Mini-games exclusive to Joy-Cons include Samurai Sword Fight, Balloons, Relay Race, Hip Bump and Joy-Con Hide-and-Seek. For Smart Devices, there’s Auction, Bingo, Color Shoot and Ice Cream Parlor. Finally, for mini-games controlled with Joy-Cons or Smart Devices, you get Quiz Show, Ninjas, UFOs, Squats, Kitchen Timer, Statues, Jump Rope and Musical Chairs.

Overall, there’s a healthy amount of variety with support for two to eight players in Joy-Con Mode. Everybody 1-2-Switch! releases on June 30th for Nintendo Switch. It was rumored last year and reportedly faced an overwhelmingly negative reception from playtesters. Whether the extra time has helped remains to be seen, so stay tuned for more details before its release.

Everybody 1-2-Switch! has a range of mini-games and challenges, like Color Shoot for taking photos in the real world to match the color in-game. Balloons has a team pumping a balloon as much as possible without it bursting, and Ice Cream Parlor, where teams work together to manage orders of ice cream.

Other mini-games include Bingo Party and Quiz Show, and you can experience different variations and change the rules. In addition to supporting two to eight players in Joy-Con Mode, there’s also Smart Device mode which allows up to 100 players. It’s intriguing if nothing else, but we’ll have to wait and see how it pans out. Stay tuned in the coming weeks.

Oddly enough, Nintendo didn’t specify which games are included (aside from some that feature balloons and aliens). Some of them have variations with rule changes and additional challenges, so there’s that. It weighs 3.3 GB and supports both Joy-Con controllers and other smart devices.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the rumored sequel to 1-2-Switch (called Everybody’s 1-2-Switch) that was in development limbo. It was meant for up to 100 players and involved using phones. Even the anthropomorphized horse, who serves as the host, has carried over. So what’s the problem?

The response from playtesters was reportedly “overwhelmingly negative,” to the extent that even families and kids, the alleged target audience, called it “boring” and its games “tedious.” Time will tell how it’s changed, so stay tuned for more details.
