Nintendo detailed two of the modes that are included in 1-2-Switch today on its Japanese blog.
First, we have a brief update on Shuffle mode. Mini-games are picked randomly here. Players can also make it so that five mini-games are randomly picked.
1-2-Switch also features Team Match mode, which is recommended if you have a large group of players. The group will be split into two teams and can compete in various mini-games.

FIFA footage from Switch ad not necessarily representative of final game
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 4 Comments
Nintendo put up several Japanese Switch ads a few hours ago. One of these included a commercial featuring FIFA 18.
Before we start analyzing what was shown and comparing it to other versions, there is something important to point out. Nintendo briefly included a bit of text saying that the game is still in development, and could be changed before release. That means we may have to wait and see what FIFA 18 truly looks like on Switch.
Thanks to ben for the tip.

Update 3 (2/14): The Zelda: Breath of the Wild Collector’s Edition guide is now discounted by $20 on Amazon Canada. The standard one is $13 off.
Update 2 (2/12): On Amazon US, the Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide has been discounted by $16 (standard one is $10 off). Amazon Canada discounted the guide by $9 (standard one is about $4 off). If you already pre-ordered, you should automatically get the lower price.
Update: These guides are also up on Amazon Canada.
Original: Amazon is now taking pre-order for the Zelda: Breath of the Wild guides. They can be found here. Amazon has the Collector’s Edition and standard versions.
When the guides were announced awhile back, there were supposed to be three versions. We haven’t heard anything about a third version in recent weeks though, so there may only be just two in the end (collector’s and standard). If a third version does pop up, we’ll let you know.
