1-2-Switch
1-2-Switch is a confusing game. On one hand, It looks like it has the potential to introduce players to Nintendo's new console in the same way Wii Sports invited a whole new demographic of players into the world of interactive entertainment. But on the other hand, it also has a game where you simulate milking a cow while you stare into your opponent's eyes.
These commercials show off some new minigames and demonstrate what may ultimately become its main selling point: making you are friends look like idiots. I'm optimistic about 1-2-Switch being a fun collection of Johan Sebastian Joust-style active games, but from a distance, and from playing it recently, it recently seems like it should be a pack-on game.
For our thoughts on getting hands-on time with 1-2-Switch at the recent Swtich event in New York, head here.
