Slated for April 29th, the new Switch Sports game will take gamers to Spocco Square and give gamers plenty of reasons to strap on their Joy-Con straps.
Nintendo Switch Sports is just around the corner and in the meantime, Nintendo brings us a detailed trailer of the different modes and sports available.
According to the preview, Nintendo Switch Sports will take players to Spocco Square, a sports complex that will serve as the main menu for the game. Veterans will recognize tennis, bowling and chambara (fencing) already available on Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. The new sports are soccer, volleyball and badminton. Golf will also be added as free DLC this fall.
The trailer also shows several variants of optional gameplay and multiplayer modes that look fun and offer more gameplay opportunities.
For example, players can add obstacles to their path while bowling to spice up the game. You can also play Survival Bowling, a mode that pits 16 random online players against each other in a bowling tournament. In fencing, they can also choose between 3 different types of swords, including one that charges with energy and electrocutes the opponent.
The new trailer also showed an example of action for each of the movements required in the game, such as soccer, where it will be possible to kick the ball if you buy the physical version of the game, which includes a Joy-Con strap for the leg. Since this is a game played entirely in motion controls, you’ll need to move naturally, and most importantly, attach your Joy-Con well. The moderator calmly makes the movements, but we know that most players have to be very careful not to break everything around them.
