Nintendo Switch Sports’ Coming This April

 

Wii Sports fans, get ready to get active all over again. Nintendo is bringing back the iconic sports game that took over households more than a decade ago.

 

 

Nintendo announced a new iteration of the video game that will be available on the Nintendo Switch in April. “Nintendo Switch Sports” will offer bowling, tennis, and chambara – otherwise known as sword-fighting, which appeared in Wii Sports Resort – as well as three new sports: soccer, volleyball, and badminton.

Similar to the Wii, players will use their Switch’s joy-con controllers to play each sport. The Switch also allows for a controller to be strapped to a user’s leg for some activities, a feature that wasn’t available with the Wii.

Physical editions will come with a leg strap for tracking movement in new foot-based sports like soccer, and golf will be added via a free update in the fall. Soccer will be added in a future update, though a “shoot-out” minigame will be playable at launch.

The game is currently available for preorder and will be available starting April 29.
