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!
This game is rated E for Everyone!
