After a long wait, Nintendo opens up their sports resort once again, with Nintendo Switch Sports coming to Switch in April. Bowling grandmas, rejoice! This follow-up to Wii Sports includes extra activities, like badminton and volleyball, as well as all the classic favourites, and is precisely the kind of workout we can get behind.
During the February Nintendo Direct, Yoshiaki Koizumi joined Shinya Takahashi to announce a Nintendo Switch Sports release date for April, 29. That means you can pack your summer full of sports without leaving your living room, so no more relying on the weather for a quick game of soccer with friends. The game arrives with bowling, tennis, chambara, soccer, volleyball, and badminton, with golf coming at a later date, so there’s a couple of new options for anyone sick of gutterballs or second serve faults.
We’re incredibly excited about the prospect of online play on Nintendo Switch Sports. Not only can you play locally, or online with family and friends, but this game’s random matchmaking mode takes skill and win percentage into account to set you up with players of a similar ability. Survival bowling on the go? Yes, please.
