Nintendo Switch Sports has become a hit with fans old and new, as the game has quickly made its way to the top of the UK sales charts.

In our review of the game, we said: “It’s a strong continuation of a tried and tested formula that will find near-universal appeal with anybody who remembers the glory days of the Nintendo Wii.”

Announced in the latest Nintendo Direct and released in April 2022, the game is selling like hot cakes and could be on track to be one of Nintendo’s best selling Switch games in the near future.

Favourites like bowling and tennis are on display but there are a number of new gaming modes, such as volleyball, badminton and football which make use of the Switch’s joy-con hardware.

Best pre-order deals for ‘Nintendo Switch Sports’

Nintendo Switch Sports is now available on Switch consoles. But players should note that, as motion controls are required to play, it will not be compatible with the Nintendo Switch lite unless separate joy-cons are paired with it.

A digital version of the game game is currently available to pre-order through the Nintendo website (£31.99, Nintendo.co.uk) but if you want to play the game’s “penalty shootout” mode, the game will require a legstrap peripheral which can be purchased with a physical copy of the game (£39.99, Nintendo.co.uk).
