Is 1-2-Switch for Switch what Wii Sports was for Wii?

Mini-games designed to show off the new Joy-Con controllers.
Mike Holmes 13 January 2017

One of the most prominent games to feature during the Switch reveal earlier this morning was 1-2-Switch, a collection of mini-games designed to showcase the capabilities of the new Joy-Con controller. It makes use of all features like the HD rumble, motion control and the IR motion control.

During the trailer shown by Nintendo we got to see people shooting at each other, playing guitar, milking cows, playing table tennis and plenty more.

It looked like the kind of party game that Nintendo would normally bundle in with a console, but it looks like Switch will launch without a game in the box. Still, for those that grab a copy, 1-2-Switch looks like it will offer some entertaining moments.

Could this be the game that sells the Switch to the masses much like Wii Sports sold the Wii?
