There are many Nintendo sequels fans are desperately hoping to see announced in the near future. Mario Kart 9, Super Mario Odyssey 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 3; but according to one leaker, one of Nintendo’s planned sequels is actually for 1-2-Switch, something that has fans scratching their heads.
The rumor comes from known leaker Zippo, who has regularly shared Nintendo information and predictions in the past and is considered a somewhat reliable source. They didn’t share any other details besides the sequel’s existence, such as a possible announcement date or title, but they are just as confused by the idea as everyone else.
Mario Kart 9 Rumored for Nintendo Direct Reveal
Zippo describes 1-2-Switch as one of the «most dull, lifeless, forgettable games» they’ve ever played, and there probably aren’t many people willing to leap to the game’s defense. A simple mini-game collection that launched alongside the Nintendo Switch in 2017, its gimmick was that players would rarely need to look at the TV screen and instead rely on audio cues and the rumble mechanic of the Joy-Con controllers to win.
While certainly novel, the game didn’t resonate particularly well with audiences and garnered mostly average reviews. It has an average Metacritic score of 58, with even its user score only at 4.8, although it did sell decently. As of 2019, it has pushed 3.18 million units.
Aside from a generally apathetic response from audiences, it’s difficult to imagine why anyone would pick up a 1-2-Switch sequel when arguably better party games like Mario Party Superstars and WarioWare: Get It Together! are now available for the Switch. However, it’s always possible that the sequel will be enough of a substantial improvement to warrant a purchase.
