Gameplay
Nintendo Switch Sports consists of three different multiplayer modes: Play Globally, Play Locally, and Play with Friends. In each mode, players can chose one of 6 sports to play: Volleyball, Badminton, Bowling, Soccer, Chambara, Tennis. Golf is planned to be added in a future update.[3] There is also an option to randomly select sports to play. All sports use the Joycon's motion controls. The player uses the controllers to perform actions similar to the real-life counterparts of these sports, such has using the remote as a tennis racket or a sword. When playing a sport for the first time, the player will be up against CPUs instead of real players, even if they're online.
This is the first game in the Wii Sports series where characters other than Miis are playable. They are called Sportsmates and are the default characters in the game that make up the NPCs in the backgrounds of each locations. Miis are only used as optional, playable characters.
Play Globally allows players to earn points that can be used to exchange for items. Every 100 points allows players to draw for a randomly selected item in a limited-time collection they chose.
