    Idk what's up with bad reviews, This game is fantastic, played with my sister and it was hella fun with just two people, now imagine four people? It be a party lol, I did'nt even play online cuz I don't have nintendo subscription and it was still soo much fun. Thinking of getting online now, To each their own.

    I feel as if the change on appearance has severely effected the people’s opinion on this game. Yes, that SUUUUCKS! But the game is REALLY fun! The gameplay is smooth, the online makes this game so much more enjoyable then previous entries simply because you’re facing real people. I am personally very pissed with the update thing AGAIN. But still, this game is just so much fun.

    Me and my big family love it because it has up to four players and way more diverse outfits than Wii Sports and Wii Sports resort. But I can't make it a 10 because of the lack and games, mini games, and rolling to bowling ball backwards and the people in the back cheering. In conclusion I love this game but there are some changes that could be made. Like golf this fall

    The game is a fun party game. The only letdown is tennis due to the inaccuracy of the swinging. All the people giving the game 0-2 either have nobody to play with or don’t play online. If your alone and can’t play online I can see why it may get boring quick.

    I LOVE this game! It's so much fun to play with my plushies and I love making videos about it! The only problem is that you need real friends to play with or else you have to buy Nintendo's online subscription, and I don't like subscriptions, so I can't play it with anyone.

    the games is great although there are a few things that i don’t like. i don’t like the new characters. you can use a mii but i feel like it should’ve been mii's from the getgo. it also almost feels like your punished for using a mii because mii’s can’t wear 50% of the rewards you earn.

    the games themselves are good although i don’t like the selection. 3 out of the 6 are really similar. i

    i don’t like how there’s no training mini games; it’s like only the games themselves.

    other than that it’s a quality nintendo title and it’s something you could definitely put a lot of time into

    Nintendo Switch Sports is an amazing follow up to Wii Sports, but it isnt perfect. I believe that the 6 sports have had lots of love and care put into them. Everything feels right.

A common complaint I see is that the game only had 6 sports, and I agree to an extent, but its important to know that developing a HD game for the switch takes longer than an SD game for the Wii ( even then, it wouldnt have been too hard for them to recycle a few more of the older sports). I also feel the game's lack of practice modes is a huge let down.

    The online play is fun and match making is quite speedy. Almost all of my matches had no lag. I find it super fun to collect items to customize my mii (but I find the lootbox-like system used to be awful.) And the title system is really funny. Survival bowling is super fun. The addition of friends only rooms with VCs is great.

    As it stands, NIntendo Switch Sports is fun, but lacking. But it has potential. Hopefully, Nintendo will continue to update the game to make it more worth it. (But even if they did, shouldnt there have been more worthwhile content in the first place?)

First off, this may not be the best of the Nintendo sports games, but it sure is an enjoyable game. The local compatibility has not changed one bit from previous games, choose a mode, hand out the controllers, and play the game. But where the game truly shines is its online mode. Online mode is essentially lag-free, depending on your internet connection. The only issue I have with online play is that you can only earn cosmetic rewards from the mode, paying at least 3.99 USD each month just to be able to unlock cosmetics. Cosmetics are the most likely reason as to why they wiped Miis out of this title. The new characters allow for cosmetics, unlike the mii characters, which can only use the equipment and clothing that you earn form the gift boxes in the game. Each sport feels fresh, with a new coat of paint, HD graphics, and improvements to previous sports, like bowling, which got split screen up to 4 players at 30 FPS, which feels choppy, so playing bowling like this could impact your chance to win. Each of the new sports are easy to pick up and can be difficultly fun. The only game that has button bindings is soccer, which uses the triggers to run and pass to your teammates. This game is a major improvement from the Wii titles, with its new sports, online functionality, cosmetics and new sports helps justify the games price. Expand

    Realmente es un juego BASTANTE divertido, especialmente si lo juegas con tu familia. Aunque no tenga muchos modos de juego (Que irán añadiéndose poco a poco), esto se compensa con su gran jugabilidad y distintas formas para jugar cada juego. Obviamente no será el mismo ''bum'' que hace 16 año, pero creo que la gran mayoría de las críticas son sin siquiera haber tocado el juego.

    Stunned this game has such low reviews. I think it's a great upgrade from the Wii Sports. And the online portion of it has been nothing short of excellent (with a few hiccups here and there). All the sports are fun to play for the most part but sometimes (bowling) is an issue with controls at times. But overall it's a nice game to play and a fun game with friends and family

    Graphically, Nintendo Switch Sports has the edge, that's for sure.
    In terms of the number of sports, however, Wii Sports Resort wins.
    Here's a comparison: Wii Sports Resort has 12 sports, which would be sword fighting, wakeboarding, frisbee, archery, basketball, table tennis, golf, bowling, jet boating, canoeing, cycling and air sports such as sightseeing flights and skydiving.
    Nintendo Switch Sports currently has 6 but it should be 7 from autumn.
    The 6 sports are volleyball, badminton, bowling, football, chanbara (sword fighting) and tennis and also golf but this will not be added until autumn.
    I'm not a big fan of the so-called Sportsmates, which are supposed to be the new Mii characters, for which I immediately grabbed my Mii.
    The motion control works surprisingly well I'm honest there were a few minor hiccups but in general it's pretty good but far from perfect.
    The online multiplayer is really good for Nintendo, so far it has only had one disconnect and it's also a lot of fun with friends
    I almost forgot the price, I thought Nintendo would raise the price back to €60, but I paid €45 for this game (physically) digitally in the eshop, it costs €40, the €5 additional costs probably went for the additional leg strap, but that was also the case Physically 45€ and digitally 40€ is a fair and good price for this game.
    Conclusion at the end the majority of this game works well but in my opinion Nintendo Switch Sports is still a long way from Wii Sports Resort, but it is a successful successor

    Sound fxs are good and the music is good too. The bowling music especially can get a bit catchy at times. This just sounds exactly like a basic Nintendo title

    Gameplay: 6/10
    Controls work well enough with Bowling, Soccer , Volleyball and Badminton, but they seem to fall about a bit with Tennis and especially Chambara. I don’t know if Tennis was ever this bad in Wii Sports, but the controls seem to be super sensitive with the kind of swings you make with the Joy con in this; And considering the accuracy isn’t perfect, it can lead to some frustrating moments.

    I’m also bringing down the score on the customization because the base items barely give you anything to work with, and the sets only last for a limited time; So if you’re not in the mood to play at a certain time and you miss out, who knows if you’re getting another chance to get the items to lost out on. I kinda wish this game gave you more points for just trying to play; 40 out of 100 feels like a bit of a waste, especially when you spend some time setting up the game and actually playing for 2-3 minutes per match.

    BOTTOM LINE:
    8/10

    Despite the quirks with two of the sports titles and the customization being a bit lacking, this game is still a fun title to pick up and play with friends and family. About the only other complaint I have is the $50 price tag still seems a bit steep for a title like this; I’d say this is more worth it at $40. If you haven’t picked up this title yet and if the lack of customizing doesn’t bother you (aside from using Miis) I totally recommend this whenever Nintendo has a small sale on this title.

    Nintendo Switch Sports has brought back everything we loved about Wii Sports and given it a refresh fit for 2022. Old favourites like tennis and bowling are back, while new games have also been added to the mix including badminton and football. This game is really fun to play.

    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.

    Playing by myself for an extended period of time was boring and monotonous, and the absence of certain single-player modes is a major oversight. But Nintendo Switch Sports is a fantastic multiplayer game that, for the most part, invites anyone and everyone to pick up a controller and flail their limbs about. It has its issues, but they fall away when you have other people to play with and are joyously going toe-to-toe in virtual sports. As with the original Wii Sports, Nintendo Switch Sports finds beauty and fun in simplicity. And bowling is great. Better than real-life bowling.
