    Like Wii Sports and Nintendo Land, this is a launch title for the new Nintendo system, introducing you to the new controller. It is a mini game collection that is fun for the entire family. Unlike the Wii Sports and Nintendo Land, this game does NOT come with the console. You have to buy it separately. It is not worth the money. The game doesnt have enough content and gets boring quickly.

    After playing all the mini-games, the replayability factor of some games is very low. Of course, you can fight with your friends for the highest score, but every mini-game run is basically the same. The game can be fun, but it doesn't come close to "Wii Sports"

    В теории очень классная игра, а на практике - так себе. Поиграл пару раз, а потом надоедает.

    i really enjoy playing this game with friends and family. this is a pretty good game BUT it is not worth $50, in my opinion it is worth around $30-40. if you don't have a game dedicated friend or a family that doesn't have that much free time for games, there are some games you could play yourself like ball count or joy con rotation. but most of the games are not fun or unplayable byi really enjoy playing this game with friends and family. this is a pretty good game BUT it is not worth $50, in my opinion it is worth around $30-40. if you don't have a game dedicated friend or a family that doesn't have that much free time for games, there are some games you could play yourself like ball count or joy con rotation. but most of the games are not fun or unplayable by yourself. you should get this game if you have people to play with.

    Отличная игра! В компании играть одно удовольствие. Мини игры разнообразные и интересные. Игра также не успевает надоесть (если у вас гости конечно не каждый день;) ). Как по мне, заслуживает все 10 баллов.

    This game is really really bad the minigames get boring after a while if you buy it you'll probably play it once and never play it again. DO NOT BUY

    This game is garbage. They tried to recreate Wii sports and failed. This game is so bad it makes me projectile vomit. The mini games are boring and unoriginal. I would expect this from a Wii mini game collection made by some old lady in her basement.

    1-2 Switch was a forgotten Switch launch title, mainly because it was shovel ware. The game is just a fine party game. Not as good as the Wii Party games, but its decent fun for awhile. The game itself is a minigame collection, while it doesn't have any outright bad minigames, it doesn't have too many creative ones and the majority of them are short. Overall, 1-2 Switch is a fine party game.

    Should've been a pack-in title.

    The good:
    - some genuinely interesting uses of the switch's hardware
    - fun presentation

    The bad:
    - mini games lack depth
    - no replayability
    - fairly pricey for the amount of content

    Well in short: after only 1 day you get bored of it, that is it.
    So nothing for longtime play.
    You will be able to only bring it up once or twice a year with new people.
    For that it is absolutely too expensive and made quite cheap.

    alot of game reviews start with "what's not to love"
    well i'm starting this one with what's TO love
    this is a poorly mad party game that costs nearly as much as a AAA game
    and there's nothing to keep you playing like unlockables, there is no single player and walst i do own this game, i don't even like the box art its bland uninspired and just awful at maximun it will give you an hour of "fun".

    Es un juego un poco caro para lo que ofrece, ya que parece más una demostración de lo que puedes hacer con los Joy-Con. Podría incluso haber venido junto a la consola como hizo Wii Sports con Wii. En general está bien, entretenido para pasar un buen rato con tus amigos, pero poco más.

    Let's be clear that this game isn't out to compete with Mario or Zelda. It is a party game that really displays what the joycons can do.

    However despite the numerous mini games there isn't a whole lot of depth. There isn't an option of keeping score. Obviously no story mode. It is a take what you see. But really, after a few times playing it, you lose interest and fast. Kids like

    Um dos jogos para Switch que usa o HD rumble de maneira mais objetiva, os mini games são divertidos para uma jogatina entre amigos, a falta de um modo história igual vemos na série Wario Ware, é o ponto negativo ao lado dos gráficos bem simples tudo isso vendido a preço cheio contribui para uma nota mais regular.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1-2 Switch is a fun game for a little while, and by a little while, I mean until you play every mini game once or twice. I think as a stand-alone game you will get some fun out of it with friends or family, however, in my opinion, if you add some other things to it, such as punishments for the losers or rewards for the winners, it is much more fun. The game comes with 28 mini games: Telephone, Ball Count, Zen, Treasure Chest, Milk, Safe Crack, Quick Draw, Samurai Training, Sneaky Dice, Signal Flags, Soda Shake, Shave, Joy-Con Rotation, Table Tennis, Baby, Fake Draw, Baseball, Eating Contest, Beach Flag, Wizard (My personal favorite), Sword Fight, Boxing Gym, Plate Spin, Copy Dance, Runway, Air Guitar, Dance Off, and Gorilla. I had hoped on release that there would be free DLC with more mini games, but there was no DLC at all. Another issue I have with the game is that it has no age range. Some games are more complex, such as Sneaky Dice, and then there are other ones like Milk, where you move your arm up and down. A positive of the game is that it is a great party starter. I invited some friends over and we played through each and every mini game with the loser having to eat one of the Bean Boozled jellybeans and it was great fun (Thank you for the idea AbdallahSmash026). But, after all of this, the biggest problem to me is that before every game, you sit through a 1-2 minute video on how to play, and then you play and it lasts about 20 seconds. Overall, if you have some extra money and want a party game, go ahead and buy it, but not for full retail price. A buddy of mine got it off of eBay for like 20 bucks, where you can buy it at retail stores for 50-60. Expand

    Lo más grave es su precio de salida: $60, como si fuera algo de super producción cuando claramente es una baratija ¡que ni siquiera vino con la videoconsola! Eso fue lo más grave.

    This game should be bundled with all Nintendo Switches for free. It felt like a rushed demo to try and bolster up the number of release titles. It is a collection of joy-con centric mini party games. It offers zero value for single player gamers, and not the kind of game you would play at a real party.

    1-2-Switch suffers from its games having a little lack of replayability, since those are all this has. This game does a decent job of showing the Joycon's capabilities, although I'd say Super Mario Party has taken that role better. Most of what you'll be seeing are live action videos explaining everything, and without the charm of the Miis or other creatures from previous Consoles.

Instead, they’re charging $50 for this game.

    The game has 28 different mini-games and they are mini-games. Most games take 1-2 minutes to complete at most. In an hour and a half, you can play every single game. Yes, there are a couple decent ones but how often are you going to want to play this? Maybe once when you get the game, once with a group of friends and once with family.

    That’s it, each session will be about an hour. So if you think $50 is worth 3 hours. Then go ahead and pick this game up.

Regardless the time we did put into this was still fun. I suggest waiting until this goes on sale for 20 or 30 bucks. Unless you are a die hard party game fan, i would wait for a discount.

    1-2-Switch is just a tech demo for what the switch can do, most of the mini games are stupid and boring, sure the game might be fun for one hour but that's pretty much it.
    And $50 is way to much much for this game.
    You should buy a switch but not for this game, buy it for Zelda both, Mario Odyssey and the upcoming Super Smash Bros NOT for 1-2-Switch.

    The games at most last for a minute, and almost all the games are multiplayer only. It is a fun time, if you do get friends to play this with you. if this was a pack in game for the switch than the limited content of the game could have been forgiven. However, at 50 bucks, it's hard to recommend. especially due to the fact that their are better multiplayer games for the switch.

    I enjoyed this game a lot actually. The mini games were mostly fun (some didn’t’t work well), and it is one of the best local multiplayer Switch games so far. I didn’t know what to score it, because it isn’t like any other game I have reviewed, so I gave it a 8. It is just fun, and I recommend it.

    Honestly the game just isn't for me. Only a handful of games are fun to play, and most of them don't have a lot of replay ability. And of course, it's WAY too expensive. This game simply should've come with the console. Quite disappointed with this game, I was expecting a lot more from a launch title game that is meant to showcase what the Switch can do.

    The quality of the final product is great, but when you couple that with the price, and thats the original release price of around 35... it starts to look not as good.

    The game should be part of the basic Nintendo Switch bundle, just like Wii Sports was. If it ever becomes part of the bundle for the switch you can treat this review score as a 8. The mini games that make 1-2-Switch

    The mini games that make 1-2-Switch are a mixture of entertainment and annoyance. There is not really any way to pick out which ones you will like and will not, majority of people probably play the champagne bottle one, not have a clue what's supposed to happen and give up. You may also start to favour the ones that don't require you to take the joy-con straps off, or you may just take them off and leave them off.

    This is how much the games are hit and miss, but for a part, with 4 or more people you'll have a lot of fun for half an hour or more, and if that half an hour 35 (quid / dollars), then you probably got a good deal (Just remember how much you paid for your Switch first).

    1-2-Switch is little more than a glorified tech demo and its outrageous asking price is downright unacceptable. While it has its interesting moments and features good presentation, it's an abject failure as a fun co-operative experience and at retail price falls far short of free Wii launch tie-in title Wii Sports.

    Three partially amusing games and the rest is utter garbage, should have just selected the four most interesting games and made it free with the switch (like they did with wii sports). Please do not spend your money on this game! I promise that you will feel ripped off. It's a tech demo, and not a good one at that.

    I definitely agree with most people that this should 've been bundled in with the switch. But I also think that the game is really fun when played in a party of 4 or more.

    Even though a lot of the game modes are pretty stupid they become fun when playing with friends. What we find most fun to do is shuffle mode winner remains which is a fun cometitive way to play all the game modes.

There is a team mode but we found that one to be "Mariokart-y" where the losing team gets an edge.

    One thing that bothered us was that the high scores weren't saved which really should be updated.

    Overall a great local party game, a genre where Nintendo shines and will continue to shine for many years to come.

    1-2 Switch is one of the laziest party games of all time. Very little of this game stands up to the Nintendo Party games of past consoles.

Very little of this game stands up to the Nintendo Party games of past consoles. Past titles were essentially tech demos for Nintendo's newest system. The developers of these games were forced to make a game to fit the gimmicks of the system, thus, the games were extremely unique at launch, and were always the best use of the system's more unusual mechanics. Wii Sports, at the time, was a very unique way to introduce motion controls to a more casual audience, and Nintendo Land was the only game on the Wii U to (in my opinion) utilize the motion controls, touchscreen, and second screen in a way that didn't feel messy or broken. Mobility and portability being the Switch's main features, I was excited to see how these aspects would be used in their newest party game. Even if the developers couldn't think of interesting ways to use the portability aspect of the Switch, I thought that taking advantage of the many different control styles of the Switch would be much easier than making a game to fit the obscure game pad functions. However, 1-2 Switch does not use any of the mechanics unique to the Switch, and instead focuses on the motion controls. This game might as well be for the Wii for all the difference the console makes. This would hardly be of complaint if the motion controls worked and the mini games were fun, but the motion controls almost always feel choppy and unresponsive, and the mini games are simplistic and repetitive. For example, the wizard mini game is the most confusing mini game ever created, and the quick draw game is remarkably imprecise. Without friends, this game is absolutely abysmal, and playing solo is the only thing that interests me in video games. There is so little happening on the TV screen that this game could be from three console generations ago, and there would be no difference in resolution or frame rate. Taking into account Nintendo's track record of simple party games, it's beyond clear than an inexperienced development team worked on this, and it was extremely rushed. I am very disappointed, and this is currently one of my least favorite games I've played this year. It also costs full price, so in no way is this game worth purchasing even to witness how much of a letdown it is. 1-2 Switch is a joke, and deserves nothing more than a 2 out of 10. Expand

    With mediocre game-play and no presentation the game just isn't worth the money. With a extreme lack of challenge and re-playability makes it so when you play this game for 20 minutes you've seen the entirety of the game.

The graphics are nice, clean and the game play is simple to pick up and understand.

    The good minigames outweigh the bad, and while 1-2-Switch will never be as well remembered as its older sibling Wii Sports, it’s a decent spiritual successor to it that is great to bring to parties.

    For what what it is it's an enjoyable party game with superb controls. I just wish there was more to it. For example each minigame only has one variant, why can't there be more ways to play like Wii Sports or Nintendo Land? Those gave more bang for your buck with more enjoyable gameplay and content.

    1-2 Switch is so innovative and unique that it is difficult to rate it relative to other games.

As a collection of mini games of uneven quality, many of which lose their spark after the surprise and novelty wear off after a few plays, 1-2 Switch just can't justify its price tag. The game is intended to be a party game (it's multiplayer only), which it has the potential to excel at - if you have the right crowd. The unorthodox nature of the controls and reliance on in-game audio means it won't work for just anyone or in every situation. Still, there is fun to be had here and some innovative mechanics that make good use of the potential of the hardware. Expand

    I expected the game to be fun for a few play throughs before I became fed up with it. At no point while playing did it seem fun. Probably the most boring game that I have played in a while.

The mini games are interesting the first time but after you've played every game it has to offer you will notice that the game is bare bones at best.

The 3D rumble feature works amazingly well and you can feel them rolling around but it is not what I call fun.
    The game is trying to be like the old Wario Ware series but lacks all the charm and the fun of that series.

    While 'casual gamers' may get some enjoyment out of it the game is simply a tech demo at full price and I expected more from Nintendo.

    When you think of past launch titles like Wii Sports and even Nintendo Land, this one will be forgotten very quickly. Can't recommend this at all. Save your money.

It's the first game I've been able to play with my dad and five year old sister. The HD Rumble is cool, and of the 28 minigames, I can see myself coming back to about half of them.
    Pros:
    -Fun for non-gamers as well, simple to teach
    -Memorable moments
    -28 minigames
    -HD Rumble games like Safe Crack are awesome

    Cons:
    -Gets boring unless you're playing it with new people
    -Some minigames are bad, e.g Zen and the notorious Baby
    -Gamers may be annoyed at lack of depth
    -The price :(

    Really I blame Nintendo's advertising. I found that this isn't a game for adults, but one for kids. If you ever enjoyed Mario Kart Wii or the WarioWare games with friends, this is for you.

    However 1 2 switch was 1 of 5 launch titles on release for the Nintendo Switch. 1 2 switch does offer 28 mini games which is a reasonable amount and only really 1/4 are fun so this game won't really last long it's one of those games that you probably would play occasionally or play it for a couple of weeks and then completely forgettable.

    Although you can't deny that this game does use the Joy Con functionality pretty well with the likes of motion controls and HD Rumble.

    However, I see some redeeming qualities to it.

    For one, it seems that it was made for the younger demographic. I can see that this might be something that younger kids can enjoy.

    Secondly, since the Nintendo Switch is portable, it can be played at parties which can lead to a lot of fun. Whether you're drunk with your friends or just want to kill time at said party, this game can set you straight.

    Overall, I don't think it's the worst game of all time. It's not the best game, either. If you're curious about this game, you might want to wait for the price to drop. Afterwards, or if you really need this game for whatever reason, check it out and see what you think.

    - It says you to look at your opponent, but at some point you need to be looking at the screen
    - Not worth the price, at all. Basically because it has zero creativity and a very bad taste in the few graphics it has, also the menus are not user friendly, making it a bit difficult to select a minigame.

    Granted, I only played this game against my sister today, but I feel this game would fare better in a larger social setting with more friends.

    The quality of mini-games are a mixed bag, ranging from fun (safe-cracking, flag raising, yoga posing), to confusion (table tennis, plate spinning, baby cradling). The fun games manage fully utilize HD Rumble and showcase the full capabilities of the joycons (which are pretty impressive) and the confusion-inducing games are those that are just quite abstract to begin with. Unfortunately 1-2-Switch itself is expensive for a small party game that probably can entertain your guests for a few hours at most. However, I do thing there are still ways to spice up the gameplay when inviting friends over. Personally, I will probably pull out a jar of bad tasting jelly beans and forcing the losers to eat one after each round. That kind of external addition gives the game a competitive edge and will probably be very entertaining to watch.

    Can't say about the longevity of the game since I had not own it for very long, but I guess when the price drops it's not a bad game to pick up and play with friends.

    Sadly this demo wasn't packaged with the system, in fact you're the one making it fun with your friends while been drunk, and is still enjoyable in that particular case, but in that same case youy would rather want to be makig fun out of other things and not risking your switch while putting it at risk, is not a decent succesor to wii sports, wait for the price go down if you enjoy partingSadly this demo wasn't packaged with the system, in fact you're the one making it fun with your friends while been drunk, and is still enjoyable in that particular case, but in that same case youy would rather want to be makig fun out of other things and not risking your switch while putting it at risk, is not a decent succesor to wii sports, wait for the price go down if you enjoy parting with your friends or family.

    Un conjunto de 28 minijuegos muy divertidos y que se disfruta sobretodo para jugar en compañia y echar unas risas.Algunos minijuegos son mas divertidos que otros, pero 28 me parece un buen numero de minijuegos.

    This is mostly a show-case for the capabilities of the joy-cons; but an enjoyable and here and there surprisingly inventive one -- and a necessary one, because these 28 mini games among them all give a complete and in-depth study of these capabilities -- these are marvelous controllers, for what they are, and this game let's you experience that.

    Playing it for hours would possibly require slight intoxication, but playing the odd 15 minutes with my daughter, or a friend on the go, a colleague after hours at work, is pure fun. And I guess I know what I will play on Dec 31. .... Pose ... Copy ... ;-)

    One of my all-time favorite games of the year.
    10/10 would shoot you again.

    The game may not be worth full price, but as soon as it drops below the $20 mark be sure to pick this up.. It's a blast to play with normos.

    Greatest Game Ever. This revolutionary party game is beyond great. Name one game where you can milk cows. I dare you?

    The amount and quality of the minigames is legendary. You can be a gorilla.

    50 bucks for something you and your pals will mess around with for a few hours and then NEVER play again... Maybe once or twice a few years later on when you're all totally wasted or bored out of your minds but ultimately this is over priced bull crap. Reminds me of wii sports except terrible lol. This is basically a million times crappier than wiisports but worse lol.

    Okay joke times

    Okay joke times over. Here's a serious score though... A 4 out of 10. That's fair... This game isn't even really a game. Just some stupid crap that's over priced to pass the time...

    Don't waste your money, I repeat don't waste your money. 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, butDon't waste your money, I repeat don't waste your money.

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).

    This has maybe 5 or 6 decent mini-games on it, super over priced, i get that its to show off what the switch can do but this should have been a free game included with the console. Would not recommend buying unless its very cheap.

    $50? Are you serious? This should've been bundled with the system or a $20 add-on at most. Wii Sports came with the system at launch and was better than this. Nintendo has seen what happens when they put effort into something (Zelda BotW), so stay on target and stop making dumb decisions like this one.

    Honestly this game is not a 10, but it isn't a 5 or a 0 either. It is about a 7.... -

    Some of the games are fun, others are a bit meh. It all comes down to the people you play it with, it's a fun casual set of mini-games designed for party environments. At that it does a really good job (hence the 7). There are 28 mini-games and some of them are really good, like the rotation game,

    I highly recommend this if you hang out with non-gamers regularly and want something you can put on the switch that they will enjoy.

    I gave it a 10 because people are giving it bad reviews just because they got it into their head that they deserve it for free. But Nintendo already put so much into the switch that making this a pack-in would have increased the cost of the system. That aside, this game is good at what it is meant to be and a lot better than many other similar party games. -

    For all Nintendo’s protestations, 1-2-Switch absolutely should have been bundled with the Nintendo Switch. It's an excellent demonstration of the hardware and the sort of game that could be chucked on when you’ve got friends over and want to show them what the console is all about. Instead, you’ll have to fork out £35 for a limited, albeit fun, tech demo.
