    Fantastic polish on nearly everything here. I have almost no complaints about the execution of these games, they're extremely well done, and the intros are entertaining and helpful in learning the ins and outs. There are some duds here. War was included, which is a pointless time waster. I can understand playing this game when you have nothing else but a pack of cards, but there's noFantastic polish on nearly everything here.

War was included, which is a pointless time waster. I can understand playing this game when you have nothing else but a pack of cards, but there's no reason to play this on a Switch.

    Chess, Shogi, and Backgammon, on the other hand, are fantastic and are classics for a reason of course. Fantastic games, and they nailed the execution. Overall for what games were included this is a great time. They could have subbed in some better games than some of the luck based ones here, but a lot of that comes down to what games you prefer, and I'm sure implementing games like War didn't take up much dev time.

    The only major exclusion I think would have elevated the package is Go. Instead this game only has Gomoku, which is very fun in it's own right but lacks the same depth.

    It's great. A really fun collection of classics. I've already played it for quite some time and will keep playing for a while because I have barely tried every game yet. It's polished as usually when it comes to NIntendo quality. Really relaxing game.

    This collection of games is providing the most fun, by far, that I've had with my Switch. It's apparent that a great deal of time, coding skill and creativity went into the development of every one of these 51 games. As a 72-year-old, I appreciate that Nintendo has produced a collection that has a wide variety of games likely to appeal to players of all ages, even old folks like me.

    Perfect game, it has online play with strangers and it reminds me of the Wii days like Wii play and Wii party. All in all, it's a great time and you should buy it.

    Literally the most fun I've had on the Switch for couch co-op. It reminds me of the old Wii games where you'd gather with family or friends and just play some some albeit competitive fun. I've played many times already with my siblings, father and friends and have yet to have a bad time with the incredible selection of games

    The game is very attractive.
    It has beautiful graphics, animations, sounds and, of course, the gameplay.
    Some games between the presented set support motion controllers, as the Bowling, for example.
    It funny to play locally.
    Must have for playing with friends or family.

    The darts game is really good, highly recommend everyone gives it a go. With this package you will not need to keep things (and lose them) all over the house such as chess or draughts boards, or even playing cards. Best of all , you can play everything online!

    51 games of varying levels of audience, I thought it was just various casino/card games for adults but there were also games for kids, pretty wholesome I would say.

    The games looks good, I haven't even played all of them yet, there are AI to play with but it's more fun to play it with somebody. Another great thing about it is if you have multiple nintendo switch nearby, you don't

    Another great thing about it is if you have multiple nintendo switch nearby, you don't need to buy the full game for each of them, you just need to download the free Clubhouse Games Guest Pass on the other switch, and you can play with wirelessly, that is really cool because it has those co-op touch screen puzzle games aside from the other games if offers.

    Very solid minigame collection for $40. A lot of fun so far and very enjoyable. If you're in the mood for some classic games, check this one out.

    Great collection of games. Extremely well made and fun to play together or by yourself. The cons are the obnoxious voice acting that comes up on game intros, and some few control limitations. Infinite replayability. Worth every penny.

    This is both a great party and single player game! Most of the games are so fun to play and there are just one or two games that I don't really enjoy to play.

    The quality of the mini games are good, beautiful graphics, good gameplay.

    For the genre of the game this is spot on.

    I would love to see is the possibility to play bowling with 4 players though.

    The game is really good. I just think it's a shame that you can't play most card games with multiplayer on one console.

    This game does exactly what it sets out to do. Providing you and your family and/or friends with short and repeatable experiences that usually end up being a lot of fun! Ive played about 20 or so games at the time of writing and can say that the variety offered here is stellar. There are some duds for sure, but I'm sure there are several games that anyone would enjoy!

    The multiplayer is a bit convoluted to say the least, but the ability to use the guest pass to access the full game when someone else owns it locally is a nice touch.

    Overall the game is not perfect, but for the use cases that Nintendo was obviously going for it delivers very well!

    Really, fun. Exactly what it says it is, 51 games. They're all really fun, the graphics are amazing and it's great for playing with friends online and in real life. A fun package, could use some more collectables, but definitely worth $40

I was expecting just a menu with each game with not much else, but they went a step further. With games like Yacht, 4 in a row, boxing, tennis, golf, soccer, and 45 others, this will surely entertain you whether you're alone, or with friends or online. This easily could've been $50 and I wouldn't have been able to complain. Expand

    I really enjoy this game. The graphics are charming in a Nintendo sort of way. I usually play against my partner, but the CPU isn't bad either and has a variety of difficulty levels.

This game's shooting range, however, definitely feels like the one in Wii Sports! A handful of games use (fun) motion controls, although you can switch to touch controls if you prefer. One disappointment is the use of buttons (no motion) for the tennis game, but I guess that's to drive customers towards Mario Tennis Aces. The tank games and golf are pretty short and limited. Some (most?) games only allow 2 players in multiplayer, but I only have one partner so I can't complain. It's a great value given the large selection of games and their replayability value.

    Edit: I wanted to mention that the game includes Sorry/Trouble, Yahtzee, Reversi/Othello, Connect Four, and Uno. They're just under different names due to copyright.

    It’s a fun game with a polished and cozy charm and has a really nice atmosphere. Although sometimes games can seem one-sided or lacking some areas, clubhouse games makes up for it with its online and enormous amount of games which will definitely have you busy for hours on end!

    A Nintendo-branded collection of 51 classic games.

    PROS: SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE: 51 games are a lot, and they range from classic board games such as chess and backgammon to card games, dice games, simulations like bowling and slot cars, and even mini-videogames such as golf. If you don't find something to like in here, then you probably don't like games, period. PERFECT FOR

If you don't find something to like in here, then you probably don't like games, period.

    PERFECT FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY: I enjoy having quick games after lunch with relatives on the Internet. When we meet, we still pick up our Switches every now and then to play side by side. This is the perfect casual game for everybody.

    EXTREMELY POLISHED: This collection is painstakingly curated, and the excellent graphics and sound go a long way towards making each game feel "real" and satisfying to play.

    CONS:

    NO MIXING FRIENDS AND RANDOS: When you play on the Internet, you can "Play with friends" (and computer-controlled opponents) or "Play with strangers"–not both. While that's probably a way to avoid cheating, it still feels weirdly constraining in this kind of casual games.

    NOT A PARTY GAME: This game assumes that each player has their own Switch. If you want to play with multiple people on the same Switch, you're mostly out of luck.

    THE CHARACTERS ARE ANNOYING: The short dialogues that introduce each game are a great idea, but those kids (and some of the adults) are pretty obnoxious.

    51 Worldwide Games is not only a great collection, but also a kind of tutorial on the history of games from around the world. The project will not impress you with an unprecedented depth, but it will definitely be a great addition for any party with friends and a faithful companion during tedious trips.
