Club Penguin -On the Go! Edition- is a Club Penguin game for the Nintendo 3DS. This is the fourth Club Penguin video-game and it is the first Nintendo 3DS game.
Features and Gameplay[]
This Club Penguin video-game was made specifically with the Nintendo 3DS in mind, utilizing a lot of the built-in hardware features, as well as being one of the largest Nintendo 3DS games in general due to the size of the game's content.
This game is actually a "remixed" version of Club Penguin, containing many similarities to the online game. Reason being this game is like this is because it's geared towards those who are fans of Club Penguin who don't have a computer or those who travel a lot. While containing a lot of features utilizing the internet, the game is also geared towards those who don't have internet as a majority of the game could be played without internet features.
While containing many similarities, there are also many differences between the two games; the most obvious being that everything is completely rendered in 3D graphics, complete with three-dimensional models. There are also continuity nods with the first Club Penguin video-game, Elite Penguin Force, where there were rooms exclusive to that game such as the Tool Shed and the Puffle Training Room that are accessible here.
Gameplay[]
Similarly to the online game, players create their own penguin avatar with a username and a color of their choice. After that, players are open to the world of Club Penguin. Players could play the various minigames available and earn coins to customize their penguins and decorate their igloos. While exploring the island, players may earn stamps as achievements while also collecting weekly pins. If players meet certain characters, players will be able to take on certain roles and occupations during gameplay.
