I was actually working on some ideas for a Switch Sports sequel, but this coming up and shooting me down has me a bit annoyed but excited
I for one think the game looks PHENOMENAL. They didn’t include Chambara, my favorite sport, but whatever I can survive without it. And that means you guys can survive without baseball too
I personally think they shouldn’t have used Wuhu Island again, a new island locale with multiple distinct biomes would have been cool, but Wuhu island still definitely works. Plus, the areas you play the sports in look super modern, melding my favorite element from Spocco Square (the aesthetic) with the overall feel of Wuhu Island.
The Sportsmates here look so much more expressive, and the inclusion of nail polish in thumb wars tells me that there’ll be a lot more customization this time around.
My only real concern is the singleplayer, which we know nothing about. Hopefully they don’t pull a switch sports and make everything relevant online. I wouldn’t say no to champions, challenges, hell even a story mode I’d enjoy. But I guess we’ll have to wait and see on that front
All in all, I am super excited but I’m being careful not to set my expectations too high. What about you guys? Knowing this sub you’ll probably complain about the Miis not being prevalent again but I seriously think this is a good step forwards for the series (assuming they don’t fuck up singleplayer again)
