Early on in the Switch's life we had The Jackbox Party Pack 3, a collection of quirky multiplayer games in which players can jump in and use their phones to play. It was well executed on Switch, adding another party game to the system's line-up.
A little while ago Jackbox Games confirmed that the Switch would catch up with releases of The Jackbox Party Pack and The Jackbox Party Pack 2; now they've been dated, due on 17th August.
It's worth noting that they won't be in a bundle but will be sold separately. Some of the games packed in will include YOU DON’T KNOW JACK 2015, Drawful, Fibbage 2, Earwax, Bomb Corp, and Word Spud.
Jackbox Games has also reiterated that The Jackbox Party Pack 4 will also come to the Switch in the Autumn / Fall.
Are you planning to pick up these games?

My friends love these games. I never quite got into them myself so I'm probably not going to pick them up.
Ive heard of them never actually played or seen it played. I am curious on how it plays tho
I definitely need to pick up one of these packs, unsure of which is overall the best though XD Glad to hear this studio is still continuously supporting Switch though!
If I didn't already have them then I would get them all, but I have all 3 + Drawful 2 already on PS4. That said, if these go on sale at some point, then I would be more tempted...
@NintenNinja16 - Depends what you prefer. I prefer (and would therefore personally recommend) Packs 2 and 3. If they decide to release Drawful 2, then I feel Pack 1 is pretty redundant by comparison, as the only remaining worthwhile game IMO is You Don't Know Jack (a classic quirky quiz show game), and while I enjoy it, it tends to be less of a hit with my friends.
To answer the question: No, I'm not. In general, party games are not my cup of tea. There are some exceptions, though, I suppose.
I'll be on that as soon as it releases. I've played the heck out of Jackbox Party Pack 3 with groups of friends and I'm itching for more.
I just want a brand new YDKJ. I want to hear more clever innuendos as questions
Never played any of these. Would anyone recommend these as a fun drinking game? And if so, which one is the best for that?
@wiggleronacid As far as drinking goes, last time I had friends over with booze we all really loved playing Earwax which is in Pack 2.
Is either pack good for just two players?
@MyNameIsRandy
I have Pack 3 and only one game is playable with 2 people.
Pack 1 has You Don't Know Jack which can even be played 1 player. I don't know anything else about the rest of the games on Pack 1&2.
Pack 3 is amazing with 3+ people though.
All of these are great for groups of 3 or more. Have so much fun with these over the holidays when my family gets together and yes, liquor will enhance the experience!
I already own the first three on PS4, so not sure if I'll jump to Switch for 4, though it ~is~ tempting to pick up all the games for Switch, just so I have more options for where I can play...
I love the games and love the idea BUT it's mostly fun with more than 3 players and not all my friends are familiar with the english language. It would be nice to have subtitles or even a full translation.
Picked up Party Pack 3....so I'll definitely be picking up 1 & 2. Already have Party Pack 1 on my bf's XBone but having all the Jackbox games on Switch makes it way more convenient for house parties, given the portable nature of the Switch! Way easier to carry the system and the dock to a friend's place than the XBone is.
These are great on PS4.
Drawful is my jam.
