Summary

Get moving in Nintendo Switch Sports with Soccer, Volleyball, Bowling, Tennis, Badminton, and Chambara (swordplay) using Joy-Con controllers!

Controls are intuitive, so you can hit the court (or lanes, or field, or arena) and get started. With controlled motions you can curve your bowling ball, add spin to a tennis shot, or even use a Joy-Con with the included Leg Strap accessory to kick the ball in a Soccer Shoot-Out. Family and friends can join in on the fun on the same system or online. Plus a seventh sport is planned to be added via a free update this fall; get ready to Golf!

Playing the tennis and bowling game modes don’t exactly bring anything particularly new to the table, but it’s hard not to let muscle memory kick in after an extended period away. Volleyball and badminton also make for a grand entrance that are suitable additions to a bag filled with varied game modes.

Also, it's not fair that in online tennis, you sometimes match up with 2 real people vs just you.

The environment and theming is bland and generic, the new characters look like they were ripped from a mobile game. The controls are way worse than previous installments. The charm and atmosphere from the past games are completely gone and washed out with an uninspired modern theme with no character at all. The game doesn't even have half as many sports as the last game. It clearly was unfinished and just pushed out early without care. The graphics are overly simplified and the sound design is way less satisfying. Not worth playing over any wii wports games.

Switch sports is barebones, lacks innovation and somehow ends up a lesser game than its predecessors. There's fun to be had in party-settingsSwitch sports is barebones, lacks innovation and somehow ends up a lesser game than its predecessors. There's fun to be had in party-settings but the big feature (online) gets grindy very quickly.Volleyball is very jarring, badmitton is dull and simple, bowling battle-royale style is tedious with a tiny margin for error, soccer is actually the most fun, chumbara (swordfighting) feels very imprecise and tennis...is just wrong. 2V2 is unfair when you don't match with another player (meaning you have to control both players) but the other team has two independent players.Unlocking cosmetics feels like a grind, and its pointless if every player is choosing from a very small subset of options. You only get slightly more points for winning than losing, so the easiest way to earn points is to lose. There's also no payout if a player leaves a match.Switch Sports is definitely going to need more than just Golf being added to stay on my shelf. Not being able to earn cosmetics without Switch online kills the single player and makes Switch Sports seem like a way to sell NSO subscriptions.
