Just saying man, if he's gonna say A Quarter A Game, you might as well clarify how long those games actually are.

I think this game looks like crap but this argument is uh...
Hasn't reception from people who tried it out been more positive than not? I'm in the camp that doesn't see the appeal here, but maybe it can strike a cord with its intended audience. Though with how little depth each game seems to have compared to Wii Tennis or Bowling it's hard to see people playing it a lot even if they do enjoy it.
Man, just get a big party board game like Werewolf. It'll be more fun and a hell of a lot cheaper.
People will actually want to play it.

The Wiimote was used much more by third parties than Nintendo. Kororinpa, Pandora's Tower, Eledees/Elebits, Trauma Center, etc. Nintendo mostly used the Wiimote to mimic the NES pad.

Some babies really died because parents didnt know better (babies can get annoying when they cry nonstop for hours)
Dont forget boom blox
If they did and it's actually a very serious story about how some guys wife died for losing a game or something that would be amazing.
You learn something every day!
I wouldn't want to stand in line next to you...
Ok, sure, valid reasons for it not to be a pack-in, but $50? I'm usually on the other side of this argument but for a game that doesn't use any actual on screen graphics, aside from prerecorded footage, and a tech demo for the new joycons, this should have at least been $20-$30. I'm a sucker for launch titles no matter what whacky ideas they have, but $50 for a pantomime game seems a little outlandish. At that point, I would have just prefered it to be a pack-in.
Also, 24 mini-games?! Man, for what that game is, and what you do, I expected 50+
I'm sure it's something well known.
There's a reason why they included this warning in the first place.
at the very least it should be free with a set of joycons ala wii play

Again, isn't this game ENTIRELY 2 PLAYERS? Why sell it with extra Joy-cons then?

A Mario Party game has more than double of that amount. And don't say quality over quantity because most of these mini games look more like simple tech demos. Nintendo could use these concepts for a less barebones game

I still don't get the ping pong game...
At first I thought it should be a pack in too but then after seeing streams of the game I would only play it once or twice anyways. At least Wii Sports and Nintendoland were genuinely good games, 1 2 Switch is interesting conceptually but it just looks like half baked garbage to me. Personally I'd rather have a higher quality game packed in.
That's the whole point of the game. anyways it's interesting that this game has been well revived so far from hands on players
All the games we've seen so far require 2 Joycons max. How would it make sense for them to bundle the game with Joycons when the console itself already comes with the required amount?
Is one of the mini games 'guess how many ice cubes are in the JoyCon?'
I've heard it is - or rather marbles not ice

So how many of these games did you play?

should be like 50 if they wanna charge $50 for it
Why not? It would be super fun... ahahah of course I would just play stuff that does not requires you to move around...

If it has more than 20 games I'll be satisfied. Paid $85 for all 5 Breath of the Wild Amiibo and 1-2 Switch thanks to Best Buy GCU and Visa checkout deal.

Two people being drunken idiots while everyone else laughs at them is how most of our shindigs go. It's fun. We used to have a blast with Warioware.
And we're doing Werewolf and stuff too, complete with bonfire. I just like to provide variety for everyone.
Honestly if it WAS Warioware I'd be super interested.

This doesn't look like it'd be fun playing alone...
Most of these, if not all, is not meant to be played alone.

I liked Feel The Magic but it was less expensive and wasn't multiplayer only (mostly?). There's no reason to play 1 2 Switch if you don't have friends over, and there doesn't seem to be anything resembling unlocks with it (which I think even Magic had). For $20 I'd buy this but it'd mostly be to test out HD Rumble.

How many marbles did the baby eat?

Nope
Huh, that's cool. Way more than I expected. Thought it was six lol. In retrospect, I guess they never did say anything final during the presentation. Definitely makes this a more exciting / viable purchase. I can easily see playing this along with drawful, etc on one of "those" nights.
My problem with that is that the games are too simple. Is it cool to roll the joycon around in your hand and experience marbles rolling around? Sure... for the first time or two. But it's the game serving the tech rather than the other way around.
Sure. But it could be pretty great for drinking games.
