Though Nintendo Switch Sports released in 2022, it’s never too late to rate the seven sports that make up your gameplay. The game allows you to compete against others online to get to the top while earning points to unlock customizable gameplay.

7. Golf

I think I need to give this golf game another shot, but I’m so used to this gameplay since the Wii Sports days that I just find it repetitive. I think it’s a little more sensitive to your movement which allows for more realistic gameplay.

6. Volleyball

The game of volleyball in general is more fast-paced, but I think this version in-game is very slow. I like it, but I find myself wanting the matches to get over because something about this mini gameplay is quiet.

5. Chambara

I didn’t know what Chambara was at first, but I love it. I like the idea that with this sword fighting game in comparison to what we’ve seen in the past, you can play with either one or two controllers. I think this game is pretty easy to win so it might be a little boring after a while, but definitely one of the better sword fighting games I’ve played.

4. Tennis

Tennis is another game I’ve played since the Wii Sports days, but I think something about this one is much, much better than what I’ve played since. If I had one note, I think it should be either 1v1 or 4v4. I’ve played a handful of matches where it was 1v2 and I don’t find it fair for any opponents.

3. Badminton

Opposition to tennis, I think badminton is one of the more favorable games I’ve played. It’s definitely one of the games I’ve played where the controller is sensitive to your movement so you have realistic gameplay.

2. Soccer

I don’t think I’ve ever played a soccer mini game like this for Nintendo, and I love how the concept of it. I love that it’s either 1v1 or 4v4. As 4v4, you open yourself up to creative gameplay playing more defensively or offensively.

1. Bowling

I think this bowling game tops any other in the Nintendo world. I love the idea that you have to stay close to the top to be able to move on. You keep the same mechanics as previous bowling mini games, but it somehow feels like this one is easier to maneuver.
