1, 2, Switch looks like it should be a Switch pack-in title, but it isn’t

Nintendo has a history of bundling software with its recent systems, notably Wii Sports with the Wii and Nintendo Land on Wii U, but it looks like there will be no such bundled game at the launch of Nintendo Switch.

1, 2, Switch looks like it could have filled the position of bundled game quite nicely. The party game is designed to get players looking at each other, not the screen.

“Bring the action and fun into the real world as you face off in wild-west duels, cow-milking competitions, a copycat dance-off, and more,” explains Nintendo. “Each game takes advantage of the Joy-Con controller features of the Nintendo Switch system in different ways. While the action unfolds off-screen, the audience watches the players themselves instead of the screen.”

1, 2, Switch is the cheapest of the Switch launch titles, priced £39.99 at retailers.

Features:

Face-to-Face Play – Look at your friends rather than the screen as you compete in a new style of video game party full of fast and fun face-to-face games. Stare down your opponent in a wild-west duel, mimic your opponent’s poses in a copycat dance-off, or rally for victory in a heated table tennis face-off.

Anywhere with anyone – Bring fun and surprise to barbecues, house parties, or wherever you travel by using the built-in stand of the Nintendo Switch system. The Nintendo Switch system comes bundled with a pair of Joy-Con controllers, allowing the party to start with just one system and the game for instant multiplayer fun.

Intuitive and simple controls using Joy-Con features – Simple rules make it easy for anyone to play and fun for everyone to watch. Each player holds a single Joy-Con, and different games use different controller features, such as motion control, HD rumble, or the IR Motion Camera.
