    Souless wii sports ripoff. This game should have been a pack in title or 10 dollars maximum. Not reccomended

    Game itself isn't bad but it's a shell of its WII predecessor. If you're a WII Sports or Resort player, you'll find yourself disappointed. Without the use of a sensor, your range of motion is drastically limited. For $40, you're barely getting anything. If you're looking for a fun Switch party game, your money can be better spent elsewhere.

    I am a HUGE Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort fan. This game sucks. At release it had half the minigames as Wii Sports Resort which released 14 YEARS ago, the charm is gone, and they killed the heart of the series (Miis) for some Gacha Life looking goofy ahh npc's.

    Lack of content and could of really been released way sooner. Also the game has these knock-off Mii's that made Wii Sport's so amazing. Game you play for an hour or two then never play again.

    First its NOT a bad game.. but there is way to little Content.
    Its very good to play in Multiplayer but in Singleplayer its just boring.
    The price is to much for the Content (39,99€: Physical version).
    I wouldn't recommend this to all switch owners its not a must buy.

Part of    Nintendo Switch Sports delivers a Wii Sports-like experience to middling results, with Soccer outlasting all other sports included in the game with its refreshing leg strap functionality.

    FULL REVIEW:
    I played Wii Sports for likely hundreds of hours as a child. Its five simplistic game modes maintained the same amount of entertainment whether I played it myself or with friends. Part of it’s because I had control over what I was doing in the game due to the Wii controller. Despite Nintendo Switch Sports’s best efforts, it rarely captures the same level of enjoyment. Yes, the joy-cons are sufficient replacements for the Wii controller, but people debated that long before the title’s release. The main area of concern is the gameplay of Switch Sports.

    In Wii Sports, players pick between five sports, Baseball, Tennis, Bowling, Golf, and Boxing, or its minigame modes. In Switch Sports, players choose between seven sports: Volleyball, Badminton, Bowling, Soccer, Chambara, Tennis, and Golf. However, there are no minigame modes, and Nintendo added golf eight months after the title’s release when the game it essentially copied included it at launch seventeen years ago. Switch Sports also lacks the charm Wii Sports had with its Mii characters by replacing them with new character models and optional Mii functionality. It’s further differentiated due to Switch Sports’ (almost) always online functions. It’s an unnecessary marketing push towards the title’s online functionality, especially when your goal every few weeks is a new outfit set.

    There’s little incentive to keep playing Switch Sports, especially when its chosen sports are anything between uneventful to borderline filler. Tennis, Bowling, and Golf aren’t as intuitive as the title’s predecessor due to the joy con’s higher motion sensitivity. Badminton is almost the same gameplay as tennis, just with a twist, and Volleyball is one of the worst gaming experiences I’ve had because of how little effort is needed to play it. The only worthwhile experiences included in Switch Sports are Chambara and Soccer. Chambara plays much like its predecessor on Wii Sports Resort, meaning it’s also stayed intact after all these years. Soccer, however, includes leg strap functionality, making it a new and exciting experience.

    Switch Sports is a pivotal example of lost potential. Nintendo should’ve decided to incorporate the leg strap in every sport it included. Yes, they would have to find new sports where players use their legs, but those game modes are much more interesting than copying what they’ve already done. Using fresh and innovative ideas is why Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are getting a spiritual successor, and developers similarly use new technology. However, Nintendo also dropped the ball on the joy con’s potential shortly after the Switch’s launch. Unfortunately, Nintendo never realized Switch Sports’ potential, even though they could have, making a title that lost relevance a few weeks after its launch.    … Expand

    The returning sports were ruined by the inferior joycon motion controls and new gameplay “improvements”. Although Golf is at it’s best here, unfortunately the courses from Wii Sports Club weren’t included in this game for whatever reason.

    I will not deny that this game has potential. As someone who has constantly played Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort for the last 15 years, however, this game is a bit of a letdown.

In the original Wii Sports, as your skill rank increased, the opponents you faced became more challenging. However, Switch Sports does not work the same. There are only a few set levels of difficulty, significantly reducing the challenge and replayability of this game. Locking many cosmetics behind an online paywall does not help, either. There are certainly bright spots to this game, but ultimately it is just another example of nostalgia bait that - while the intentions were good, was just another franchise revival.… Expand

    After my decently long hiatus from the game, I returned to Nintendo Switch Sports seeking only to have a little bit of fun. Little did I know this seemingly tiny decision would lead to numerous hours of the most bafflingly dead game I've experienced. I started with bowling, which took forever to find a single match, but when I did everyone took their first bowl and then... nothing. Absolutely nothing happened. The lobby froze, and forced every single person to close their game and start over. What a great first impression that would have been if that were your first game back! After loading the game back up, I was waiting in a queue for another game for 5 minutes. When I did get in, did I manage to have an issue-free experience? No, of course not. Glitches everywhere, disconnects and bots, and barely an inch of polish. The next few hours were nought but waiting for the game to break in the next preposterously silly way, and groan in disappointment that I spent money on this thing.

    At the end of the day, I feel I can no longer recommend Nintendo Switch Sports to anyone; the bugs aren't funny like with games like Skate 3 or FnaF Security Breach, and the game's general quality is so pathetic it simply leaves me questioning what the **** the devs were doing with their time. If you want a good sports game, go play the original Wii Sports, or Wii Sports Resort. End of story.    … Expand

    The other sports are a complete mixed bag though. Tennis and Bad mitten are both pretty fun, but get old fast, and soccer is super mid.

    The sportsmates, while i do like them, really shouldn't have replaced the Miis. They're pretty generic.

    But the WORST thing about this game is defiantly the fact that it's another Nintendo game that was half cooked, before being released, and it has "free updates" that is really just the rest of the game

Just when I thought Nintendo couldn’t have dropped the ball any lower, they did it. For it’s asking price of 40 dollars, it only offers six sports, SIX! All of them widely vary in quality, with soccer, badminton, and tennis functioning too similarly, not to mention it launching unfinished like so many multiplayer centric games on the Switch. While the old and returning sports do benefit from improved motion controls from the previous games, they all lack any sort of satisfying substance, especially Bowling, Chambara, and Soccer. Wii Sports Resort had twice the number games and included all of its gameplay features baked in for the same price, so there’s no reason why Switch Sports should be this lacking. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again; the Sportsmates feel completely out of place in a Wii Sports sequel and are so uninspired and look almost identical to each other. It’s very disappointing that Nintendo went with these soulless, minimalistic avatars as the main focus in favor of the iconic Miis which are so beloved and have been widely used for over 15 years. Yes, you can play as your Mii still, but it’s so obvious that the focus was shifted away from them and look very odd with the Sportmate’s body proportions. Spocco Square as well, looks and feels so generic and out of place compared to Wuhu Island that it feels better suited for a generic third party sports game than a legit Wii Sports sequel. Overall, it’s very saddening to see such a low quality product come out of Nintendo in-house. I know they can do better than this. They’ve made some of my favorite video games and characters of all time, and it sucks that they’ve pumped this product out just to cash in on the success of the Wii Sports franchise by brand alone. Compare this to Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, and you’ll see just how inept a video game company can be these days, setting aside any glimpse of the edge, charm, and creativity that they’ve had over 15 years ago.… Expand

You could make a Mii look like basically anyone. The new avatars have a lot less options and just doesn't have the same charm of seeing yourself in the game. The other problem was just that Wii sports is better. The sports are much funner to play in Wii Sports. Even in bowling and tennis I feel like the Wii Sports version is slightly better. While the Nintendo Switch Sports games have detailed backgrounds and better graphics Wii sports is more charming and feels more welcoming. The new sports added in the game are not great. Out of six sports three of them are new and only one of the new ones is actually enjoyable. Badminton is the one enjoyable new one. You can think of it as Wii Sports tennis but more fast paced and chaotic. Badminton was the sport that I went back to the most. But it is disappointing that the best sport in the package is basically a slightly modified version of tennis. Volleyball and soccer are the two other new sports and they're horrible. Volleyball asks you to make extremely specific movements to hit the ball. Its also just a very slow game. Not once did I feel like a game of volleyball was different from the last game of volleyball. Soccer is not any better. The game feels like a really slow and bad version of rocket league. The field is way too big and your character is too slow. Sometimes it feels like I have to run a whole mile just to get to the goal. Besides the new games there's bowling, chanbara, and tennis which were all brought back from past Wii Sports games. They all work well and are really fun but without the old Miis and backgrounds playing them in Switch Sports isn't as good as playing them in Wii Sports. Besides just playing the sports alone or with family you can go against friends or random people online. From what I played I didn't have many problems. It's not a perfect online mode but it works. By playing against people online you're able to earn new items you can put on your character to make it look more like yourself. This makes it so then there's something you can actually accomplish by playing online and I'll always have something to do. The online mode is the only thing that Nintendo Switch Sports has over Wii Sports. Overall Nintendo Switch Sports is a fine game. The main question is, was it fun to play with family and friends? The answer to that question is yes of course. Although its obvious that this game is not perfect and feels a bit under-baked.

    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.

    They took everything that was good about Wii Sports, added a positive dash of some cool customizations that you can earn through playing, and then crapped all over it all with forced "advanced" game modes, and Nintendo's terrible multiplayer servers. Had so much potential to be good, and they failed it.

    If you compare it to Wii Sports or, much better, Wii Sports Resort, this game falls short in every. single. category. Except maybe for the online Leagues but considering Nintendo's netcode feels older than the Internet itself, this is only a drop in the ocean. Even the Joy-Cons feel inferior to the Wii Remote. At least the latter could be re-calibrated mid-game which they somehow forgot here.

    It's overall evident that no competent designer of ANY capacity was involved in development of Switch Sports. I've rarely seen worse and less functional UI (except for maybe ubisoft's STEEP). It's overall a mediocre experience that perfectly encapsulates current day Nintendo's philosophy: don't work smart OR hard. Just don't work at all.    … Expand

    Another problem is that there are no real tutorial or practice mode. There are basic control guides for certain games and hints during loading screens, but no actual explains for game mechanics. I played tennis for days and I didn't know there are spins until I finally saw it on the hints, and some opponents are using moves that I still don't know how. I don't like reading guides outsides of games, but the lack of explanations makes me feel I'm forced to do so.

    Sound: 9/10
    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.    … Expand

    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.

No 100 pin mode (this mode is a bit overrated anyway but still sad its not in the game), Spocco square isnt open world so you can't walk to the sport facility and play the sport.

    I miss Wii sport as this game is just not as fun or accurate. Also should have been cheaper.

    Disappointing -
    **DON'T NOT BUY WITHOUT ONLINE MEMBERSHIP**
    The good: the controllers feel decent and the sports outside of the bowling feel okay. Bad: Zero value with single player/offline modes. I can't bowl against a CPU in some games, there is no Career mode even though the game says Start Career. There is no career it just keeps your high score and some teir rating. No tournaments,    Disappointing -

There is no career it just keeps your high score and some teir rating. No tournaments, no options. If you don't play online you cannot unlock anything at all. Jeeze even the 16 year old Wii Sports allowed you to pick a color for God sake. So that is. All this game is is you playing online with Randos. Poor sad lazy. Want a refund but guess what, it's Nintendont. Also I can't even carry over my unlocked items from switch to switch. I have four goddamn switches and if I want a unlock able I have the unlock on each system? Wtf. Sorry nintendo you fail at this one.    … Expand

    I really like this game. It’s so fun, and I can say that it’s worth buying for 40$

    Nintendo Switch Sports is a good nintendo sports compared to other deliveries of the saga but the bittersweet and incomplete flavor that the game sometimes feels makes it a bit or very disappointing

    A great follow up to the series. I think the music is great, which is a bit of mix of wii sports and wii sports resort. The game is fun and its a overall great experience.

    Nothings really different from wii sport, the controls are still non-representative. Wii sport resort was more accurate with the controls than this one. Not worth buying there are better option for party games.

    Exactly what I want from a Nintendo sports game! It's polished, fun & charming game with depth to each sport. Absolutely loving the online mode, unlocking the outfits and pro-leagues and I can't wait to play with some friends locally!

    Zero progression, challenge, or customization if you don't have the paid online Nintendo service. Simply the worst trend in the video game community to continuously force online only gameplay.

    Never play Nintendo sports games before, this game is all new for me and I love it. Thanks to the online mode, I can play with my friends in other country, hope they add the squad mode like Splatoon, so I can team up with my online friend. All the six game is well polished, thanks to the Pro League, master all the game will be harder, hopefully more new content will be available soon.

    How many of you are saying this game is good? it. is. trash. For instance, we didn't get ANY good sports(we've basically gotten tennis 3 different goddam times). might I mention the FPS rate drops to 30 on 2 PLAYER MODES?! what was Nintendo doing? being brainless. no one likes this game except for idiots. we ALSO got three of almost the EXACT same game, volleyball, badminton, and tennis.How many of you are saying this game is good? it. is. trash.

    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.
