Basketball is finally coming to Nintendo Switch Sports later this summer as a free update, more than two years after its initial release in April 2022. Players will be able to complete in solo three point challenges or play with your friends in a three point local multiplayer contest. There will also be a 2v2 online mode and five-streak battle using motion controls. Check out the trailer from the recent Nintendo Direct below.
Get moving with Golf, Soccer, Volleyball, Bowling, Tennis, Badminton, and Chambara (swordplay) using Joy-Con controllers! Controls are intuitive, so you can hit the court (or lanes, or field, or arena) and get started. With controlled motions, you can curve your bowling ball, add spin to a tennis shot, or even use a Joy-Con with the Leg Strap accessory to kick the ball in Soccer. Family and friends can join in on the fun on the same system or online.
Face off against opponents worldwide and strive to reach the Pro League in every sport. As you play online in random matchmaking, redeem points you earn for in-game rewards like outfits, sports accessories, gear, and much more for your avatar. The selection of items rotates each week, so check back and see what’s in stock!
