So last week, Nintendo invited me to an exclusive preview event in New York City to go hands
on with Nintendo Switch Sports!
It was so fun to be back at an in-person event again and I just have to send a huge thank
you to my friends at Nintendo for making this all possible!
Seriously, this was awesome!
Nintendo Switch Sports is the long-awaited, much anticipated sequel to Wii Sports.
Remember the game that came bundled with the Wii to showcase those motion controls?
You know, bowling, hitting tennis balls, boxing and all of that.
This is the sequel to that game.
Nintendo Switch Sports launches later this month and I can confirm that it is a whole
lot of fun especially with others.
I didn't expect to have a morning workout the day I went to the event but this game
said otherwise.
It really gets you up and moving!
Switch Sports comes packed with 6 sports at launch, soccer volleyball, bowling, tennis,
badminton and cambara.
Cambara is sort of like fencing or swordplay, where you have to knock your opponent off
the edge.
Nintendo said that there is a 7th sport that will be coming later this year in the Fall
and that is going to be Golf.
So there is another sport to look forward to.
During my time with the game, I got to play through all 6 sports and I have to say that
they are all a lot of fun.
Like Wii Sports that came before, Switch Sports gets you up and moving swinging around the
Joy-Con similar to how you would in a real life sport.
You know, with Tennis you can back hand, you can forward hand.
With volleyball, you can up hit the ball and all that so there's a lot of natural movements
in this game that are very accurate to the real world sport.
The one that I did struggle with a bit with was volleyball.
It was a bit tough to time the movements right but it got easier the more that I played it.
What's interesting this time around is that Switch Sports adds in the leg strap, which
is similar to the one from Ring Fit Adventure.
This allows you to move your leg around to kick the ball in soccer.
It adds something unique to get you up and moving!
Out of all 6 of the sports, I would say I liked 4 of them the most.
I liked cambara, I liked soccer, badminton and bowling.
Those, they really stood out to me because they can be downright intense, you know.
That's awesome for a game like this.
You can have some friends over, play some bowling, do some cambara with the sword fighting,
the defending and all of that.
You can see who's the best.
It'll make or break friendships but in the end, that's what makes a game like this fun.
That's make it so cool.
What's also neat is that you'll be able to play all of these sports online so you can
put your skills to the test against your far away friends or random players from around
the world.
After my time with this game, Nintendo was serving up smoothies so I had to have one
and left with an amazing Mango Orange smoothie, which was so good!
And I also got a super cool Nintendo Switch Sports themed water bottle!
I'm going to add it to my collection because I have so many water bottles.
I don't know if you guys know this about me but I have an entire collection of special
edition water bottles.
I got a ton of them!
At the end of the day, I can confirm that Nintendo Switch Sports is shaping up to be
an awesome game that will be a blast to play with friends and family.
If you enjoyed Wii Sports, you'll love Switch Sports.
It's simple, easy to pick up and play and it's just one of those games that you can
just turn on and have some fun with your friends and with your family - but again, do be warned
that it can get insanely competitive, just like in real life sports and that's why I'm
very excited for it!
So which sport are you most looking forward to playing in Nintendo Switch Sports?
Badminton?
Bowling?
Soccer?
Let me know in the comments below!
So before we wrap this video up, I just wanted to send a huge thank you once again to my
friends over at Nintendo not only for the hospitality but also for the invitation.
It was such a cool, just experience to be back at an in-person event once again, you
know.
It has been two whole years since something like this happened and it was just like a
glimpse of getting back to normal.
It was really, really cool stuff.
So Nintendo Switch Sports, awesome game, tons of fun.
Look forward to it at the end of the month and once again Nintendo thank you so much
for having me and I will catch you guys in the next one!
