Everybody 1-2-Switch!
Gameplay
Everybody 1-2-Switch! is a sequel to the 2017 video game 1-2-Switch.[1] It features 17 team-based minigames,[2][3] each with multiple variants.[4] Minigames are hosted by a man with a cartoon horse head known as MC Horace.[5][6] The game can be controlled using both smartphones and the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con controllers. Certain minigames can only be played using smartphones, while others can only be played using Joy-Con.[7] The game supports up to 8 players using Joy-Con controllers, and up to 100 players can play using smartphones.[8] Everybody 1-2-Switch! features a "Quiz Party" mode, which allows players to create custom questions for a trivia game.[4][9]
Development
In June 2022, a report by Fanbyte claimed that Nintendo EPD was developing a sequel to 1-2-Switch, tentatively titled Everybody's 1-2-Switch.[10] The game was described as an online party game compatible with up to 100 players, inspired by the Jackbox Party Pack series.[11] The change in scope from the first game was reportedly made so that the sequel did not harm the original game's sales.[12] According to the report, the game did not resonate with playtesters in its target audience of families with children, who found its minigames tedious.[13][14] NDcube co-developed the game with Nintendo EPD.[15]
Release
Everybody 1-2-Switch! was announced on June 1, 2023.
