Best Nintendo Switch Games For Family Fun: Nintendo Switch Sports

Gaming as a family is a great way to bond and spend quality time together. It also gives parents a chance to enjoy game time with their children and make memories that will last a lifetime. Gaming can be a great way to teach kids about teamwork, problem-solving, and competition in a healthy and fun way. And let's not forget, it's also a great way to relieve some stress and have a little fun. So, next time you're looking for a fun way to spend some quality family time, break out the controllers and give family gaming a try with Nintendo Switch Sports on the Nintendo Switch. 

Nintendo Switch Sports... gets your family off the couch and into the competition in a way that delivers a bit of physical exercise. The physical activity can be increased if you actually get into it and play the game accordingly... instead of shortcuts to pull off the moves, so don't rob yourself of the experience if you're able-bodied, but if not... take the shortcuts and fun it up as much as possible.

Just a heads up, definitely use the connector with the wrist strap... so that the L & R Joycons aren't taking flight into a wall, your TV, or at someone's head. Sure they're lighter than the Wiimote, but... you don't want them damaged or anything else. No worries about forgetting this either, because the game is good at dropping reminders in there to let you know to strap up and get some good arm room before you dive in.

Nintendo Switch Sports serves up 1 to 4-player sports games that you're able to enjoy offline. These games include Tennis, Volleyball, Soccer, Golf, Bowling, Etc. Speaking of bowling, there is an 8-player elimination bowling that isn't often mentioned + 8-player soccer, but... that will require you to connect to the internet. So consider a 12-month individual or family membership.

In regards to online play, another plus is if you're a family of two... you do have the option of playing against others online that include family, friends, and associates as well. The various sports games this title has to offer, serve up fun while challenging accuracy that continues to build onto your stats via the progression system. So there is replay value upon replay value (with the ability to reach the Pro Leagues of each sport).

You also get the ability to unlock a variety of outfits that deliver even more variety for your individual avatar. These avatars are a lot more visually appealing than the previous ones, but... Wii Sports is still played by millions of people because the fun factor never left the building.

The same applies to this game because you're essentially picking up and playing sports games, three of which are faves from Wii Sports (Golf, Tennis, and Bowling). One of my new faves in Nintendo Switch Sports is... Volleyball.

Another plus about this game is that it could be a glimpse into a potential sport that your youngling may find genuine interest in playing. You can get Nintendo Switch Sports for $49.99 for the physical version or $39.99 for the digital version. The reason why the physical version costs more... is because of the included leg strap to play soccer. You can actually buy that separately or get creative by making your own sleep to put on your leg. 

While there's certainly nothing wrong with getting the physical version (and yes... I'm about to actually say this), it's probably safer to get the digital version if your youngling has a habit of losing things. Not only is the game digital, but it can be downloaded again if deleted... but the physical version is gone if it's lost and can't be found. The only thing that will make that reappear is either a bloodhound able to track it down or... $49.99 to replace it.

Overall, this is a great game to switch things up to get you on your feet while doing something fun and physical with your loved ones. On that note, check out Nintendo Switch Sports and game on!

Best Nintendo Switch Games For Family Fun: Mario Kart 8 Ultimate

Gaming as a family is a great way to bond and spend quality time together. It also gives parents a chance to enjoy game time with their children and make memories that will last a lifetime. Gaming can be a great way to teach kids about teamwork, problem-solving, and competition in a healthy and fun way. And let's not forget, it's also a great way to relieve some stress and have a little fun. So, next time you're looking for a fun way to spend some quality family time, break out the controllers and give family gaming a try with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - This game easily tops the list because of the competitive fun it delivers... on a long-term basis via kart racing fun. You can play with up to 4-players locally from the same system, and 8 players total via online play. A plus about this game is that it doesn't have a steep learning curve for new kart racers and younger kids. Smart Steering is a feature in this game that allows you to drive and stay on the track a lot easier, so you aren't just hanging up the Joycon.

This game delivers tons of replay value, it doesn't just end at riding on a track with your selected character, it's all about the competition (baby)... so choose one of the many characters (i.e. Baby Mario) and jump into dozens upon dozens of tracks to fun it up with the family (in a variety of modes).

This tops the list because it's great for teaching teamwork, and learning good sportsmanship in terms of when the kids win and... especially when they lose. Not for nothing, but when they lose it will help them in the long run, because... you help them get into the habit of picking themselves up and trying again versus giving up. 

Encouragement to try-try again should be enough to get them back into the kart for fun compared to a participation trophy, because you win some... you lose some. Healthy competition is all fun but the plus is that it unconsciously helps in other areas of life.

Sure you get the online play that allows you to fill in the blanks where other racers are concerned if you don't want to play against the AI, sure it adds to the replay value because it makes the competition virtually endless, but... make family fun the ultimate goal. Game on!

This game is rated... E for Everyone.
