Nintendo Switch Sports

I think Nintendo Switch Sports is a cool, but rather bare-bones game for the whole family. The 6 sports that Nintendo Switch Sports has are all fun to play. However, the controls sometimes leave something to be desired and not every sport is equally exciting.

Fun new sports The 6 sports that Nintendo Switch Sports has to offer are: football, volleyball, sword fighting, bowling, tennis and badminton. Where football, volleyball and bowling are really the best sports. I expected more from badminton and tennis. Football is really fun to play, especially with 2 players. Tie the Leg Strap around your leg and play a game of football together or shoot a series of penalties. Volleyball and bowling is exactly what you expect and is a guaranteed success at any party. Tennis and badminton are very similar, so that the sports quickly become repetitive. Finally, there's sword fighting, where you have to quickly anticipate your opponent and block attacks. All sports are fun to play, but there are very few of them. Nintendo has announced that it will support the game for a very long time after launch, for example, an update for football will be released in the summer and golf will be added in the fall.

Variation in the sports Each sport also has separate modes. For example, go bowling with obstacles and time your throw just right for a nice score. Try different types of swords in sword fighting or go penalty shootout with soccer. These variations do help in keeping the game fresh, you will certainly fill an evening with all sports. Plus, you compete online against other players in the Pro Leagues or just for fun. So you don't always have to invite your entire group of friends. A quick game of online bowling is easily arranged.

Pick up and play All the sports in Nintendo Switch Sports are quite simple to master. Every time you start a sport for the first time, you get a detailed explanation. But even if you don't have the explanation, the sports can be understood fairly quickly. The controls are nice and accessible and get easier as you play. Sometimes it is noticeable that the movements are sometimes not completely registered, especially with tennis and badminton that is quite frustrating.

Have fun playing

Expected more from the game. After looking at a few reviews, I thought give it a go. Once playing, I liked the game less. Wii Sports had all kinds of nice extras, but despite new techniques, Nintendo doesn't know how to make it better than the retro Wii Sports
