Sure but the problem I have with it is that it seems like this is Nintendo trying to duplicate Wii Sports in the sense of having people pick up the console and do wacky-look-goofy-motion-control-games with their family.

That worked for the Wii because Wii Sports was a pack-in. This costs $50 and looking at the types of games you can get for that amount of money vs this is a valid thing to criticize. This is like a collection of dollar mobile games with waggle controls :negative:

I finally get this game. This is the mandatory party game, where you bring the Switch sans dock to your nerd friends party, and play lame drinking games with it. This worked really well with Game & Wario's Worlds and Pictionary. While Game & Wario flopped much like this game will, it still needs to exist.

Game & Wario at least had that weird charm too.

Are they going to show Mario Odyssey gameplay today?

How was the HD rumble thing?

Considering when they talked about the ice thing in the video I was like "lol what".....it's actually fantastic. There's a 1-2-Switch game where you gotta guess how many balls are inside a box by "feeling" with the Joy-Con (I'm describing that badly but basically the idea is the J-C is a box with balls inside and you're turning it to feel the vibration of them moving around) and it works immensely well.

As a pack-in or a $10-20 digital release I think this is fine. At $50 it's an insult.

Almost all of these style of games sold when they were either pack-ins or were bundled with something (controller, motion+, etc.) I could see this selling if it were bundled with a JoyCon or two, but as a standalone?

I bought Wii Play Motion and Flingsmash because they came with controllers. I would have bought this if it came with the Joycons for $70

They should scratch the innuendo, and just make it a sex party game. Sucking dicks, jerking them off. I'd pay... 25 bucks for that.

Wait is 1-2-Switch seriously a full game? gently caress that. It would be a perfect bundled in party game but it definitely isn't worth full price. Milking was hilarious though especially with how it encourages you to look into each other's eyes.

ARMS was also a lot of fun but pretty much felt like a party game too. SnipperClips is cool and adorable.

Wii Sports was also fairly satisfying to play too. Tennis and Bowling, in particular, I had a ball with and they were things that you could actually get appreciatively good at, on top of the fact that WiiSports tracked your overal performance AND had Mii integration.

I'm not sure how you can get "good" at Eating Contest. Gotta work up that BPS I guess?

1-2-Switch really needs Lever Simulator, where you pull two large levers back and forth repeatedly with one joy-con in each hand

This is a good question.

Buy a used Wii U with a pro controller. You should be able to snag one for about $100. Then buy Zelda from BB or Amazon using a Gamer Club membership at BB, or Prime on Amazon, and get the game for $47.99. You will be playing Zelda for under $150 my friend.

But surely IF the Switch takes off I'll be hosed?

Wii Music I actually think is unfairly mocked because I think, to a newcomer, they'd get it immediately, it's the kind of game I actually think would have worked just as well as a pack-in, but the problem was they marketed it as this big new game after Wii Sports already was a phenomenon, and they made the mistake of demoing it live (well, personally I dont think it was a mistake because it's one of my favorite Youtube videos ever)

1 2 Switch though, I just dont get how you have a launch title for your new system that emphasizes LOOKING AWAY FROM THE SYSTEM

Not really. If you can find a Wii U for $100 I'd recommend it to anyone, even though it's dead. It still has about a dozen incredible games, most of which are like $20 or $30 retail now. Like, I bought a PS4, and only ended up with maybe a dozen games worth the purchase to me. At this point in the PS4's lifespan, it's nearly dead to me. The only game of 2017 that I'm looking forward to is Persona 5. Maybe Horizon.

Hope you like platformers though because half of those dozen incredible games are platformers.

Honestly, I'm disappointed in 1-2-Switch but it's the only thing they showed off that doesn't look solid.

The launch isn't mind blowing, but solid.
