We&#8217;ve had Nintendo Switch Sports for about a week, but we haven&#8217;t had access to the online modes yet. Because of this we&#8217;re holding off on our actual review. But now the embargo&#8217;s lifted we wanted to tell you a bit about how the game feels offline at least. This isn&#8217;t a review, then, but good news &#8211; we think the game&#8217;s brilliant.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNintendo Switch Sports launches with six sports. Tennis, chambara and bowling will be familiar to fans of the series, although there are a few tweaks throughout. Football, badminton and volleyball are new. (Golf is coming as a free update in the autumn.) Today I&#8217;ll focus on the new games to keep things brisk, but I&#8217;ll cover the complete package of games in the final review.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBadminton is the most familiar of the new games. It&#8217;s also the one which I&#8217;ve played the least so far. It&#8217;s great: inevitably it feels like a lighter, faster tennis, which makes sense. There&#8217;s a lovely feel to the shuttlecock as it zips back and forth, and while aiming is important, most of the games I&#8217;ve played have relied on the use of drop shots and the more powerful smashes.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/the-effortless-joy-of-nintendo-switch-sports\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source &#8211; eurogamer.net<\/p>\n<p>All content and images belong to their respected owners.
