Seeker1-2-Switch
1-2-Switch 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. Despite its oddities and flaws, I have had so, so much fun playing and watching 1-2-Switch with a small group of friends that I can recommend it in that specific situation, but I don’t have much desire to go back.

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.

If there’s one word to sum up 1-2-Switch, it’s ‘inessential’. While Wii Sports and Nintendo Land felt like killer apps, and proof of concept for the consoles they helped launch, 1-2-Switch feels forgettable, shallow, and uninspired. It’s fun for a night or two, but after that you’ll probably want to 1-2-Switch it off.
