    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 best game this year. Lots of fun, minus my weight, and my arms. Drink water while playing)

    The games are very fun. The sports are very well done and it goes very smoothly. It is one of the perfect games to play with family, friends or online. 10/10

    This game has the same passion and charm as wii sports and it earns those positive review scores

    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    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.

    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    … Expand

    Simply, Best casual party game on Switch. Soccer and volleyball are the best sport game in a Nintendo sports game.

    Very interesting game for the first time player. I’m never try the wii sport before. I feel this is very fun, the sound effects is great. Hope can add more athletics in future update, Like table tennis, boxing.

    Great revamp of a classic game its the smoothest nintendo sports ive played and the charcter avatars are adorable lots of custimation for them. A little light on content but online playabiltiy means you always have someone to play with, alos prospect of futre free dlc like golf means future support.

    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. The music and settings are beyond amazing.

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?)    … Expand

    The motion controls are amazing and it's so much fun playing with friends. I would hope for more sports though but they are adding more in the future like golf.

    While Nintendo Switch Sports is a good game and entry to Wii Sports, some small flaws and missing off on games like Baseball and Boxing keeps it from reaching elite status.

    With a family of 6, since we bought our game yesterday, we have enjoyed every last minute of it. 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 isWith a family of 6, since we bought our game yesterday, we have enjoyed every last minute of it. 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.

    A good and solid amount of content and fun you get for 40 dollars, there is a lot of nintendo charm in this game and I look forward to future updates! The online might be the best thing about this, plus the custom items and clothing are really cool!

    Nunca joguei nenhum jogo de Nintendo Wii, mas ainda sim não acho certo comparar ambos os jogos. É um jogo novo em uma época nova. Me divirto muito jogando com minha esposa e familiares, me exercito bastante. Os sensores de movimento funcionam extremamente bem.

    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.
