No, it isn't April Fools 2018...Nintendo has indeed just announced the official sequel to 1-2-Switch, its multiplayer launch title for the Nintendo Switch. Everybody 1-2-Switch has been fairly quietly revealed, with a release date set for June 30th. The store page for the game says you'll be able to play minigames in teams, using either Joy-Cons or smart devices. It also seems to have a focus on teamwork gameplay.

This is a repeat of the Switch's lifespan lmao

Good Zelda Breath of the Wild, Bad 1-2 Switch. (2017)

Good Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Bad Everybody 1-2 Switch. (2023)

Oh and speaking of the Switch, how is it able to manage this era of gaming if Sony and Microsoft are ahead of the game? They already have their latest consoles but Nintendo's still striving with the Switch. This is a genuine thought I've been having for a bit. Has Nintendo perfected hybrid gaming? Idk for sure, but I'm wondering if they're ever going to release a new console or something.

Nintendo does everything but release a new EarthBound game

 

[HarveyHouston]

...? I mean, why? Was the original not good enough? It's very much like making Splatoon 3 for the same platform when Splatoon 2 was already good enough.

Also, even though I know nothing of the cartoon, why did Nintendo use Bojack Horseman as the mascot?

The game nobody asked for

Exactly what I think about the Switch. Why are people calling for a next gen Switch if this one is being pretty successful? Besides, look at Tears of the Kingdom! How did they manage to make such a large open world game on this small console?

25 fps isn't shitty I assure you as I play it

My response to that is meh.

The first game really should have just been bundled with the Switch instead of being a separate purchase.

I feel like they're trying to replicate the success Wii Sports had that everyone wanted to try Wii Sports Resort and the Motion Plus.

Even Wii Play was better than 1-2-Switch, and the former came with another Wii remote and had a few decent games. 1-2 Switch was basically Wario Ware minigames without the graphics that forced you awkwardly make eye contact with someone.

An even better name than that is "Everybody gets fucked 1-2 switch."

Yeah, "Everybody Switch" (the 1-2 is tiny) sounds like something you'd call out at an orgy thrown by the Mad Hatter.

BoJack definitely describes the substance of the 1-2 Switch games.

Shovelware.

 

[Jayro]

What a shitty name. Totally missed an opportunity to call it 3-4-Switch!

Not interested. I want an Advance Wars remake.

It's been done for over a year now, they're just sitting on it because of the war in Ukraine.

 

[RogIThink]

I only have one question... why

The Nintendo goons need to be fed. They are running low on mushrooms...

Is that a mental asylum or something
