    The best reason to consider picking up Nintendo's new console. Yes, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild may go down as the finest game Nintendo's yet made. But you can play Zelda on Wii U. 1-2-Switch only works on the Switch. It is an absolute blast, a party game nonpareil, but also a showcase for the sort of "next-gen local play" possibilities the Switch may turn out to be persuasive enough to give literal legs to.

    1-2 Switch defied my expectations, providing an entertainment experience above and beyond that of what I thought was its closest counterpart, Wii Sports. It has a huge variety of games, some better than others, which appeal to both gamers and non-gamers alike. Although artificial restrictions placed on some games and game modes keep it from being as much fun as it could be, this is an excellent party game, and it’s just as much fun to watch as it is to play.

    To really enjoy 1-2-Switch you just need a few beers and an awful lot of friends.

    As far as mini-game compilations go, 1-2 Switch isn’t that bad, but it won’t tread on Wii Sports grounds any time soon.

    At this price, I'd like something larger-scale. 1-2 Switch is the sort of weirdness I love, but I just wanted a bit more of it.

    The diminutive size of the controllers, combined with their tactile precision, makes the games feel fresh and contemporary. Switching between a specific game and the selection screen is quick and responsive, minimising the load-time lulls that can scupper any game-party.

    Unfortunatly this is a very poor party game from Nintendo. It's no where near the quality we got we Wii Party all those years ago now.Unfortunatly this is a very poor party game from Nintendo. It's no where near the quality we got we Wii Party all those years ago now. 1-2-Switch is very poor in terms of gameplay and offers little. The game selection is boring and you'll never want to play it more then once.… Full Review »

I bought this game with Zelda, cause I though it could be a kinda "ok" addition to my switch library. A game that I could play with friends and my brothers... The game is pure garbage! Don't waste your money on that. Trust me, it is NOT FUN. The first few rounds were ok, we laugh, we smiled, the "milk" game is awkward, but hilarious... but for god sake, that's pretty much it. Even that "milk" game gets boring after 20 minutes. What a huge waste of "MONEY" and "TIME".

    It's not even a game worth to play in a party were your friends are drunk and all, the game is just not fun. I'm giving it a "1 out of 10" for the milk game and the first 30 minutes and that's pretty damn generous. Do yourself a favor and save your money for the upcoming titles.

    It should seriously have been a free game that comes in bundle with the console. And even that, I think I wouldn't be playing it. Should have made a Switch Sports (like the Wii sports).    … Full Review »
