What parents need to know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nintendo Switch Sports offers to move in front of your screen by playing soccer\/football, volleyball, bowling, tennis, badminton, golf, basketball and chambara. This is done using Joy-con controllers. Like Nintendo Wii Sports (2006), Nintendo Switch Sports is a compilation of mini-games for family or online play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game is sold with a leg strap in its cartridge (physical) version. This allows you to play only one (out of 4) of the Soccer game modes properly. The strap is the same as for Ring Fit Adventure<\/a>. If you already have it, there’s no point in buying it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little violence. Some characters can be hit by bullets, stealing games. The game of Chambara is a sword fight and requires the characters to blow each other with swords to push the opponent into the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Requires a small learning time for each game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need to know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Be careful this game requires joy-con controllers to be played. Just like Super Mario Party<\/a>, it takes as many joy-con controllers as you do players. Some games require 2 joy-con per player. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in portable mode, or with your Nintendo Switch Lite, you will have to use joy-con in addition to your console. Pro Controller and controls attached to the screen are therefore not compatible. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leg strap sold in the physical version of the game is only necessary for a game mode in the Soccer\/Football mini-game. It is totally dispensable to enjoy the game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principle of the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nintendo Switch Sports is a compilation of mini-games themed around sports. Each game tries to replicate the real sport by making you move from the screen and using the joy-con controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the outset, Nintendo Switch Sports offers you to play:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
