Nintendo Switch Sports (Nintendo Switch スポーツ Nintendo Switch Supōtsu) is an upcoming sports video game developed and produced by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch video game console. It was announced on the 9th of February Nintendo Direct, introducing six sports at launch. It is set for launch on April 29, 2022, with three days of testing for Nintendo Switch Online users from February 18th to February 20th.
Gameplay
Nintendo Switch Sports is a remake of Wii Sports, utilizing motion and button controls with Joy-Cons. The six sports included at launch are Tennis, Bowling, Chambara, Soccer, Badminton and Volleyball, with Golf being in an update coming in fall. Online and local play is supported as well.
Nintendo Switch Sports uses a new type of character (that somewhat replace Miis) called Sportsmates. The player’s Sportmate can be customized significantly compared to a Mii, from facial appearance to clothing. Miis on the Switch's system can be used instead of a Nintendo Switch Sports character.
Also, the location of this game is no longer set on Wuhu Island, instead being set on Spocco Square.
Online Play Test
There will be five 45-minute sessions every 8 hours starting from 7PM on February 18th where Nintendo Switch Online members can test the online play feature. The sports that can be played are Tennis, Bowling and Chambara. Participants cannot play against friends, only random matchmaking will be available. Additionally, the Online Play Test cannot be done on a Nintendo Switch Lite.
Miis/CPU featured
In the reveal trailer's online play section, names of some of the original Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort Miis are used, with them being used as names for the participants in a game of Survival Bowling. The names used are Abby, Alex, Andy, Haru, James, Jessie, Julie, Miguel, Mike, Miyu, Patrick, Saburo, Shohei, Tatsuaki and Tommy.
