Its the type of game that showcases the hardware.

Its like a bunch of small demos, really, not a actual game.
Yes 60$ is alot for that.

It should have been free with every switch sold. (or it should have been like a 20$ title)

Maybe not too expensive for some but too expensive for me. Based on what I've seen, I'd pay $10, tops. Nintendo feels it's a full priced experience. More power to them. For me, they better make 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 Switch to get my $50.

For that price, I would hope we haven't seen a tenth of the mini-games included.

Very subtil Nintendo, its true all their ads show women playing 1 2 Switch ( like thé one where she agitates the controller to shake something and thé black Guy is there biting his finger looking really excitéd).

Im sûre this subliminal message will Work on thé public

Lol. All of the trailers had those "parts". In the reveal, you see a guy putting a gameslot in, and a splitsecond later you see a smiling girl leaning over to him like she wants something similar.

Whoever Nintendo hired for the marketing, they sure know their job .

Yeah they dis à good job on me, now i feel like ill bé cooler with à Switch outside than with any smartphone

Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m

Joy-Con Rotation is pretty much the only mini-game that looks half-decent and has some element of skill.

Why would you need a $300 handheld console + a $50 game to play a few cheap party games?

If you are into these mini games... why not just use the device you already have in your pocket?

A lot of the "1 2 switch" games wouldn't need a device at all. 2 people can have a "gun duel" with their fingers and the rest of the group can score who has won... wouldn't that be even more fun instead of having an electronic "judge"?
