1-2-Switch is one of the most divisive games in the Switch’s stunningly long catalog. As a launch title, it made sense: an opportunity for new adopters to get a feeling for what the Switch’s capabilities were. It was a party game that was playable by almost anyone and utilized so many functions of the Joycons, a controller that came hot on the heels of the WiiMote and the WiiU Gamepad. The concept was great: games that required all kinds of silly gestures and committing to enjoying a sort...
Everybody 1-2-Switch! is just a very difficult game to enjoy. Most of the minigames are boring, and you have little say over how or if you can even engage with them.

I knew the writing was on the wall when Everybody 1-2 Switch! was announced in the same month that it was released, with little fanfare from Nintendo. Everybody 1-2 Switch! is fun in the same way that watching a bad movie is fun. If you’ve got some good friends together and everyone’s in a silly mood, you might have a good time throwing on Everybody 1-2 Switch and having a laugh at the absurdity of it all. But after about 20 minutes of this, most sensible people will ask you to close the game and launch Mario Kart, Mario Party, or even Switch Sports before they sink more of their precious time into Everybody 1-2 Switch!
If you're looking for good party games on the Switch, you can do and have done better. If you're looking for good games on Switch for casual players or kids, you can do and have done better. If you're looking for good games on the Switch for multiple players...you get the idea. Everybody 1-2-Switch! is a game with no real reason to exist, and its lineup of mostly boring, overly simple, poorly-presented games fails to justify its existence. Moreso than its predecessor, you can easily skip this game, and your parties will be the better for it.
