Proving, yet again, that 1 2 Switch should have been a pack-in game and nothing more.

Surely Nintendo would have 0 issues eating the development cost of it, if it sold more consoles.
It's just mind boggling that it's a stand-alone title.

They will probably pack in 1 2 Switch for the holidays to pretend they are doing a price drop.

More people have purchased a vita than a wiiu so it stands to reason shovel knight would be on there since the developer is covering all possible bases.

1-2-Switch is going to flop, but Jackbox will cover that nongamer-friendly party genre way better anyway.

1-2 Switch is going to do fine. A large part of their advertising is for that game. They are targeting 20 somethings that actually have friends. That's a lot of people. Just not the hard core gamers.

I'm a 20 something and my friends are hardcore gamers and we are gonna play 1-2-Switch because being forced to make jackoff motions with vibrating feedback is funny as poo poo.

So many games coming out for the Switch i'm keen for now, pre-order was a good idea

Yeah I'm pretty happy with Zelda (for solo gaming) and 1,2,Switch (for rooftop parties) on launch day. Then Mario Kart in April. Then Arms. Then Splatoon 2. Maybe one more before Mario for the holidays.

If these games all came out on launch day I'd probably still only buy two. So it was a good move to keep the steady stream going the rest of the year.

It makes sense. If you're out on the road you're going to have to tether to your phone if you want to play online matches.

Phone basically acts as a microphone so they don't need to add that hardware to the Switch itself.

I do, but they're bluetooth and I have no idea whether the switch will support bluetooth headsets even if it has the capability to do so, like the PS4. I'm also not trying to defend nintendo's decision, just offer an explanation.

It's also one game out of a few in the Jackbox. I've played one and watched some of the others. They are very good.

It's a lower tier jackbox game imo. Its like a more streamlined, creative a2a/CAH-alike. Its much better than those games, but out of the third jackbox i like Fakin it and Tee KO the most. Drawful is probably the best one, but its not in the third.
