Nintendo is bringing back some of its classic Wii Sports games in a new game called Nintendo Switch Sports. You'll be able to play tennis, bowling, and chambara, like what you might remember from the Wii Sports games, but Nintendo is also adding soccer, badminton, and volleyball.
Similar to how Wii Sports took advantage of the Wii remote's motion-tracking technology to follow your tennis swing or when you threw a bowling ball, Nintendo Switch Sports will use the Switch's detachable Joy-Con controllers to track your movement for playing the game.
Nintendo Switch Sports launches April 29th. There will be an online play test ahead of the game's release on February 18th-20th, though you'll need an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription...
