Swing, kick and spike your way to victory in Nintendo Switch Sports for NintendoSwitch!

Grab a Joy-Con controller and use real-world movements to take part in a variety of sporting activities that'll get your body moving. Gather your friends and family to join in the fun on the same Nintendo Switch console, or seek out new competitors in online multiplayer!

Take part in intense doubles matches by gripping your Joy-Con like a racket and timing your swings at the right moment to fire shots past your opponent. Adjust your swing to add some topspin or slice to your shots, or even swing upwards for a crafty lob shot!

Swing your Joy-Con to roll the ball, adding a little curve by twisting your wrist. Challenge family and friends to a bowling tourney, or put your skills to the test in a 16-player knockout game online**. There are a host of tricky challenges to take on if you're playing solo too, such as moving obstacles to avoid and narrow ledges to bowl down.

Battle it out in Chambara and drive your rival off the edge of the platform and down into the water below! Swing your Joy-Con to attack, or block your opponent's strikes to create an opening to counter. Choose your weaponry from one of three options each with their own unique playstyles, such as the Twin Swords that can be wielded by using two Joy-Con at once!

Use a Joy-Con controller to serve, bump, set, and spike the ball. The key to winning is co-operation, so work together with your partner to create openings and score points! Throwing your arms up at the right time will block incoming shots and give you an opportunity to counter too.

Hold your Joy-Con like a racket and go one-on-one to see who rules the court. Swing left and right to keep the shuttleco*ck in the air, unleashing powerful smash shots and crafty drop shots to gain the upper hand on your opponent.

Run into position and use your Joy-Con to send the giant ball flying into the back of the net! Use the Leg Strap accessory (included with the physical version of Nintendo Switch Sports and also available separately) to unleash impressive volleys in both Shoot-Out mode and in one-on-one or four-on-four matches*.

Gather family and friends around the TV for some sporting fun, or connect with them online in a private session.

Whether using voice chat via the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app** to discuss strategies from afar, or cheering each other on in local multiplayer, there's always a way to rally the team.

You can also challenge yourself against random opponents online and really put those sports skills to the test!

Earn all sorts of cool gear for your character to wear as you play! Gather points by competing in matches online and redeem them for a snazzy new look. The selection refreshes every week so be sure to play regularly to see what's up for grabs.

You can play as your Mii character too if you prefer!

If you're up for the challenge, try aiming for Pro Certification in each sport. Jumping online to compete with players all over the world will give you the chance to increase your Pro League rank. There are dedicated achievements to earn along the way too, so there's plenty to spur you on as you work your way up the ranks!
