I played this game every single day for the longest time. It's nothing compared to Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, but it's still fun.
My brother convinced my little sister that the joy-cons are voice activated and could take screenshots my saying “switch: screenshot!” And then when she did, my brother would hit the screenshot button on his controller. She thought that was the coolest thing ever and I didn’t have the heart to tell her otherwise. So anyways, the game kinda sucks.
faltou mais esporte
Eu nunca joguei o wii sports, mas esse jogo é bem competente pra mim. Ele é bem divertido e mais ainda jogando com amigos.
The burger skin has lettuce jiggle physic’s, 11/10
This is a poor man’s wii sports.

did not feel like there was any effort or passion
Switch Sports is just as fun as the Wii Sports games. The sports all have that wacky, yet satisfying gameplay that's so iconic to the series.
However, as much as nintendo fans like to overly whine about "charm", a big part of these games' appeal was playing all these sports as your Miis. And while you CAN do that, clearly it was an afterthought, as the Sportsmates have lots of customization that would've been really fun for Miis, but Miis can't equip them. Plus, Wuhu Island getting left behind just makes this game feel like an unnecessary and pointless attempt to "evolve" the series. It's not that big of a deal, but it does devalue the experience a tiny bit.
Also Badminton serves zero purpose here when we already have tennis.

Not nearly as fun as Wii Sports
This is proof that you can’t recreate perfection
It's fun, don't get me wrong. But it's a considerable downgrade from Wii Sports Resort which already makes it a cashgrab. To add insult to injury I would say this game is worse than Wii Sports. It doesn't have the novelty of that game, nor the charm. And there is a considerable lack of content: everywhere. I appreciate the cosmetics being free, but the fact that you just have to...hope they appear again if you missed them is insane.
It's an enjoyable game, but you can't help but compare it to its predecessors Wii sports, and Wii sports resort; Nintendo should've brought those games to the switch instead of implementing a new one.
The sports that are in it are very cool, but there are so few, I expected more sports right at launch, or faster updates bringing them in.
Tennis still peak, and volleyball is so cool to play

GAME COULD OF BEEN GOOD IF IT HAD A OFFLINE MODE NINTENDO.
the art style is better than those disgusting mii models from wii sports.

Nintendo Switch Sports is a worthy successor to the original game, Wii Sports, but isn’t up to snuff to Wii Sports Resort. All the sports this time around feel a lot more technical and controls way better. All your actions feel way more precise and deliberate while before it almost felt like there was a bit of luck that contributed to your success in these games. The online multiplayer is quite fun and runs great with battle-royale-bowling being a highlight. The intensity of making sure your bowling is perfect through that mode makes it a thrill once you finally win. There aren’t too many modes, so the game does feel barebones at times but as a casual game you play with friends and family, it’s still great.
A fun game however sometimes the motions won't be picked up correctly etc. Also a lack of some of the original sports (baseball) also just lacks that same charm as wii sports
has got nothing on wii sports and especially wii sports resort
It's fun, and okay, but not as good as Wii Sports.
This game wishes it was as life altering as Wii Sports.
Kind of a nothing burger. Badminton is alright but the few other activities are not that fun.

wahoo! another nintendo cash grab!
this is just a sad version of wii sports man...
Holy mother of Jesus they fumbled so hard not adding dlc to this game on top of the tiny collection of sports
For what it is though it’s a fun time, especially with other people in person.

Fixe com amigos, deve ser deprimente a solo.
Decent Successor, but they should’ve just brought back the original. It’s not like the motion controls were any different.
Worse than Wii Sports but its serviceable as a party game with friends
i played it
A guilty pleasure. I play this with my friends or when I dont have anything to play.And for that, this game works and it's fun when you leak your friends IP address and make death threats on their entire families because they are winning in a tennis game

A good basis with horrible layers on top
Nintendo Switch Sports is by far not a very ambitious approach to a sequel. I am actually fine with that because I was longing for a pick-up-and-play game to enjoy on the couch with friends. Sadly the experience is tainted by an unnecessary limited progression system that is locked behind the Nintendo Switch Online service.
The games themselves are a mixed bag. As you can read from the other reviews here. Everyone has a different opinion on each sport. Some like the volleyball a lot while others see it as sluggish and thus unplayable. I certainly like all of them a bit which is fine by my book.
Especially the fact that every player, no matter the experience, can get into the games quickly is an important factor.
But I cannot, with emphasis, support the decision they made with the online multiplayer progression. Nintendo wants you to subscribe to their crappy online service pretty conspicuously by locking the entire progression - yes, that means every cosmetic and level up - behind this paywall. You not only need to pay for it, you also need to play it online, so basically any match you play with your mates in the same room means nothing in terms of progression. Keep that in mind! Knowing this would have affected my decision to buy this game.
Even better - Nintendo themselves realized that this system is beyond crooked and released a day one patch that allows you to unlock two items per week by playing against bots - alone, which again defeats the purpose of players like myself who just want to spend an awful lot of money for a game to play in social gatherings. I never expected by all means Nintendo to fail so utterly on their core approach to video games.
So, all in all - the core game is still fun with friends but I just can't ignore the feeling that I am missing out when I'm not playing online. I despise feeling forced to spend money in games that I already payed 50€ for, be it for battle passes, season passes, online membership, cosmetics or any other shenanigans the developers can come up with these days.

it's got heart but missing a few key components. doesn't have the spirit of wii sports imo but still servicable if that's what you're looking for
