Pastel Joy-Cons, ‘Everybody 1-2-Switch!’ game coming June 30

Banner: Support Extra Life @ Dungeon Masters Guild

Nintendo tonight shadow-dropped the announcement that the long-rumored party game Everybody 1-2-Switch! will go on sale June 30 for $29.99.

Wanna party? Break out the Nintendo Switch system and laugh it up at your next game night!

Mix up your next get-together with the Everybody 1-2-Switch! game. Grab some Joy-Con controllers* or smart devices for team-based games that are easy to set up and feature everything from balloons to aliens, and more! People at your next party can get moving and show off their teamwork in this multiplayer mashup.

A mix of games and modes to keep you on your toes!

Use Joy-Con controllers or smart devices, team up, and let the games begin. Split into teams and see which group can win a certain number of games first. Many games have several variations that change up the rules or add extra challenge!

The game, of course, is a sequel to Nintendo Switch launch title 1-2 Switch, which served as a showcase for the system’s unique Joy-Con controllers but wasn’t what you could call a blockbuster title. But pre-orders are available now if you’re so inclined.

Speaking of Joy-Cons …

Nintendo also Thursday night announced two new pairs of pastel-colored Joy-Con controllers out the same day: purple and green, and pink and yellow. Expect each set to cost the customary $79.99.

With The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom finally released, it’s easy to a low-key announcement of something no one asked for like this as fuel to torch the aging but still obviously capable Switch hardware. Just remember: Metroid Prime 4 is still out there …
