Nintendo Switch Sport review: The glowing gameplay feel caused by online battles and physical activity elements | Gadget Tsushin GetNews

Thanks to the advancement of remote work, the number of exercises has decreased recently. I feel like I’m fat and I’m getting fat.

Maybe there’s a Ring Fit Adventure on the Nintendo Switch for folks like me. However, maybe because I bought it a long time ago, I got tired of it lately and haven’t played much. It’s not as good as it is… I think so, but there’s no chance.

The savior-like game that appeared in such a situation is the Nintendo Switch Sport! I bought it so I can’t miss the perfect opportunity to resume my workout, so I’d like to send you a review of this working, not just running it.

Enjoy the fun of moving your body in 6 sports

“Nintendo Switch Sport” is an unofficial sports game that includes 6 sports. The third Nintendo sports series that begins with “Wii Sports”. The sports that can be practiced are volleyball, badminton, bowling, soccer, sword fighting and tennis.

The advantage is that you use the Joy-Con and move your body to play. So it’s perfect for people like me who want to get rid of lack of exercise but don’t have much chance of getting out.

By the way, moving your body … does not mean that you need to move the size of “Ring Fit Adventure”. Each of the six sports is laid out in an easy-to-play format.

Is team collaboration important? Volleyball fight in 2vs2

2vs2 volleyball fights like beach volleyball. The basic actions are receiving, tossing and screwing. Receiving and Throwing can be activated by moving the Joy-Con from bottom to top, and Toggles can be activated by moving the Joy-Con from bottom to top, jumping, and then moving from top to bottom.

Another player on your team is in charge of another character, so it’s important to work together as a team. Depending on the situation, the responsible person will change, but if one person is responsible for receiving and elevation, the other person will be responsible for ejaculation.

There are many scenes that require timing, such as tossing according to the member’s reception and jumping and bolting according to the toss. This is perhaps the most suitable event for the six sports.

Simpler!?

Badminton with Joy-Con swing like a racket and fight 1vs1. It’s pretty intuitive to play, so it’s probably simpler than six.

It’s easy to indulge in a fraction, and it’s really hot when the race goes on. Personally, I felt that the joy of victory and the regret of losing were the most intense events.

Compete for first place with 16 opponents! Bowling

Bowling in the form of a competition for results with 16 opponents. After setting the throw position with the Joy-Con stick, throw the ball by shaking the Joy-Con while holding the ZR button. It is possible to attach the ball to add motion when swinging the Joy-Con.

If you defeat all the pins, you get a hit. If you can’t hit with the first throw, you can defeat all the remaining pins with the second throw to make a backup, just like in real bowling. Primarily, bowling is not a sport that involves intense action, so I felt that the feel of playing was the most realistic of the six.

Kick a big ball and aim for the goal! Football

Football has the strongest ranking among the six most realistic sports. First, the ball is in the shape of a giant balloon.

Kick this ball by shaking the Joy-Con. It is possible to change the trajectory of the ball depending on the direction of the swing. You can also move the field freely with the lever.

Although the number of players has been simplified to 4 against 4, it is interesting that you can experience football firmly. It is important to be in a position to predict the movement of the ball and the movement of the opponent rather than just chasing the ball. In addition, the movement of the ball can be precisely manipulated by the Joy-Con swing method, and it is also possible to hit a shot that passes over the opponent’s head.

It is important that the sword fight is paid according to the position of the opponent.

A sword fight is an event in which an attack is hit by a katana and the opponent falls from the field. The operation is to attack by shaking the Joy-Con, and guard by pressing the ZR button.

The important thing in sword fighting is posture. Vertical attacks do not result in horizontal guards, and horizontal attacks do not result in vertical attacks. This is the same in the diagonal direction, attacks that cross the opponent’s katana will be guarded.

Therefore, it is necessary to switch the direction of the katana well and breathe for protection and driving. It looks like a normal sword fighting game, and when you play it, you can enjoy the thrill of a serious game.

Play 2vs2 Doubles! Tennis

Tennis features multiples of 2vs2. Like badminton, shaking the Joy-Con is essential to move the racket and hit the ball. At this time, both avant-garde and background characters can be turned on.

Will the avant-garde figure respond quickly? Or is it certain that she will respond with a back-protection character? It is an event that requires breaking the opponent’s timing through the correct use of the vanguard and backguard.

The main is the online competition! I glow without thinking about having a partner

The common feature of all the six sports presented so far is that online competition is the basis. Of course, it is possible to play offline like the works in the series, but since it is displayed in the largest size on the menu screen, there is no doubt that this time the main game is online. I think this element of online competition is the biggest attraction of this business.

After all, interpersonal battles are simply hot. Of course, single-player games are fun, but fighting games, FPS, and battle-based games like MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) have a lot more fun compared to single-player games. The joy of winning and the regret of losing are extraordinarily amplified because the other person is not a computer but a living person.

Compared to fighting games, FPS, MOBA and other esports games, this game is very informal. It’s a title that you can play quickly and quickly, like the entertainment you enjoy during breaks.

Therefore, it can be difficult for Gachi players to feel motivated to “get it done”. Sure, this is an informal business, but instead there is an element of “moving the body”.

Moving the body means direct feeling the actions that lead to victory and defeat. So you glow like playing fighting games, FPS, MOBA and other games.

As a result, my right arm is now very sore. You don’t have to shake the Joy-Con to play, but it was so hot that I just rocked it. Since I was able to play crunchy in a shorter time, I was hurt by playing “Another Battle! Another Battle!”.

…… I think I’m stupid. However, to put it in reverse, you can be excited enough to be stupid! This work is such a title.

Plus, I sensed Nintendo’s uniqueness in paying attention to detail when pushing the competition online. For example, you can select up to three events to play. Since this action has different events, it will be a measure to prevent a situation where the number of players is different and it is difficult to match.

Also, depending on the match status, it looks like the opponent might be a non-playable character played by the computer. Some people may get disappointed playing against NPCs, but personally, it’s better to be able to play against NPCs than to wait for a long time for a match. Especially if the title clearly plays out in a short time like this one, I think much more.

Expectations of future delivery! A must buy if you have a Nintendo Switch

This work is scheduled to provide additional content in the future.

Football will be compatible with leg bands this summer. You will be able to move your legs and shoot. The leg strap is a strap to attach the Joy-Con to your feet, and it’s the same strap that comes with the “Ring Fit Adventure”.

Additionally, golf is scheduled to be delivered as a new event this fall. Golf, which seems to require more precise directional control than reflexes, seems to give you a different feel to playing it.

It’s more than enough and hot right now, but I’m glad it’s trying to make it funnier in future deliveries. If you have a Nintendo Switch, it is a must buy.
