Nintendo has announced Nintendo Switch Sports for Nintendo Switch, with a release coming before this summer.

Nintendo Switch Sports is launching on April 29th.


Here’s a new trailer:

Here’s a rundown on the game:

A sports collection to get the whole family moving!

Get moving with Soccer, Volleyball, Bowling, Tennis, Badminton, and Chambara (swordplay) using Joy-Con controllers!

Controls are intuitive, so you can hit the court (or lanes, or field, or arena) and get started. With controlled motions you can curve your bowling ball, add spin to a tennis shot, or even use a Joy-Con with the included Leg Strap accessory to kick the ball in a Soccer Shoot-Out. Family and friends can join in on the fun on the same system* or online**. Plus a seventh sport is planned to be added via a free update this fall; get ready to Golf!

Party with friends and family in the same room or across the world
Bowl, spike, and duel with friends in all six sports!

Pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend* for some 1v1, 2v2, or a free-for-all that will get everyone moving. In Bowling, all players can bowl simultaneously—no waiting for your turn. Play each sport online**, or team up with a friend on the same system to take on opponents near and far in team sports like Volleyball and Tennis.

Play online and face opponents near and far to earn in-game rewards or aim for the Pro League

Face off against opponents worldwide and strive to reach the Pro League in every sport.

As you play online in random matchmaking, redeem points you earn for in-game rewards like outfits, sports accessories, gear, and much more for your avatar. The selection of items will rotate each week, so check back and see what’s in stock!
