The singular and plural for Joy-Con are identical. It's just Joy-Con.


It is a sequel to both ''VideoGame/WiiSports'' and ''VideoGame/WiiSportsResort'', featuring many of the same minigames those games had, and much like those games, it uses the motion controls of the controller (in this case, the Joy-cons) to play various sports.

Some of these were transplanted from the Wii Sports page (Why were they there to begin with?)

Added DiffLines:

* AerithAndBob: As with the other sports games in the ''Wii'' lineup, CPU players have regular English names, such as Barbara, Gwen, Martin, Gabriel, alongside Japanese names like Miyu, Yoshi, and Shinnosuke. Given Nintendo is a Japanese company, it makes sense, and it helps provide some multinational representation.
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: You can earn points by playing matches on the global online mode (if you don't have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, you can play against bots instead for a smaller selection and awarded amount of items each week). When you reach 100 points, you'll be able to obtain a randomized piece of clothing from one set of rewards of your choice.
* DemotedToExtra: Miis are no longer the only characters you use in this game, the game also has customisable avatars, akin to the ones on the ''UsefulNotes/Xbox360'' There's an option to still play as one, but none of them ever appear as background characters.
* EasterEgg: Soccer has one. If you perform the motion for a Diving Header after you've scored a goal, you'll execute a celebratory soccer-player knee slide instead of a dive.
* FacePlant: The Soccer moveset includes a diving header to launch the ball further. Performing the move without the ball in front of you results in a face-flop onto the ground, which stops you from moving for a second in play or just lets you look really silly during the "vs." preview screen where players can perform moves while seeing the teams.
* FloatingLimbs: Averted, unlike ''Wii Sports''.Everyone has arms and legs to bowl and play Soccer with.
* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: Nintendo Switch Sports has new, more detailed, yet still cartoony avatars known as Sportsmates. You're still be able to play as Miis if you wish, but it only replaces the head. The FloatingLimbs that characterised the Mii's are also absent.
* NewSeasonNewName: Since the Nintendo Switch is unrelated to the Wii in any way, this game is called "Nintendo Switch Sports", the console's equivalent. It's still outright stated to be a continuation of the ''Wii Sports'' series.
* PlayEveryDay: Nintendo Switch Sports uses online play as a way for the player to accumulate a meter of 100 points that adds up to a random reward from a few different collections of player cosmetics each time. The collections are offered for limited times before rotating out, encouraging a player to work hard and play often to complete them while they're offered, and to play frequently to check on new rewards being offered—as a tip screen says, you'll miss out on things if you only play during the weekend.
