Review – I Really Don’t 1-2"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
For a hybrid console that’s meant to make you the life of the party \u2014 as those initial Switch ads from back in 2017 would have you believe \u2014 it’s quite baffling that Nintendo has decided to put out a painfully mediocre party game in the form of Everybody 1-2 Switch! As someone who’s a bit of a 1-2 Switch apologist, the 2023 follow-up is uninspiring, boring, and even an occasional source of nightmare fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, I had spent all week sitting on the fence, trying to decide if I wanted to purchase Mario Party Superstars for a friendly get-together I was planning for the end of the month. When I was presented with the opportunity to review Everybody 1-2 Switch!, though, I thought, “Alright, maybe this could be a fun party game to play with my friends, and I could save a little bit of money,” and proceeded to boot it up. Long story short: by the end of the first session, I thought, screw it, and instantly purchased Mario Party Superstars instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The original 1-2 Switch received a lot of flak, but as one of the Switch’s launch titles, it served as a decent tech demo that really showcased what the console and its innovative Joy-Cons were capable of. It was a little overpriced, sure, but it had the element of novelty on its side, and it also served as a distraction that could keep your party guests entertained for an hour or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s been six years since that original Switch launch, however, and Everybody 1-2 Switch! feels like an archaic relic of the past that has no place in 2023 as a modern party game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
