Nintendo has always been one of the most innovative game developers in the world, and its focus on interactive and physical gaming experiences has been around for a long time. One of its most famous was for the Wii console, centering on Wii Sports, with the iconic game being inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame only last year.
Nintendo Switch Sports continued this legacy, and it was its current console take on the experience, leveraging the JoyCon controllers’ renowned gyro controls to replicate the experience for gamers. It was previously leaked that Nintendo’s Switch console, powered by Nvidia, uses the AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution available in the game.
This multi-sporting game has been a stellar experience for gamers to enjoy while being active at home. It is best played in a spacious environment to replicate renowned experiences with multiple modes available. Since its arrival two years ago, the game has only focused on seven sports. Now, it is adding Basketball as a free-to-download DLC for all to enjoy hooping solo or with other players.
