    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.

    When you try the game for the first time it will be fun, but then you will get bored and hate it

    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.

    It’s a great game and a really fun time waster.. however it’s price isn’t the best and should be way lower.

    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

    It's fun for the first 5 minutes you play it. Iys a cool demonstration of what the switch can do but it's way to overpriced if it was 30-40$ instead of 60$ I would probably give it a higher rating

    This game was very confusing and mainly involves you blindly waving your arms with no idea of what you are actually doing. It gets boring very fast, and the intros to the games are over exaggerated.

    Juego muy malo para casuales, con mecánicas que ni a los más infantes divertiría por mucho tiempo.
    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.

    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.
