According to the eShop description, you can use Joy-Con controllers or smart devices, with certain games only available in smart device mode.
As for what games you can play, there aren’t a ton of details. There’s everything from “balloons to aliens,” with a “mix” of games and modes. And also, whatever this horse-head guy is up to.
Players can split up into teams and compete, seeing who can win a certain number of games first. There are also some variations to add more challenge or rules, too.
Switching it up
While the actual announcement was a little out of the blue, we did hear about this sequel through areport last year. It was claimed to be in development, would include games like musical chairs and Bingo, and was also apparently not doing well in internal play-tests.
Now, at least, it seems like Nintendo is pushing this one out the door. Though it’s not really getting the pomp and circumstance you’d expect for a new release. Either way, looks like Switch parties will have something new to do at the end of the month.
It’s interesting that phones are playing a role too, as the original1-2 Switchwas a showcase for the Joy-Cons themselves. But at a lower price and with more readily available controllers than just Joy-Cons, we’ll see how this one fares on June 30.
