Nintendo Switch Sports Review – We Would Like to Play

Attempts to cash in on the Wii Sports craze were made. Wii Sports Resort brought some new games to the mix, but it was never met with the same success as the original. Wii U Sports Club is a game that exists, apparently.

Players can choose between tennis, badminton, bowling, soccer, sword fighting (chambara), or volleyball. Golf is planned for a future update as free DLC. Baseball, boxing, and others from the franchise are missing in action.

On the plus side, Nintendo Switch Sports isn’t a fully priced game; the digital version runs you $39.99, while the physical copy, which includes a leg strap, is $49.99.

Baseball, like bowling, has been a franchise staple. It would have been great to relive it, especially since MLB The Show is now on a Nintendo console. Its absence from Nintendo Switch Sports is disappointing, to say the least.

Enough about Switch Sports' omissions. A tiny list of games with inconsistent results. It's the same bowling you loved a decade ago. Online competitions and ranked play are helpful.

Soccer is the sport I’ve spent the most time with. Its gameplay resembles a more casual, laid-back version of Rocket League. It’s still frantic and I want to question the skill of my teammates, but I also don’t want to throw a controller through my television

The least intuitive option in Nintendo Switch Sports is undoubtedly volleyball. It’s a shame because there is a lot of squandered potential here. Volleyball plays more like an on-rails rhythm game than a sports title
