp them+add the new ones. There's no excuse for cutting them considering a DS game from 2006 (with no capacity for DLC or system memory storage) could contain all of them; it's just laziness. I do have slight optimism that they might add some DLC down the road, considering almost all of Nintendo's first party Switch releases have received DLC of some kind.

@ChameleonBros I'm not aiming the following at you directly, but summing up what has happened here as "Laziness" like many other gamers have done with other games is a pet peeve of mine, so allow me to rant.

This game has a simple premise as a collection of well-worn games, but every commercial game must maintain a balance. Developers are paid to create it over time, a level of polishing is decided that can be met in that time, and many other costs are weighed against a projected amount of sales.

There were decisions made to make this game a success. Some gamers will not agree with those decisions and will be disappointed. "Laziness" on the part of the developer or publisher is a suggestion some gamers use to help express their frustration, but gamers suggesting it is, frankly, the result of their own lazy thinking on the matter.

Does anyone who uses the term imagine developers just lounging around doing very little so that features are not added while somebody pays them for doing so little? It does not hold up to a minute or two of contemplation. Compare that to the reality of studios and individual developers suffering from the typical affects of extended crunch time.

Yes, there is a spectrum to how this happens across different studios, and there are a very, very few mega-breakaway-hits where a game can make more money after its initial development and maintain that with less effort. But even then, the workforce is likely reduced and those developers are hard at work on another entirely different game.

While there may be an example or two of the lazy successful developer, what we are likely talking about is a publisher creating projects with very low budgets to capitalize on a successful property — and a very hard working small team trying to do the best with that low budget. More like a poor choice, lack of ambition, or ignorance. Not lazy.

sigh

Okay, got that out of my system. Cheers! And I hope you get your DLC for the games you like. I'm looking forward to this one, too.

Hopefully, the DS version games will be DLC for this game, this game will be a system seller. Also please, for the love of G-D Please include the Doubling cube in Backgammon or leave out BG entirely. Matchplay wouldn't hurt either, for BG.

This just makes me want more DS remasters and whatnot for the switch...

@Kimyonaakuma They sure do. Once I got the notice I was being furloughed from work I've been burning through my Switch backlog like it's going out of style.

I would love to know if there are any games unable to be played docked, if any games require undocked for multiplayer, and if any games require additional systems for local multiplayer

Edit- video indicates multiple switch systems are required for local multiplayer for games with cards or tiles

I've still got my 42 All-Time Classics cart. Loved that and will pick this up at some point.

Looks really good and looking forward to playing against my partner, what price are we talking for this? And is is digital only?

Ah yes, who could forget the classic clubhouse pastime of shooting down UFOs with pellet guns. :3

I wonder if you can play bowling in handheld mode by touchscreen?

I am super excited for this game because I absolutely love board games and card games! Can’t wait until June 5....

@playstation_king It is about $40 in US and $45 in Canada. It will get a physical release.

@westman98 with a doubt! 1-2 Switch looked like a beta/pilot program meant for demo purposes only.

That was my one disappointment with the launch of the Switch.

Yep, this was a cancelled Wii U game lol

Saw tanks and was immediately far more interested. That game was great on the Wii!

There's something like this on 3DS. I hope this had more effort put into it. The 3DS game only has a handful of worthwhile games, while others are garbage filler or have some flaw that make then not worth going back to. For example, Backgammon doesn't have a difficulty setting and the AI is super-dumb.

Boomers need games too.

Looks like half of Wii play is on there and 3/5ths of Wii sports. Casts a cloud over whether the series will return on the switch.
I hope it does though, was hoping for some Switch sports and party at some stage.

@Chibi bowling looks like WiiSports but golf looks too down and Tennis and baseball are toy versions. I still think they should port across WiiSportsClub from WiiU. Even digital only would sell IMO

Definitely buying this. Love yachtzee!! So happy to see it included

Shooting Gallery looks awfully familiar to me. I wonder if Wii have seen it somewhere before.

This looks really good. I’ve been thinking of getting a chess game, I love chess. But I might opt for this cause it comes with so much more. Can’t go wrong with board games sometimes.

@james_squared I was about to reply seriously, but then I took a second look at your comment, lol

@Emperor-Palpsy The Switch has been out for over three years.

I was in on this game for online riichi mahjong alone. A lot of the other games look great, but mahjong with a budget behind it? Yes please! There are other mahjong games on the eshop but they all have horrid translations or no online play or both.

@Bret I haven't denied that.

@Danny429 Perhaps I should have written that Wii have Play(ed) it before.

I want to know how to play hannafuda as I’ve had a set of cards from Nintendo New York for years, but have no idea how to play! 😬
