Development
Development
In June 2022, a report by Fanbyte claimed that Nintendo EPD was developing a sequel to 1-2-Switch, tentatively titled Everybody's 1-2-Switch. The game was described as an online party game compatible with up to 100 players, inspired by the Jackbox Party Pack series. The change in scope from the first game was reportedly made so that the sequel did not harm the original game's sales. According to the report, the game did not resonate with playtesters in its target audience of families with children, who found its minigames tedious. NDcube co-developed the game with Nintendo EPD.

Reception
Everybody 1-2-Switch! received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. The game was recommended by 26% of critics according to OpenCritic. While it was praised for its lower price tag than its predecessor, the game received criticism for its reliance on multiplayer, with Nintendo Lifes Jim Norman saying the game "requires at least four players to get the most out of it" and "with a group of 10 or more willing friends, a lot of these games would be more enjoyable". Reviewers enjoyed the "mass multiplayer" for up to 100 players that Everybody 1-2-Switch! offered, with Giovanni Colantonio from Digital Trends saying it was an "ideal title for schools, youth groups, messy parties, and more." Nintendo Life criticised how "a lot of the games cover old ground" but praised the addition of using a smartphone as a controller, saying "the new mobile phone connectivity provides some different ways to play". The minigames received criticism for their lack of originality. Travis Northup of IGN said the minigames were "as uninspired as they come." Nintendo Life was less critical, admitting the games were "nothing new" but praised when they embraced "a WarioWare-esque weirdness and encourages you to laugh at everyone playing the game instead of thinking about the competition."
