Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Includes 51 mini games (52 if you count piano app). Will give full list of games at end of review. Great to play with family/friend during rainy days, or during the current shelter-in-place/lockdown situation All games are unlocked from the start. Difficulty settings and variants within individual mini-games are unlock through playing. Example of variant is 8ball and 9ball in Billiards. Some games also have different rule options available More fun with friends. Some games are more luck based when playing with AI, but you're able to redo moves on turn-based games like chess or checkers Tutorials are okay. If you played the games before and need a refresher it's good. For those totally new, some require a learn-as-you-play approach. For example, some games have it where you think you can make move but can't; they'll prompt you. Also have cheating prevention; for those who hide pieces/cards in real life tabletop/card games. You know who you are! Game bookmarks or save your progress if you get bored and want to switch to a different game, or when someone is bothering you and want to play another selection There is voice acting in the game. Some games quips with one liners whenever you make a move. There are lame story cutscenes for each game's intro HD rumble works really well. Similar to '1-2 Switch' game. Able to feel dice rolls in cup, or when checker pieces slide down in 'Four-in-a-Row ' game If you play docked you'll get a slight angle on board games. When playing handheld you get direct top-down view All 52 games can be played single player There are some single player ONLY games like Solitaire, and sliding puzzle 2 player local co-op: 40 games can be played 3 Player local co-op only has 3 games (on one console): Blackjack, Ludo, Chinese Checkers 4 player local co-op (on one console): Blackjack, and Ludo If you play on multiple Switches local or online; more games are available. For example 3 player games boost up to 9 from 3, and 4 player can play 9 games instead of 2. There is a local guest pass app you can download on Switch eshop for free so you can play with others with just one full copy of the game (cannot work online, only local). -Online: Online works by selecting 3 games you want to play then wait in the lobby. While you wait, you can play games offline. There's no online chat, or pre-selected phrases when playing against a stranger. Playing with friends you have to use the Nintendo Online App...or you can just call them, use walkie talkies or other audio/video communication. When you start an online game, you cannot quit mid-way unless you go to Switch's Home screen and close application. When playing with strangers; if someone disconnects/leaves game, then a AI/CPU will take over. But when playing with friends if someone leaves the game closes/ends like someone flipping the table out of frustration in real life -Mosaic Mode. Link 4 switches together in portable mode to make larger board/surface to play on. Works on following games: Fishing, Piano, Slot Cars, Team Tanks Bowling and Darts require joy-cons for motion control Game is $40 at launch. If you do the math (and include piano app) each game is ~76 cents each. Some are throwaways, or get bored playing several times as once you beat all the levels you're done. There are 160 achievements or medals to collect for those achievement hunters If you can find at least a small handful of games that you play regularly with friends/family it's definitely worth it -Now onto the list of games: 1. 6-Ball Puzzle 2.
