My takes on Nintendo Switch Sports

  

This is The Chronicles of Trevor, the only blog who's owner is friends with Haru from Wii Sports. Yes, really!

  Ah, the Wii Series. These games are very iconic, from the scenery of Wuhu Island, to the 100 characters that are well known and loved by millions, you can't deny that this series is nostalgic. But in 2021, Nintendo announced a new entry in the series which would change everything for the worst. I'm talking about Nintendo Switch Sports.

    NSS is considered to be a new entry in the Wii Sports series, but it just doesn't feel like a Wii Sports game. It is more like "We Have Wii Sports At Home". Besides, the Sportsmates look like Xbox 360 Avatars if they were designed by Video Brinquedo.

The Sportsmates also use the names of the CPU's from Wii Sports Resort, rubbing salt in the wounds of Mii fans.

That one above is the Sportsmate version of Haru. This one isn't as memorable OR as adorable as her Mii counterpart, as shown below.

Look at her. She is so cute. I thought so when I first saw her in Wii Sports Baseball back when I was 7. She just looks like that one person who's so charming, that they'd make friends with a stick. She just has that innocent look on her face, like "I'd like to be your friend!"

Other than the obvious change, NSS gives us a plaza called Spocco Square, consisting of 8 sports, 6 of which are sports available in previous games. Sure, WSR gave us a few returning sports, but the game modes within each sport made it alright in the eyes of many players.

This game also lacks the personality of the previous titles, especially when it comes to Bowling. In the first 3 games, you could throw the ball backwards, causing the background Miis to spin in shock! This was comedy GOLD back in those days. In Switch Sports however, you can't.

Also, you cannot release the ZL or ZR buttons on the Joy-Con, like how you had to release B in Wii Sports and its 2 other sequels, in order to roll the ball. Releasing the button made it more realistic, like the ball coming out of your hand. Way to confuse your players, Nintendo!

Thank goodness I have a Switch Lite, so I can't play this trash heap. But seeing gameplay of it is how I made this review.

I'd give this game a -4 out of 10.

Thanks for reading this, and have a great day!
