1-2 Switch feels to be spiritual successor to Wii Sports with a hint of Wario's quirkiness added to the mix. The mini-games are bizarre, funny, and memorable but some games leave you hanging due to lack of proper instructions.

Good launch title; Good party game; Variety of games

Multiplayer only; Some games lack proper instruction

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.

As suspected, 1-2 Switch would have been much better served packed in with every Nintendo Switch (and it may yet become that). As a demonstration of the Joy Cons' abilities it's fantastic, as a multiplayer party game it's fun and often hilarious, but it could stand to have just a little more in the...

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.

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

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

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.

Do you have zero friends? Is physical interaction with other human beings a rarity? Then 1-2-Switch is not for you. Nintendo's party game collection, like Nintendoland and Wii Sports before it, is best enjoyed with friends, drinks and pizza, ideally in copious amounts.

Fantastic showcase for all Switch features; Good variety of games; Genuinely great fun at parties

Multiplayer only; Some games difficult to grasp; Should have been bundled with console

There are a lot of fun ideas, and the general concept of a portable party game works well, but there are just too few mini-games and too little reason to keep playing them.

A unique concept that could only work with the Switch; Instantly accessible for even non-gamers and some of the uses of the Joy-Con are inspired

Too few games, some of which aren't much fun; The reliance on sound is a flawed concept, and there's absolutely nothing to do for the single-player
