The Nintendo Switch finally launches tomorrow, alongside the much longer awaited and insanely anticipated game 1-2 Switch. For the sake of convenience we have scoured the interwebs and gathered up all the information you need to know about the hyped blockbuster produced by Super Mario Galaxy director Yoshiaki Koizumi.

Gameplay

1-2 Switch is a party game which requires nothing more than your imagination! Plus the Switch system, 2 Joy-Con controllers and at least one friend willing to play 1-2 Switch. Television is optional.

It’s kind of like what Bumpie’s Party was supposed to be but with Warioware sensibilities.

There are 28 minigames, shitting all over the paltry 5 in Wii Sports.

The game’s title is derived from the minigame “Counting Balls,” where the Joy-Con gives you the feeling that you’re holding balls in your hand and you have to guess whether it’s one or two. If you do not have any balls, play with your friend’s balls.

One of the games is based on milking cows, cornering the niche audience that is currently occupied entirely by NintendoDuo’s Mxy.

Almost every game requires prolonged eye contact, which will be terrifying for anyone who plays against NintendoDuo’s Kez as his eyes are slightly crossed.

The file size is 1.3 GB, which is insanely small for something so action-packed.
