Support NeoGAF

[Raide]

They're not, they're party games in the vein of Cards Against Humanity (just...much more family friendly.)

Well.....playing Quiplash with the Cards Against Humanity packs leads to some family unfriendly events haha.

 

[pirateluigi]

Definitely double dipping on this one. It's a perfect fit for the Switch.

 

[Tregard]

Just for the sake of debate:

Trivia Murder Party > Quiplash 2 > Fakin' It > Tee K.O. > Guesspionage

 

[RetroMG]

Quiplash and Trivia Murder Party are amazing. That's all you need to know.

 

[Effigenius]

Is this the switch's best multiplat? Sigh.....

 

[Fireblend]

Fuck yes. I love Jackbox Party Pack, and this one is tons of fun.

Trivia Murder Party <3

Love Tee K.O. as well; I always expect it to go badly whenever I introduce it because it takes a ton of time to get going, but it's always unexpectedly a hit.

 

[GulAtiCa]

YES! OH GOD YES!

My friends & I love this. This is perfect. Last time I wanted to play these games, I had to bring over my PS4 just to do so and hook it up. Will be so much easier on the Switch. Esp more so in an impromptu environment away from a TV.

 

[ChrisMahoney]

I figured. Their devs liked my tweet asking for it a while ago

 

[SatoAilDarko]

They should support offline local multiplayer with every player that has a switch. 8 switches can connect together locally and they all have touchscreens.

As a huge local multiplayer gamer Jackbox is the big local multiplayer franchise I have no interest in playing because of the whole creating online rooms thing.

I prefer having 8 buzzers for Buzz on PS2/PS3 and Scene It! on 360.

 

[Cepheus]

That's great! It's the only Jackbox game I don't have on Steam and I'm glad I held out now. I'll definitely be getting it.

You still need an internet connection to pull in content for the game.

Also you do know the Scene It buzzers worked on the Xbox 360 version of YDKJ, right?

 

[danm999]

This is a good fit for the Switch, could lead to interesting new modes.

 

[Ludist210]

Awesome! My family and friends loved Quiplash.

 

[mclem]

Just for the sake of debate:

Trivia Murder Party > Quiplash 2 > Fakin' It > Tee K.O. > Guesspionage

My family rather liked Guesspionage, more than Tee K.O, which is a bit too longwinded.

Never got around to playing Fakin' It.

No lies detected at the top end.

Just for the sake of debate:

Quiplash 2 > Fakin' It > Guesspionage > Tee K.O. > Trivia Murder Party

FTFY

FTFY

 

[Protome]

Just for the sake of debate:

Trivia Murder Party > Quiplash 2 > Fakin' It > Tee K.O. > Guesspionage

I'm amazed anyone likes Fakin' It. It's absolute trash, everything else in that pack is fantastic.

But maybe it's just because I had high expectations because I love hidden role board games, they just failed to pull it off in Jackbox form.

 

[Instro]

Sounds like shovelware, but since people seem excited I'm guessing it's not.

It's a good time for a party/get together. Too bad the device is not launching with any streaming apps, those plus this sort of stuff would probably go a long way to helping it catch on.

 

[Inferno313]

Oh shit, this is a perfect game for the Switch.

 

[DoubleYou]

Fuck yes.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Sounds like shovelware.

Omg no. No, man, no. No!

 

[Dartastic]

I'M GOING TO BUY THIS SHIT IMMEDIATLEY

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Oh shit

Oh shiiiiiiit

This is going to be EXCELLENT.

 

[Neoweee]

Sounds like shovelware, but since people seem excited I'm guessing it's not.

Easily among the best party games released on consoles/PC in the last decade, perhaps ever.

Just for the sake of debate:

Trivia Murder Party > Quiplash 2 > Fakin' It > Tee K.O. > Guesspionage

Maybe swap TKO and Fakin' It for me. Fakin It is more strategic than really casual play sessions allows. Guesspionage will be #1 among groups that like arguing about that kind of shit.

No drawful?

It got spun off into its own game. Drawful 2 is standalone.

 

[mrklaw]

No drawful?

 

[outunderthestars]

Shit. That might have just made me keep my preorder.

Sounds like shovelware, but since people seem excited I'm guessing it's not.

Seriously? It is one of the most amazing collection of party games I have ever played.

 

[Kiro]

Chance of JB1/JB2 coming as well? I'm a big fan of Fibbage.

 

[Weebos]

Fuck, game changer right here.

 

[gweemz]

Just for the sake of debate:

Trivia Murder Party > Quiplash 2 > Fakin' It > Tee K.O. > Guesspionage

I would say mine is Fakin it > trivia murder party = tee k.o. = quiplash 2 >>>> guesspionage

 

[Shaanyboi]

OH SHIT

Yeah okay I'll double dip. This will be perfect for when I travel back home.

 

[Steiner]

Forget 1-2 Switch, THIS will be the true Nintendo Switch party game to bring to get-togethers. Can't wait.

 

[Rezbit]

That's really awesome, perfect fit for the console.

 

[ShadowElliot]

Double-dipping for this! Love Jackbox games!

 

[Kibbles]

AWESOME I was just thinking this while playing one of the party packs at a friend's recently.

 

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

I wish I could get the shirt designer thing by itself.

For free.

So I can make shirts.

My "Space Cops Come and Try to Snatch My Space Crops" shirt is sorely unpublished.

 

[origamipirate]

Just for the sake of debate:

Trivia Murder Party > Quiplash 2 > Fakin' It > Tee K.O. > Guesspionage

These glimpses into other game groups are fascinating. My group pretty unanimously votes:

Trivia Murder Party > Tee K.O. > Quiplash 2 >>>>>>>>> Fakin' It = Guesspionage

Most game nights we don't even give Guesspionage or Fakin' It a go anymore.

 

[Neoweee]

Chance of JB1/JB2 coming as well? I'm a big fan of Fibbage.

Honestly, they should update their system into a single App, and each game/version just DLC to that single APP. I hope hope hope they do that kind of framework from the start on the Switch versions.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

This game I will definitely pick up on it!

 

[Dark Cloud]

Nintendo Switch is getting so many games!

I think the Switch has more games announced for it than what came out for the whole first year of the Wii U. Lol

 

[NimbusD]

This is the kind of party game I can get behind. Not 1 2 switch.

 

[ctfg23]

Nice. This game is perfect for the Switch.

 

[Ryde3]

Great idea! Awesome!

 

[jon bones]

this is perfect

agreed, jackbox really needs to be a service game

 

[OricWindstar]

I never even thought if this. Great idea. Game is super fun with the right group.

 

[chrominance]

Makes a ton of sense. I've always wanted to bring Jackbox with me to parties and gatherings outside my home and its game-heavy A/V setup, but the only real option was to bring a whole console with me or buy them on PC and put the games on a laptop. This seems like a much more convenient option.

The only thing is that this doesn't seem much more convenient than, say, a potential tablet version; the big advantage over a tablet would be plugging it into another TV but since you need the dock for that, that seems less likely to happen on a regular basis.

 

[Flip4k]

Definitely a good thing.

 

[NotLiquid]

This is one of those games that makes the concept of portable/home console so much more exciting to me.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I never delved into the jackbox games, how good are they?

 

[OnionPowder]

Very good with a group of people.

 

[Fireblend]

Outstanding with friends. The more friends the better it is.
