This game just accentuates everything I hate about Joycons and Nintendo in general. Bowling and Badminton feel fine, everything else feels jank. Why is this $50? For $50 I can get a USB dongle, wiimote+ and sensor bar and be on my merry way with Dolphin playing Wii Sports Resort which absolutely curbstomps this both in what's offered and how much granularity there is in control.

At one point it softlocked our joycon so we had to full restart the game to get it to respond at all. After that the joycons would only register an input a full second later after viciously shaking them and often going in arbitrary directions. Amazing new lows straight out of Nintendo EPD, only topped by the likes of Amiibo Festival.

I'd say it's baffling but I honestly expected no more than only a couple of these to feel decent. Heaven forbid Nintendo 2022 tries to outdo Nintendo 2006. -.5 star for not letting me throw the bowling ball backwards. You can feel how little of a shit they gave.
