Nintendo Switch Sports Review - The Highs and Lows of Modern Nintendo

It's finally time for my full review of Nintendo Switch Sports! I've been playing this game a lot over the past month and a half, and I have a lot of thoughts on it. There's a lot of great stuff about it, but there's also so much that's disappointing. Now I'm gonna go play some Wii Sports Resort. Thanks for Watching!

The fact the developers themselves stated they didn’t think they could top Wii Sports Resort, makes me wish they just remastered/remade that game instead.

[hrudypeela]

The problem has become pushing a game out early when it’s unfinished and most people ignoring it, leading to a low amount of users to experience the finished product

[puupuupoo]

You've pretty much outlined perfectly how many of us feel. I do thoroughly enjoy this game and what it offers, I don't regret the purchase at all, but it's a shame how there's so much missed opportunity. I really have grown to irk the model of "release now, finish later" that this game and many others have been following, but I do genuinely believe this game could stand alongside Wii Sports/Resort as one of the greats if the developers are fully committed to it.

Still thinking this game would just have had a lot more popularity if Nintendo just released a version of both wii sports and wii sports resort together for the Nintendo switch, just like they did with super Mario 3d all stars

[PhilUP]

Having less sports and not putting golf on launch day is iffy considering Nintendo considers it as a "sequel” in the series. This game does have potential to be good but we haven't seen any actual new gameplay content aside from just cosmetics (which you can’t even get offline).

*If I had to rank the series (at the moment):*
1. Wii Sport Resort
2. Wii Sport
3. Switch Sports
4. Wii Sport Club

Can’t still forgive Nintendo for replacing the Mii’s

[friendlynightmares]

Excellent video. Also glad you talked about the 'free update model' that Nintendo has been utilizing lately. I was JUST talking to my friend last night about our frustrations with ACNH.

+glad you mentioned about the world being so thought out and detailed yet not being able to explore it freely. I don't have this game, but if they included an update where you can just walk around, day or night, and explore each facility, chill, listen to some nice music, etc I would buy it immediately. I don't know why but that just sounds so nice.

Imagine if they made Switch Sports Resort. That would be awesome ngl. I really want to see a modern-day version of Wuhu Island with a improved island flyover and such.

It's important to point out the faults of something you still enjoy. Otherwise it will never improve. I really admire your passion for this series. Watching your other Sports videos helps me truly understand where your points in this review are coming from. And although I haven't played the game myself, I agree with evrrything you said if that makes any sense haha.

[BeeDeeCH]

I love this game, but your right about not having online services, the “Miis” look terrible although I like that you can put your actual Mii as the body. Nintendo needs to add table tennis, wake boarding ect, to actually make the game more interesting.

[AlekMax]

My favorite part of this game is the fact that the Spocco Square theme has bits of the Wii Sports Resort theme in it.

[osfanbuff]

Definitely a great sum of the game. I could list to that main menu music all day lol. I personally have somehow figured out how to still have some replayability out of this game without Switch Online, but it really takes away from the game a lot. I really hope they come out with 1) an update with being able to explore the world, and 2) more content offline.

Imagine if the boat next to Bowling takes you out (when in a exploration mode) to Wuhu Island, where you can:

- Explore, of course :P
- Play Chambara in the classic swordplay arena
- Play other sports that didn't make it into the game (maybe a basketball court? o-o)
- Play Golf maybe, since the Spocco Square area really isn't suited very well

And maybe even more? If that ever happens (which I *highly* doubt it ever will), would make it absolutely my dream successor to Wii Sports.

On the free update model, I agree. It should be noted that updates exist everywhere, but having to wait like 6 months is absurd.

Maybe we could still get Switch Sports Resort from that video...

[SavageXPlayz]

it would be sick if you could walk around the spocco square and join games while walking up to it. Even online it would be great seeing other players walk around and interacting with each other.

[Radiant_Emerald]

Even if this game had 12 sports it wouldn't be all that good because of how they treated the single player offerings. Gone is the experience system and fighting stronger miis as you gain more experience. Now you just select a difficulty, once you play that difficulty once you have no reason to play it ever again.

[skinsthewin]

I fully agree! How cool would it have been to have a mode where you can go about your day on foot and explore the entire place, go to shops to spend your points & earn your unlockables that way, from both shops, restaraunts, etc. That would have been cool as hell! Definitely a missed opportunity there. I feel Japanese developers in general have lacked imagination for a while now & it's a shame.

[BC-nsfr]

I wish they added some kind of boat trip to Wuhu Island one day

[zakuraiyadesu]

Loved the review. Such an underrated channel!!!

[edmartinez]

12:12 that's how I feel. I wanted to try new customization but I'm forced to use a sportsmate to even enjoy the custom headgears. Still it would've been better if those sportsmates were to get their own series instead of being in the wii sports series and replace the miis as the main characters.

[jacksonlovesnintendo]

amazing review. Couldn't have worded it better myself. Gameplay is great, the new avatars and locals are actually really cool too -just underutilized, music is banger, etc. But the lack of content and mode variations really hurt it from becoming the true Resort sequel. Feels like an in-between of OG Wii Sports and Resort.

[blazyrod]

I want to buy this game and have fun I really do, but I can stop thinking of what could’ve been, you said it so well, the have an entire movement system for the sports mates, let us walk around the areas, I can’t stop thinking about a true HD Wuhu Island and walking up to the bowling alley and start a game with friends
