Nintendo Switch Sports - Nintendo Switch

Our family got the Nintendo Switches with the idea that we would get a SPORTS GAME that we all liked, and we could use Local Play to play together. Getting the switches was the easy, but expensive, part of the plan. So, one of the criteria we are judging the SPORTS GAMES is the price. We also want it to be easy to play, and finally it needs to have great graphics. There is no point if it does not meet these requirements. I will list the games in Alphabetical order according to their titles to make it easy to find. I love and trust Amazon, so all the SPORTS GAMES we are trying out are from Amazon.com Just so you understand, when I say Game I mean the whole SPORTS GAME; but when I say sport, then it is one of the sports in the game. 30 Sports Games: The best thing about this game is the variety of sports available. It has poor graphics. The avatar I created had to have a tan because that was all that was available. I like my avatar to look like me (grey hair and all). The sports were difficult to play in some instances. There weren’t any instructions on how to aim the rifle and the swimming had to follow a set pattern. Some sports were so difficult to figure out how to play, we just gave up on them. These sports need to have instructions that pop up at the start of every session, and then go away while playing. Secondly, the game likes you to choose one of your controllers to play the game. One of us chose the right controller of their console, and the other chose the left controller. The left controller was a mistake. It shut down the controller that had the Home Button and it was impossible to exit the game. Once again, we had to take the cartridge out to end the game. That means this game only gets 2 Stars. Instant Sports Paradise: This game failed because it was not easy to use. We both had different problems to begin with. My wife started playing one of the sports that was close to the hut where we started. She enjoyed the game for 10 minutes, and then had trouble exiting the sport for the next 20 minutes. I went exploring with this game. I enjoyed flying down a canyon and playing golf. However, I too had trouble exiting this game. It turns out that you must get back to the first hut to exit. While exploring this game, I did not keep track of all the trails I traveled. Therefore, I could not find my way back to the hut to exit properly. We were both forced to just take the cartridge out and hope it did not mess with our other games. It was fun for me but not my wife, and it was a pain to exit. This game gets 2 stars because of the graphics, but that is all that we liked about it. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games: This is a great game. I think this will be the one I purchase for the whole family. This has it all. It is fun, great graphics, easy to use, and it is less expensive than the runner up. This game has more sports than other games. The introduction to how Mario and Sonic got to complete in the Olympic Games is also available. It is a little cheesy, but it is entertaining once. This game gets the maximum stars I can give. It gets 5 stars. Nintendo Switch Sports: The only thing this game does not pass from the criteria that I listed in the first paragraph is the Price. This game is almost twice the cost of the other games. This game costs almost $50 for the cartridge but amazon also has the code available for a competitive price. Having said that, it has great graphics, and it is very easy to use and navigate unlike others games in this list. My wife loved the graphics in this game. She also liked playing sports. It is unfortunate that there are fewer sports than there are in other games. We loved the sports that were offered. This is one of the SPORTS GAMES we listed the highest. This one gets 4 stars. NOTE: Instant Sports: This game cannot be evaluated by me. I ordered the game, but it came smashed. I am sorry I cannot evaluate this SPORTS GAME with the others. It looks like fun.

Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round, for I have encountered a gaming marvel that will flip your world faster than a pancake on a Sunday morning! Enter the realm of Nintendo Switch Sports, where joy meets excitement, and your thumbs embark on Olympic-level training! Remember the old Wii Sports days? Well, picture that, but with the Nintendo Switch's magical capabilities! It's like Mario and Sonic decided to throw a party, and every iconic Nintendo character RSVP'd for the event. Let's talk about the games within this gem. From the classic tennis that makes you feel like a Wimbledon pro (minus the sweat stains) to bowling, where even the clumsiest of us can get a strike, each game is a slice of pure joy wrapped in pixelated goodness. It's like having a sports carnival at your fingertips, minus the sweaty athletes! And the controls? Oh, dear friend, they're smoother than butter on a hot biscuit! The Joy-Cons become extensions of your very being as you swing, punch, or shoot your way to victory. It's like the controllers are whispering, "You got this!" with every motion. But wait, there's more! The multiplayer mode is where the real fun begins. Gather your friends, family, or even your pet goldfish (if they're into gaming) and dive into the competitive world of Switch Sports. It's the kind of chaos that turns family gatherings into legendary tournaments, with laughter echoing through the halls and joyous screams of victory... or defeat. Nintendo didn't just create a game; they crafted an experience. It's like a rollercoaster ride through a pixelated wonderland, where every twist and turn brings a smile to your face. Now, let's address the graphics. Sure, they might not be hyper-realistic, but who needs photorealism when you have adorable, charming characters dashing across vibrant landscapes? It's like stepping into a living cartoon where the fun never ends! Oh, and the music! It's so catchy, it'll have you humming the tunes even when you're not playing. It's like having a soundtrack that turns every moment into a mini-celebration. In conclusion, Nintendo Switch Sports isn't just a game; it's a bundle of joy, a digital carnival that brings people together, and an endless source of entertainment. It's a reminder that gaming isn't just about winning; it's about creating memories, sharing laughter, and having a blast with those you love. So, grab your Switch, get ready to break a virtual sweat, and let Nintendo Switch Sports be the MVP in your gaming collection. It's an absolute blast that'll make you want to high-five your screen in sheer excitement!

Of all the gifts my kids got for Christmas, this is the one they've been playing all evening. We like: 1. Good multi-player capability. 2. Pretty good variety of games. We don't love: 1. A bit finicky and a bit tricky to learn how to control. Still a winner for family fun that involves at least a bit of movement.

So much fun. What a hit.

Great game!

You definitely need Nintendo online to enjoy this game maximally, or you can have some family or friends play with you locally. I wish all the sports games were there already (like golf, baseball, and archery, which I think are coming later in a DLC) but I'm ok so far with the 6 games we have at the moment. They are pretty fun and interesting, and so (in the short term) they do distract from the lack of other sports. However.... this is only day three of having the game, I'm not sure how long this fun will last with just these 6 games lol. The weekly incentives to get in-game merch and customizable items for your character are cool and somewhat motivating, but it takes so many sport plays to earn the merch and items that I'm not sure how motivating this will be if you're playing by yourself online in the same 6 sports over and over and over for some prizes that aren't really thaaaaaat motivating. They're cool for now tho, I'm just not sure how much they'll motivate you to keep playing once you get bored of the 6 current sports. This won't matter so much if you're with friends and family and they're all helping you play and they're winning for you too and then you'd have racked up soooo many points that you're smiling, and you have all this in game merch and customizable items, but..... if you're like most people and just playing by yourself with no help, this can be tedious playing these 6 sports over and over against online players to win prizes that are just ok. There is a level up process in which you'll start competing against higher quality players and then you receive higher amounts of points, rewards, and recognition. That's cool, and will motivate the competitive folks. Glad they included that and a tier system to seperate the amateurs from the growing pros

Fun game if you were a fan of Wii sports you’ll like this. I just wish Nintendo included a second leg strap.

Great game for family
