Summer is all about enjoyment, parties, and relaxation. At least for those who can afford it. But even those who have to work hard during the hottest months of the year know the pleasures of this season, and that includes Nintendo. Just a few hours before their upcoming Nintendo Direct, they have released the debut trailer and more details about the recently announced Everybody 1-2-Switch!
With a recommended price of 30 euros, the game will consist of a series of mini-games that aim to create a festive atmosphere for players. It can be played by up to 8 players using the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers or up to 100 players with the mobile phone mode, making it a multiplayer-focused experience.
This is what they have tried to emphasize in their launch trailer, which, on the other hand, makes the game appear more like a series of Squid Game-like challenges than anything else. The presence of a strange horse-headed host, the ornate playing hall, and the charmingly bizarre nature of the game itself do not help in creating a traditional festive game atmosphere. However, these elements contribute to the overall unique experience of the game, making it a departure from the original 1-2-Switch, which lacked the same emphasis on multiplayer and its peculiar sense of humor.
In fact, it doesn’t seem like this version will fall into any of the pitfalls of its previous installment. With several games already announced, including some that require us to interact with our surroundings—for example, a game where we have to find something of the color shown on the screen—it appears that this is a refined and improved version, not solely defined by the gimmick of the original 1-2-Switch’s Joy-Con controllers. If true, this could make Everybody 1-2-Switch! the perfect party game for all occasions.
