RELATED: Best Party Video Games of All Time, Ranked Yet, aside from a few outliers, Switch's library remains curiously thin when it comes to games that resemble the iconic Wii Sports. It's especially baffling, as the Switch's improved motion controls and online capabilities would seemingly make it a great platform for sports games. This is somewhat ironic, considering the Wii's most successful game is a compilation of sporting romps. Find details on the submission page.While the Nintendo Switch is home to a slew of great titles spanning many genres and styles, it's not exactly lighting it up in the sports department.

Also, at the start of most games, you have to point the Wii Remote at the screen and press “A.” Unfortunately, you have to calibrate the Wii Remote every time you start the game, by putting it on a flat surface and keeping it still. It gets pretty intense.Īnd with the addition of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, the Wii Remote is much more responsive. However, if you crash, you lose balloons. It is kind of like Island Flyover, but with two players, and you try to end up with the most balloons at the end, by getting to the assigned “I” point first. However, Dogfight is my favorite mode of all the games on Wii Sports Resort.

It has skydiving, which introduces the game, and Island Flyover, where you try to find as many sightseeing points as you can on Wuhu Island and Wedge Island (the golfing island). Power Cruising is not very fun (in my opinion) but it has two modes, moving through rings and VS.Ĭanoeing is also very, very boring, and the canoe is impossible to control, but it has two modes: Speed Challenge and VS.Ĭycling is pretty fun too, with the Road Race mode and VS mode.Īir Sports is one of my favorite categories. Spin control is where you have blockers on the alley, and you have to put some spin on the ball to avoid them. Golf has only one variant, but it has three-, nine-, and eighteen-hole options, with multiple golf courses.īowling has three modes: a standard game of bowling, a one-hundred-pin version, and a version called Spin Control. In the Return Challenge, you have to return as many balls as possible in the playing field. In the Match, you play a normal table tennis (ping-pong) game with a computer opponent that gets more challenging as you move up. Table Tennis has two modes: Match and Return Challenge. Frisbee Golf is not the sport where you have to get the Frisbee in the ring, it is where you are on an actual golf course with a Frisbee trying to get it in the area next to the hole.īasketball has a three-point contest that is not that fun, but the pickup game is extremely fun. Wakeboarding only has one mode, but has three experience levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.įrisbee has two variations: Frisbee Dog and Frisbee Golf. Swordplay has three modes: Duel, Speed Slice, and Showdown. There are even more than twelve sports, because most of the sports have multiple variations. There is swordplay, wakeboarding, Frisbee, archery, basketball, table tennis, golf, bowling, power cruising, canoeing, cycling, and air sports. I like almost all of the twelve sports offered in the game. Nintendo’s Wii Sports Resort is a very good game-one of the best for the Wii.
