Nintendo Switch Reveal: 9 Ups & 10 Downs

8. 1-2 Switch Looks Pretty Lame

1-2 Switch is a party game that was introduced by way of an immensely cheesy live-action trailer which emphasised the game's off-screen play, where players would compete face-to-face in a series of mini-games, such as quick-draw in the Wild West, and samurai sword fighting.

This is Nintendo clearly trying to recapture the Wii's casual party market, but as Nintendo's howlingly awful concept images of someone taking the Switch to a party reminded everyone, nobody's going to take a $300 device to a party when they're drinking.

It releases as a launch title, but honestly, the fact this isn't bundled with the console is a major misstep, and the notion of paying $60 for a game where you don't even look at the screen is difficult to reconcile.
