1-2 Switch is a party game consisting of several mini-games made with the unique intention of not looking at a screen while playing, but instead at your opponent. Each of these mini-games shows off the unique features found in the Swtich's JoyCon controllers, such as the IR camera, motion sensors, and what Nintendo is calling "HD Rumble" for object and depth recognition. Some of these mini-games include an eating contest, a western-style quick draw, and swinging or catching a samurai sword.
