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.
