1-2-Switch , by its very nature, lacks depth. A collection of 28 minigames brings with it broad appeal in its variety--activities include shooting cowboys, strumming an air guitar, cradling a baby to sleep, and more--but little in the way of long-lasting fun or replay value.

Shows off the Joy-Cons' capabilities well; Wide variety of the types of activities on offer; from sports to duels to baby-cradling; Some minigames are genuinely hilarious--especially the dirty ones; Introducing new people to 1-2-Switch never gets old

Playing 1-2-Switch with the same people does get old; and fast; Almost all its minigames lack depth; And many of them lack enough feedback to be satisfying when you win

Honestly, I'm still puzzled as to why this isn't a pack-in game. We've heard it all before, but unlike Wii Sports and Nintendo Land before it, 1-2-Switch has even less in the way of traditional gameplay.

Good variety of games; Great to demonstrate the JoyCon features

Pointless solo; Not a pack in game?; Expensive for what it is

First things first: this is a party game, with no single-player option; therefore, give your friends a call, order some pizzas… and tell those cheapskates to pay for them - you are the one who paid for a brand new Nintendo Switch, after all! Ready? Cool.

When a gaming console launches, especially one with unique input methods, there’s invariably a title meant to demo the tech on hand. Consider the Wii’s launch, and you should instantly think of the lightning-in-a-bottle that was Wii Sports .

It's like a rule with Nintendo systems that there's gotta be one game that just takes advantage of every single little feature of a console and it's controller. 1-2 Switch is that game for, you guessed it, the Nintendo Switch.

Concept: "The bosses say we need to launch the Switch with more than Zelda, and it needs to be done ASAP!" Graphics: The actors in the video tutorials are just as annoying as you are while playing the game, so in that sense, 1-2-Switch's visuals are incredibly realistic Sound: 1-2-Switch's simple...

is the Switch's version of Wii Sports, in that it acts as an overall mission statement for the console itself. The quirky, bizarre nature of the unique mini-games make it a funny, memorable experience, but some games are hard to play at first due to unclear tutorials and dialogue cues.

Has some high points, but soon gave way to glaring faults. Not the worst game, but is difficult to recommend.

Taking the p-switch.

HD Rumble is very cool; Milk will create some laughs

Some of the games are straight up tradition games repurposed; Unbelievably shallow; Insanely priced
