Nintendo Switch Sports 2 Years On - How does it compare? || Nintendo Switch Sports Review

[@tunnelmannen]

Great video man! Got a bit shocked when I saw only 98 views after I watched it. Got the quality and polish of a 10k-100k video at least. Hope the algorithm picks this guy up

[@J1mothyyy]

Thank you! I was a little nervous about uploading it cause its different from what I've been doing, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@tgreg9542]

It did, I got recommend and never heard of this channel.

[@J1mothyyy]

The algorithm did pick it up 😂 You were right

[@A22Alex]

They just need to remaster Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort to the switch.. that would be the ultimate game!

[@J1mothyyy]

Agreed, I could also get behind a remake, in the switch sports art style, cause to be honest I like it a lot, it’s got a lot of character to it that a lot of games lack these days

[@OKZUR]

Great video! The fact that the developers said they couldn't top Wii Sports Resort and Wii Sports makes me wish that they ported it to Switch. They would have put Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort in the same package, kind of like Super Mario 3D All Stars. I hope Nintendo will learn from this and even port Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort to the next Nintendo console now that there are so many rumours about it. I'm sure they will be able to port those two games to the next Nintendo console. They could add Online Play which would be a really nice addition because that would be fun. They could make the same level system for Online Play as for Offline Play, but with a slightly higher pro level. And I don't want a menu like in Switch Sports but similar to Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. Make somewhere in the bottom even if Online Play on and off. Edit: I believe that the port to the new Nintendo console, if it came, would be much more popular because of Online Play and not just because of that. There would probably be a lot more videos on KZbin of people playing Wii Sports online. Wii Sports + Resort was pretty damn good so I wouldn't be surprised at all that the port would get a lot of popularity. I wouldn't think that port would be as dead as Switch Sports and I think that's for sure.

[@J1mothyyy]

Thank you! I wholeheartedly agree, a remake/port that includes online play, and uses the better tracking we have in the joy cons would make for an insanely good title.

[@bryanrodriguez2577]

Nice video dude! I'm surprised this video doesn't have more views. I didn't buy Switch Sports because I was skeptical of how they could create a better game than the masterpiece that is Wii Sports Resort. It's a shame they didn't pour as much love as they did with Resort.

[@J1mothyyy]

Thank you! Hopefully the algorithm picks it up soon 😂 I preordered it, and to be honest, I played it on release and only picked it up again for this video. I’d rather go back to Wii Sports or Wii Sports Resort, which are significantly better than this, which is really disappointing

[@MadMewMew-mu3eq]

I find it really funny how soccer is literally just rocket league

[@J1mothyyy]

You’re not wrong 😂

[@rohanisya2]

Rocket league but slower paced and you can curve the ball

[@tgreg9542]

Or is rocket league, soccer????

[@Qyubij]

​@tgreg9542 yeah lmao it's like saying this battle royal game is just fortnite

[@J1mothyyy]

I mean, I was kinda thinking about this, the reason why I’d compare it to rocket league over soccer directly is because of the fact both soccer in this and rocket league have a massively oversized ball, but it’s still basically soccer either way

[@olliedudd9847]

I've not played it yet, but based on your video and what others have said, Switch Sports is great at what it does. The issue seems like there's simply not much that you can do. One of my favourite things to do in Wii Sports was to earn medals in the training / minigames area. It really felt like more love was put into the originals whereas this seems to lack the charming extra bits that we all loved :(

[@J1mothyyy]

Agreed, Switch sports is really good at being a sports game on the Switch. But they took away pretty much all the sub modes/training modes that Wii Sports had, and all the little fun things you could do, like throwing the bowling ball backwards etc. So yeah, its great at what it does, but its not Wii Sports/Wii Sports resort

[@tgreg9542]

@@J1mothyyyit’s better the Wii Sports, but not better then Resort. My opinion🙌

[@J1mothyyy]

I disagree, Wii Sports Resort goes hard 😂

[@Naatx.]

Honestly it can still be saved (even tho they won't) by adding more sports and an open hub where you can see other players online a bit like splatoon

[@J1mothyyy]

Ohhh that’s be really cool. Complete side note, this game outsold Spiderman 2, so hopefully they’ll do a Wii Sports Resort remake and add the hub there, since you’re right, they won’t add more sports to Switch Sports

[@Enigmalake]

@@J1mothyyyor will they? 😂 🏀

[@J1mothyyy]

Bro I thought this game was forgotten about by Nintendo 😂

[@Enigmalake]

@@J1mothyyy 1 new game added every 2 years. Iol

[@J1mothyyy]

Next they add baseball 😂

[@hiraishin8655]

I’ve never player mii resort before ,buy im having tons of fun paling switch sport. 2 years late btw,just bought last week and cant stop play ever since

[@J1mothyyy]

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I need to try basketball now that it’s out

[@Kookie_TV]

ngl i agree with what you said, they absolutely killed off the character that there used to be in wii resort

[@J1mothyyy]

It’s honestly a little gutting. The game has some nice things about it but it doesn’t hit the same

[@TakaDaniku24]

Can you make a video about why Wii Sports Resort Club was never released? Although the reason why it didn't arrive is very obvious, is another video of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort also necessary?

[@J1mothyyy]

I wasn’t aware of any Wii Sports Resort Club ever being planned, have you got links to anything? And what do you mean by “is another video of Nintendo switch sports resort also necessary?” I’m confused 😂

[@iPlayBoyNo1]

Lol, now basketball is added, hopefully the game gets even more sports, that would be great, really like the Sports Series…

[@J1mothyyy]

God I’m hype for basketball, it looks even better than Resort

[@_Alex_2009_]

nintendo really thinks that nintendo switch doesnt need miis-

[@J1mothyyy]

It has miis! They’re just no where as prevalent as on the Wii and Wii U

[@_Alex_2009_]

@@J1mothyyy yeah…can i ask something. should i buy the game

[@J1mothyyy]

I mean, it’s not a bad game, if you’re looking for Wii Sports on the switch, it’s basically that

[@claynspray3024]

​@@J1mothyyyya just polished to fit our generation.

[@namelessfrce5842]

Basketball coming summer 2024 what's your thought?

[@J1mothyyy]

It looks like an expansion of what we had in Wii Sports Resort, and I loved basketball in WSR, so I’m hoping this is even better

[@bb.cute.channel]

We need Nintendo Switch Sports to have BASEBALL and Boxing. They are still MISSING!!!! 😢😢😢😢

[@J1mothyyy]

Baseball absolutely, boxing I am fine with not being in Switch Sports 😂

[@bb.cute.channel]

@@J1mothyyy Nintendo Switch Sports is still MISSING Baseball ⚾️ and Boxing🥊!!!! 😂😂😂😂 We all need to contact Nintendo to add Baseball and Boxing to Nintendo Switch Sports the next FREE update!!!! 👍

[@J1mothyyy]

I’d rather they brought back stuff from WSR or new sports

[@gmx4479]

Honestly i think this game is pretty great yeah the little easter eggs which was removed are a bit of a downer but we did get other things come back that brings nostalgia, like the option to vs the Legends like matt with them just releasing basketball i hope they bring back something like baseball still in the end great game

[@J1mothyyy]

I’m almost hopeful they could bring baseball back, if they were willing to add Basketball after more than 2 years When I’m back from my trip I’ll play basketball and maybe do a cheeky review 😂

[@skeenwalker]

Guess I’ll keep playing the originals until Nintendo decides to just remaster them. Great video!!

[@J1mothyyy]

Thank you! I wanna check out Wii Sports Club, interesting that they went to the effort of remastering a game you could already play on the Wii U

[@itzkaden]

i wouldve got it if it had baseball

[@J1mothyyy]

I wish they’d brought baseball back. Baseball and Tennis were 2 of my favourites

[@Creampuf1977]

I would've got it if it had boxing

[@J1mothyyy]

Nintendo Switch sports 2 surely 🙏

[@Enigmalake]

How bout now

[@tgreg9542]

After 150 hour in this game, and going pro in every sport. I can honestly say this game is my favorite iteration of the Nintendo Sports IP. As a kid playing offline trying to beat my best score got very boring. So the addition of online makes this game wayyyyy better. Only negative is you can’t train, and we needed more sports.

[@J1mothyyy]

Online is good, but yeah, the lack of training and sports in general is a real disappointment

[@anth636]

I’ve rarely been able to find anyone online

[@J1mothyyy]

I managed to find games but it wasn’t quick

[@silverwolflee6978]

Great Video but we can't forget Wii Sports Club

[@J1mothyyy]

I haven’t played it! It’s just a remaster of Wii Sports right?

[@sonicjhiq]

I kind of wish golf included the Wii sports club lakeside holes, because playing golf on Wii sports club is irritating at best with the forced gamepad use

[@J1mothyyy]

That would’ve been cool, a missed opportunity. Also, why the fuck do they make you use the gamepad? 😂😂

[@sonicjhiq]

@@J1mothyyy they wanted something to point at as a good use for it

[@J1mothyyy]

So hold on, you point the wiimote at the gamepad??

[@sonicjhiq]

@@J1mothyyy yeah you have to do that, you can probably find a video on KZbin of someone doing it but I meant "point at" as in, an excuse to use the gamepad having it unnecessarily shoehorned in

[@J1mothyyy]

That’s a classic Wii U thing though 😂 but yeah that would be a real pain, maybe I should track down a copy…

[@rkmalexander7710]

wait did they add golf and bowling?

[@J1mothyyy]

I think bowling was there day 1, but golf got added in a free update a few months after release

[@calex5591]

I started this similar w release buy and again recently picking it back up. I quit before bc of the bot AI affecting game outcome a lot in soccer which is my favorite like the goal keeping and their inability to score most of the time in a normal scoring circumstance. Then there is a skill level much higher that the computer doesn’t match w ppl “helicoptering” to higher altitudes making interception very difficult bc they’re at max height by the time i get there. Then the goalie misses it over his head when it’s an easy block. When I turned rank off, I started enjoying it again but always thankful it wasn’t rank. Rocket league just too much and over the top for me and I don’t want to have to get a PhD in soccer to play online fifa. Golf awesome but would be nice to see more course variability in online. It’s almost perfect though. Same w tennis and should’ve had tennis scoring but still solid and fun. Volleyball too teammate dependent and bots just can’t win it for your you despite perfect set. Like soccer, it’s like they want you to do it not the bots but it can’t be reliable to score and have fun this way. Badminton not my favorite and I haven’t really played it much or chambra. Not that interested. Bowling solid. I wish there was as more pro bowling than the garden variety. It’s like a 5:1 ratio or more. Basketball terrible. It’s like a game and watch game w how limited. Almost not worth it. You can’t pump fake. For such a free flowing game, it’s like a rail shooter.

[@J1mothyyy]

It’s a game I want to try again soon, so I can give basketball a go and compare it to Wii Sports Resort, cause I LOVED basketball in WSR. Though switch sports is good , it’s just not as good as previous entries in the series which is a real shame honestly

[@J1mothyyy]

I finally played Basketball, don't know if I agree to be honest. It's definitely different from Wii Sports Resort, but I think it's pretty solid, definitely a step up from the WSR Version

[@KamdenRichardson-qt4wm]

I play Nintendo switch sports. It's so much fun.

[@J1mothyyy]

It’s not a bad game, it’s just not as good as Wii sports or Wii Sports resort 😂

[@sunxnes]

Badminton and volleyball are great because the skill ceiling is really high

[@J1mothyyy]

That’s fair, but having badminton AND tennis?

[@tgreg9542]

Swinging both joycons does not make you fall over, that’s how you perform a diving head butt

[@J1mothyyy]

I mean, that makes sense but it also does make you fall over 😂

[@tgreg9542]

@@J1mothyyy 😂😂😂

[@monster3bod]

So there no baseball?

[@J1mothyyy]

Nope! Tennis, Chambara, Golf and bowling came back, but Soccer, Badminton and Volleyball are new

[@Muriloyh]

Bro, what a good video and so good that it crossed the border lol

[@J1mothyyy]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ❤

[@TakaDaniku24]

Also another Wii Party video deserves a remake or new game or Port of Wii Party U for Nintendo Switch or Switch 2

[@J1mothyyy]

I've never played Wii Party, lemme track down a copy lol

[@J1mothyyy]

Copy ordered, video coming when I have time 😂 Wii U party is a little harder to find

[@XTOPHER__]

So much opportunity wasted for the sake of modernity. Like the possibility for making it open world. This just feels lazy and soulless. They should have made it in Wuhu Island. I'm mad

[@J1mothyyy]

God a Wii Sports Resort Remake with some new games would’ve been so good

[@visual_chris]

it's just not the same without boxing imo

[@J1mothyyy]

See I really miss Baseball, that was my favourite. Didn't play a lot of boxing cause I played 2P and we only had 1 nunchuck for a long time

[@FarazSyed-ke2cv]

Badminton is my fav. Can smash all the time and burn more calories

[@J1mothyyy]

Oh burning calories is a good shout

[@Darkmilo13]

Wheres boxing

[@J1mothyyy]

They didn’t bring it to Switch Sports :/

[@_Alex_2009_]

i hope that they bring boxing.

[@J1mothyyy]

Hopefully, I wouldn’t be surprised if the series has another entry on the Switch 2, it sold extremely well I believe

[@claynspray3024]

They sucked all the fun out of it, it would be funny to see other players mii creations because you could make them look like anyone, now they have these huge eyes with a cartoony style and all look the same. Im not a huge fan of that.

[@J1mothyyy]

Though Miis are definitely better, I don’t hate the new cartoony style. It’s more that, any cosmetics are locked behind playtime and so many people won’t play super often, so won’t have that many cosmetics and are stuck with base cosmetics, which makes everyone look the same

[@Sithedd]

It's a disappointment for me... just nothing like the original in terms of charm.

[@J1mothyyy]

Agreed, there were so many minor things they took away which made Wii Sports (and Sports Resort) awesome

[@tgreg9542]

The game has plenty of charm you just have to find it. It has many Easter eggs. But the real difference is the online play and the unlockable rewards. Like the frying pan tennis racket or the shrimp and rice bowling ball😂 seriously the Wii version I would just play alone against CPU with no rewards system in place which gets very stale. In this I love to test my true skills and since I’m pro online the completion is fierce.💯 IDK Nintendo Sports is my favorite Nintendo IP besides Mario Kart💯

[@J1mothyyy]

The rewards are cool, but what Easter eggs are you talking about? It would’ve been nice if they included the popular “Easter eggs” from the original as references, such as throwing the bowling ball backwards etc.

[@Sithedd]

I think I could say that I'd rather have other forms of charm than outfits and unlockable hairstyles. Every generic game does that. We already had Miis and it was a big fail in my eyes to not use them. In fact, it's a crime that most first party Nintendo games pretend like Switch doesn't have a Mii maker.@@tgreg9542

[@J1mothyyy]

It’s a real shame they didn’t bring Miis back, but at least the new art style isn’t horrific, but agreed the rewards are pretty generic and not a standout feature these days

[@ZeeLover123]

how hard is it to just remaster Wii Sports? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@J1mothyyy]

The kinda did a remaster on the Wii U called Wii Sports Club, might try track down a copy 👀

[@Fievelavie]

Wii sports was better

[@J1mothyyy]

Switch sports has some good aspects, but yeah, Wii Sports is better

[@ZeeLover123]

I miss boxing 👎🏼

[@J1mothyyy]

Boxing went hard, they need to bring it back for Switch Sports Resort 👀

[@Kookie_TV]

the game is kinda garbage imo, like no boxing???? wtf??? And they killed off Miis for this goofy ahh avatar that looks like it's from cocomelon? Volleyball plays like a turn-based RPG? Soccer is just rocket league? Chambara is just beat saber but objectively worse? Golf is even more boring than real golf? Badminton is fun but gets boring quick Bowling did no justice to the original?

[@Qyubij]

OK you're just meat riding at this point and you cannot deny it lmao
