Nintendo Switch Sports for Nintendo Switch is all about sports, games and fun!
Grab a Joy-Con controller and use physical moves in a variety of sports that mirror your movements in the game. Invite your friends and family to play together on a single Nintendo Switch console* or find new competitors in online multiplayer**!
Tennis
Hold the Joy-Con like a tennis racket and participate in intense doubles matches. Swing at the right moment to hit balls past your opponents. Adjust your strokes to execute topspins, slices, or lobs!
Bowling
Get the ball rolling with a swing of your Joy-Con. Give it the spin it needs by rotating your wrist. Challenge friends and family or put your skills to the test online** in a 16-player knockout tournament. If you're playing alone, you'll also face some tricky challenges - from moving targets to narrow edges to balance the ball on.
Chanbara
Push your opponent off the platform and into the water in Chanbara! Swing the Joy-Con to attack or block your opponent's attacks and then counterattack. Choose from one of three weapon options - each with its own style. For example, you can wield the twin swords by using two Joy-Con controllers at the same time!
Volleyball
Use the Joy-Con to serve, dig, slam and smash. Cooperation is the key to success here. Work with your playing partner to score points! Raise your arms at the right moment to block balls, and you'll also have the chance to counterattack.
Badminton
Hold the Joy-Con like a racket, swinging left and right while keeping the ball in the air. Execute powerful smashes and play skillful stop balls to gain the upper hand!
Soccer
Run into position and let the giant ball fly into the net with the Joy-Con! Play one-on-one or four-on-four, or use the leg strap (included in the physical version of Nintendo Switch Sports and also sold separately) to impress in Shootout mode.
This summer, a free software update*** will be released that will allow leg strap play in matches as well.
Golf
This fall, a free software update*** will add golf as a sport to the game. Swing the Joy-Con like a golf club to hit the green.
Play with others!
Playing sports is even more fun with friends and family in front of the TV screen! Alternatively, you can connect with them online in a private session.
Use voice chat via the Nintendo Switch Online app**** to discuss strategies or cheer each other on in local multiplayer.
You can also compete online against random players and put your skills to the test!
Customize your look
You can unlock all sorts of cool clothing for your character! Earn points in matches and trade them for new items for a chic look. The selection is updated every week. So check back regularly!
Optionally, you can also play as your Mii character!
