Nintendo Switch Sports Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch Sports brings the Wii Sports formula back with real motion controls. Grab a Joy-Con and swing, kick, or bowl your way through eight sports total. Best of all, the whole family can jump in on one console or online.

Every match starts in Spocco Square, the game’s central sports plaza. Nintendo Switch Sports lets you build a custom Sportsmate avatar, so your look grows alongside your skills. Also, you can still play as a classic Mii if you prefer the old look.

Nintendo Switch Sports Features

• Add Golf and Basketball through free post-launch updates, bringing the roster to eight sports
