With “Nintendo Switch Sports” it’s all about fiddling in front of your own television. In addition to classics such as tennis or bowling, football is also part of the game.
“Wii Sports” was once supposed to bring the console’s new controllers closer as a free supplement. With its simple gameplay, the title drew friends and family to the console together. “Nintendo Switch Sports” now wants to build on this success in the current generation of consoles.
Two of the most popular sports of the time, tennis and bowling, are returning. In addition, the sword fight already represented in “Wii Sports Resort” is part of the game. With football, volleyball and badminton, three new disciplines are on offer.
Virtual penalty in front of the TV
It is controlled with the joycons of the Nintendo Switch. Nothing has changed in terms of gameplay compared to its predecessor. The movements of the individual sports are imitated with the controllers, for example by swinging tennis or badminton rackets or throwing bowling balls. In soccer, you can even use your own foot to shoot with the included leg loop for the joycons.
“Nintendo Switch Sports” will probably be the most fun in multiplayer mode. In front of your own screen, several players can play against each other or in teams for victory, each with a joycon. But the online mode is also worthwhile: As you climb the rankings, new outfits or sports equipment can be unlocked.
Sporty gaming fun with “Nintendo Switch Sports”
As far as movement goes, Nintendo Switch Sports won’t be able to replace a full training session on the tennis court or soccer field. But the game is definitely a good substitute for an entertaining, fun competition in your own living room. You don’t have to break a sweat – but you can.
In general, “Nintendo Switch Sports” 2022 is a real tip for Switch owners. Otherwise, there are various other highlights for the console this year.
