These days, it’s very rare for a game to be announced without a trailer or a press release. It’s even more rare when it’s a first-party Nintendo Switch game, but that’s exactly what happened with Everybody 1-2-Switch! The game was basically announced on Twitter last night and even its description on the Nintendo eShop is a bit light:
Mix up your next get-together with the Everybody 1-2-Switch!™ game. Grab some Joy-Con™ controllers* or smart devices** for team-based games that are easy to set up and feature everything from balloons to aliens, and more! People at your next party can get moving and show off their teamwork in this multiplayer mashup.
A mix of games and modes to keep you on your toes!
Use Joy-Con controllers or smart devices, team up, and let the games begin. Split into teams and see which group can win a certain number of games first. Many games have several variations that change up the rules or add extra challenge!
The original 1-2-Switch was a launch title and was essentially created to show off the capabilities of the Joy-Cons. It is interesting, that the sequel will allow other players to join in from smart devices, similar to the experience offered by Jackbox Party games.
But considering it’s priced at $29.99 and was quietly announced on social media, we’re keeping our expectations low for Everybody-1-2-Switch!
