Nintendo has dropped a new, three-minute video showcasing gameplay of its the somewhat-surprising release of Everybody 1-2 Switch, which was only announced earlier this month but is already just over a week away from launch.
The video features 16 “content creators” from around the world sharing in the fun of using both Joy-Con controllers and their smartphones to tackle Everybody 1-2 Switch’s selection of wild and wacky minigames. There’s some… interesting-looking stuff in there, like a game where 100 people attempt to signal visiting aliens through ritualistic chanting. That one’s sure to be a hit at your kids’ next birthday party.
Nintendo has described a little more of what players can expect from this sequel to the copy of 1-2 Switch that I used to stash my still have in a cupboard somewhere, which launches very soon on June 30th. You’ll be able to:
- Snap photos in the real world with smart device cameras to match a trending colour in a game of Color Shoot
- Work as a team to pump up a balloon as big as possible without popping it in Balloons
- Put your teamwork to test in a game of Ice Cream Parlor, where you’ll be keeping track of your customers’ next ice cream orders
- Test your wits (and reaction time) by answering quickly in Quiz Show where the winner can be decided by mere milliseconds. You and your guests can even create and play custom quizzes
- Relax with a classic party game, Bingo Party, but with a new twist – playable on smart devices
- And much more
Alongside the game, Nintendo is also dropping two new pairs of gorgeous, pastel-coloured Joy-Con controllers, which you can pre-order here.
Take a look at the video below and see for yourself the kind of enormous physical space and out-of-work actors in cheap horse head costumes you’ll need to get the most out of Nintendo’s next big first-party release:
