    i spended 40 € for that? sorry for 56€ i got mario. i expected more from that game , i wanted a game to play with my gf and there are not many minigames 28 in total but most are just play one and never see you again. I am ashamed to say to my gf that i spended 40 € for that game.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Although the presentation is bright and colorful and the tutorial videos can be a little humorous, this game fails on almost every other level. The outrageous price point of FIFTY dollars doesn't help the matter, and neither does the fact there are only 28 minigames in the entire game. Maybe if Nintendo added free downloadable minigames throughout the year it would be slightly better, butAlthough the presentation is bright and colorful and the tutorial videos can be a little humorous, this game fails on almost every other level.

    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.

    Fun for the first few times you play it. Then you'll never touch it again. Not worth the money!

    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

    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".

    C'est un jeu moyen, il est fun à jouer avec la famille ou des potes, mais on a vite fait le tour, ca manque vraiment d'autres mini jeu, c'est dommage.

    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

    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.

    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.

    it's by far the worst 1st party title on the switch. it's a tech demo that cost way too much

    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

    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

    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.

    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"

    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.

    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.
