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.

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.
