Nintendo Switch Sports review touts a fun and nostalgic game, but has a few missteps

review in progress Nintendo Switch Sportsyou can view all scores below.

Most critics thought it was a fun game full of Wii Sports nostalgia, but others thought it lacked variety and consisted of “a bit of junk.” That said, this seems like a multiplayer party game worth checking out, despite the fact that the servers weren’t in time for comment.

Similar to Wii Sports, the game includes a range of sports that let you jump right into the action using the Joy-Con controller. Including six sports including football, volleyball, bowling, tennis, badminton and fencing. You can even kick the ball in a soccer shootout with the Joy-Con and the leg strap accessory included in the physical version.

A seventh sport, golf, will join the game in the fall.

The game allows you to play 1v1, 2v2 or free against others in person or online. When bowling with others, players can bowl at the same time, so there is no need to wait for your turn. When you play random matches online, you can redeem the points you earn for in-game rewards like clothing, sports accessories, gear, and more in exchange for your avatar. The selection of projects will rotate weekly.

Scores are below, and all scores are capped at 10 unless otherwise stated.

• Eurogamer – Ongoing – “Nintendo Switch Sports is a delight and has kept me busy all week. The setting is great and the new Sportsmates avatar is surprisingly charming. What impresses me most is how Nintendo made It’s all made so easy…. and the motion controls are offered in a way that I have to admit I hardly thought about them. Why? Because it all feels natural.
• The Verge – No Score – “I love Nintendo Switch Sports – it’s a neat little game that will be popular with kids, but feels like a reminder that the Switch has motion controls that are actually pretty good. Wii Sports is “It was critical to the Wii’s huge success. While I don’t think Nintendo Switch Sports will have the same impact on the Switch, I know it will come in handy at parties. “
