A quick reaction HD rumble game

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/43933/1-2-switch-announced

The new Joy-Con controllers and their HD Rumble will be put to work in 1-2 Switch.

Touted as a game that plays with face-to-face interaction, 1-2 Switch is a two-player local game of quick reaction. Each player will have one Joy-Con, and various games such as gunfights, rock-paper-scissors and more can be played.

Designed to be an icebreaker for parties, 1-2 Switch will launch March 3 along with the Switch console.

"You can play 1-2 Switch at parties."

No one will play this at parties.

I'm looking at the site for this and I still don't quite get what it even is.  There's no screenshots, just shots of people in costume looking at each other.  In real life those costumes won't be there so it's kind of an odd way to promote it.  And "don't look at the screen" so the system just yells at me the whole time?  Is there any way to play it single player?  If I don't look at the screen why do I need this as a videogame?  Can't my friends and I just mime milking cows while someone else keeps score without having to drop $300 on a videogame system?

This gives me a Wii Music vibe.  It's the same sort of dumbed down novelty "game" that has such simple gameplay that you wonder what Nintendo thinks of the buying public.  Like I can't imagine adults not getting incredibly bored of this almost immediately.  Wii Music seemed like something with the simplicity of a toddler's game while being aimed at a casual adult audience and that's why it was a flop.  This game is going to bomb hard.  Are they honestly going to charge money for this or is it a pack in?

If you're not interested in 1-2 Switch, why are you even checking out the website? Did you really go out of your way just to trash the ga- you know what? I'm going to stop questioning this.

Karen: That's a great idea! We can use 1-2-Switch as a drinking game and play it there!

Charge money. It's supposed to be $49.99 US from what I heard.
