1-2 Switch
Launching alongside the original Nintendo Switch in 2017, 1-2 Switch remains a shining example of the Joy-Con’s capabilities, showing off its impressive HD Rumble feature and precise gyroscope.
However, with the lack of both HD rumble and detachable Joy-Cons on the Switch Lite, 1-2 Switch will be completely unplayable for Lite users when they unbox their new console on Sept. 20.
1-2 Switch’s entire mini-game lineup will be impossible to play without extra hardware that is not included with the Nintendo Switch Lite.
Similarly to Super Mario Party, in order to enjoy 1-2 Switch on a Lite, it will require players to own the standalone set of Joy-Cons while using the Lite as their display. A combination that will severely diminish the atmosphere for groups that want to play together.
Containing only a 5.5-inch screen, the Switch Lite is likely not the best viewing experience for anyone that is not dead center of the device.
Although it is technically possible to play this game, 1-2 Switch is a title that is better suited for the original Switch.
