Clubhouse Games(42 All-time Classics)

Hello shogi fans,

As you may be already aware, Nintendo released DS software called Clubhouse Games(42 All-time Classics) including shogi. It is the software of 42 classic card or boardgame which you can play both human-to-human games and games against computer. It's the first case that such a major player in the game industry as Nintendo released shogi with Westernized user interface. Most people will buy it without knowing the rules of shogi, even the existence of shogi. But I think most of the purchaser should learn at least what game shogi is like sooner or later. I'm sure some of them will become big fans of shogi. I think it can be called "big ban" of shogi population outside Japan.

I expect the future expantion of shogi population to be caused by Clubhouse Games will bring you more shogi friends in your area.
