![]() ![]() There are a few games that are mildly interesting though, such as a phone one where you have to hunt around the room to find a match for a colour displayed on-screen, that you have to identify with your camera. ![]() It’s all amusingly physical but having to rely on hearing the sound of a shuriken being flicked at you is not very practical. Some continue the original’s ill-advised reliance on audio (given these are supposed to be played at parties), with one where you play as a samurai with a sword who has to block shuriken as they’re fired at you by other players creeping around you in a circle. a complete rip-off of a regular from Mario Party) and another where you’re trying to creep past an on-screen child and have to freeze when they turn around – like Squid Game without the machineguns. Especially as there are not only less games than before but a lot of them are less entertaining and inventive, even if some are designed to be played by dozens of people at a time.Ī lot of the mini-games can be used with either a Joy-Con or a mobile phone but some of the more traditional ones include inflating a balloon so that it gets to the perfect size without bursting (i.e. It’s clearly meant as filler for Nintendo’s thinning release schedules but even in that context, and despite the low price tag, its mere existence is baffling.

It’s widely assumed they’ll do that early next year but, as anyone knows, it’s not wise to assume anything about Nintendo. It’s now over six years since the launch of the Switch and as its release schedules slow down it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Nintendo is getting ready to announce its successor.
