Another launch title, 1, 2 Switch is essentially a party game that encourages face-to-face gaming without reliance on a screen. The game will have players take one Joy-Con controller each and allow them to play a host of of fun games. The example shown by Nintendo was a dueling scenario, where players would use their Joy-Con controllers as guns and see who has the fastest fingers. 

This title is currently available for preorder from Amazon UK for £34.99 and from Amazon US for $49.99.
