1, 2, Switch is an upcoming party game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch, which is set tp be released worldwide on March 3, 2017.[1] The game will extensively use the systems' Joy-Cons while the opponents face each other.[2][3]
Gameplay
1, 2, Switch is a unique party game in which players do not rely on what is happening on a screen, but rather make use of audio cues and the functionality of the Joy-Con controller to immerse themselves in several different games. Most of the games involve two players, who each use one of the Joy-Con controllers and are often encouraged to look at each other during gameplay. Aside from tutorial videos for each game, players rely solely on audio cues and feedback from the Joy-Con's HD Rumble feature to indicate how well they are playing each game.
Some featured game-types include:[2]
- Quick Draw: Resembling a cowboy showdown, both players must point their controllers downwards and, upon receiving the order to fire, must aim their controller and fire before their opponent.
- Milk: Players must use gestures and specific button presses in order to milk a virtual cow, with the aim to milk more jugs than their opponent.
- Copy Dance: Each player takes turns making dance poses, which the other player must copy in time to the music. Players are scored based on the performance.
- Samurai Training: One player makes an overhead sword swinging motion while the other player must clap their controller, as if they were catching a sword with their bare hands. Players take it in turns until one player fails to catch their opponent's sword.
- Table Tennis: A table tennis game in which players must listen to rhythmic audio cues to hit back a ping pong ball. Players can be perform lobs and smashes to alter the flow and try to throw off their opponent.
- Eating Contest: A single-player game which makes use of the right Joy-Con controller's IR motion camera. Players hold the controller a short distance from their mouth and make biting motions to try and eat as many sandwiches within the time limit.
Development
After Nintendo announced the game at the "Nintendo Switch" conference, Nintendo showed off six of their minigames to the public.[2] The game was also unveiled to show off Nintendo's Joy-Con capabilities, especially though "HD Rumble" and "IR scanners".[4]
Reception
Pre-release
Upon its initial trailer, several commentators have compared the game to the WarioWare series.[5][6] Upon playing the demo, Ben Skipper of International Business Times felt overwhelmed by the game's innuendos.[7]
Nintendo's decision to release the game separately from the system was criticized by several commentators, arguing that the game would be better off as a pack-in game, similarly to Wii Sports outside Japan at launch.[8][9][10]
