A new 1.2.0 update has just gone out for Nintendo Switch Sports.

This patch is something we heard about last week. It adds a few new elements such as Leg Strap functionality in soccer and new moves for volleyball. Additionally, it looks like the way in which pins fall have been adjusted in bowling.

The full patch notes for the Nintendo Switch Sports version 1.2.0 update are as follows: 

Soccer

• One-on-One and Four-on-Four Soccer can now be played using the leg strap.
  • Play Globally: On the sport-
    selection screen, highlight Soccer and press the X Button.
  • Play Locally: On the screen showing how to hold the Joy-Con controllers, press the + Button.
  • Play with Friends: On the screen showing how to hold the Joy-Con controllers, press the + Button.
• A new camera mode has been added. To use it, go to the sport-selection screen, then Options → User Settings → Other (for Two-Hand Mode only).
• The camera can now be reset during play by pressing the X Button.
• Players will no longer jump too high when kicking repeatedly, and it should also be easier to jump to the maximum height (for Two-Hand Mode only).

Volleyball

• You can now perform Slide Attacks, a coordinated move where a player crosses the court before leaping to spike the ball.
  • To do a Slide Attack, move the Stick left and right after bumping the ball. This move is great for catching opponents off guard.
  • To block a Slide Attack, quickly start moving toward the opponent who is getting ready to spike the ball by using the Stick to get into position.
• You can now perform Rocket Serves.
  • When serving, toss the ball high and hit it at its apex to do a Rocket Serve.

Bowling

• Adjusted how the pins fall.
  • It is now slightly harder for the pins to fall when bowling straight.
  • It is now slightly easier for the pins to fall when bowling with a curve.

And here’s a trailer:
