The original Wii Sports' baseball has not returned and boxing is sort of replaced by a 1v1 sword-fighting game called Chambara (which debuted in Resort).

Nintendo Switch Sports also has a soccer mode that supports motion-controlled shootouts (if you strap a Switch controller to your leg) or team-based soccer games that require stick and button controls (motion-sensitive kicking will be added later).New highlights: the game's bewilderingly fast 1v1 badminton, which has a subtle fatigue system that incentivizes ending rallies quickly, and the slightly more chill volleyball, which worked well in 2v2.Tennis had more nuanced motion controls, reminiscent of 2009's Wii Sports Resort. We tried it at a showcase last week, and found it intuitive and delightful. There's online play and expanded living room options that support four people bowling simultaneously (nearby furniture beware). But Nintendo Switch Sports offers more options for multiplayer than the 2006 original.


As before, players wave a controller around to swing a racket, bowl a strike and so on.A successor to 2006’s 82-million-copy-selling Wii Sports is coming to the Nintendo Switch.ĭriving the news: Nintendo Switch Sports will be released on April 29, bundling a suite of motion-controlled games including tennis, bowling and volleyball. Anyone who swung a Nintendo Wii controller to play virtual tennis or to bowl should warm their shoulders for a comeback.
