1-2-Switch, the Nintendo Switch mini-game collection, is reportedly getting a sequel.

That's according to previously reliable leaker Zippo, who posted on their blog this week claiming that a follow-up to the launch title is in development.

"1-2-Switch is one of the most dull, lifeless, forgettable games I have ever played, and yet, it's getting a sequel for some reason. It sold well, I think?" they wrote.

1-2-Switch was a minigame collection that highlighted the features of the joy-con controllers, including HD rumble. Minigames included things like shaking the controller to determine how many ice cubes were inside (as determined by rumble) and a wild west duel minigame.

The game was met with mixed to poor reviews, and its score currently sits at 58 on Metacritic.

Despite this, Nintendo sold 3.18 million copies of 1-2-Switch by the end of 2019, making it one of the best-selling games on the console at the time.

Insider Emily Rogers recently tweeted that she was "curious to see the critical reception to an upcoming casual game," adding: "I doubt this sequel will win over many new fans."

 
Nintendo sitting on IPs like Another Code, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Kid Icarus... and going for 1-2 Switch is disappointing, to put it nicely.
And I like fun&simple games. Wii Sports, Kororinpa... but dear god not a 1-2 Switch sequel.
 
it was a glorified phone app why are we gonna get another one. It wasn't worth 60 bucks in the first place! Just give me another wii sports game i don't care if its not on the wii just do it i'd much rather pay money for a real game.
 
Did 51 Worldwide Games sell well? Because I expect fewer sales than that.

Really pointless game to waste their time with.
