- Just in time for Switch Sport's 2nd birthday, this is the step by step story of how Nintendo fumbled what could have been the Switch's greatest title. RIP 2022 - 2023
- Hry
Nintendo is losing it's "embracing" identity. Where the wii had comforting menu music and miis, the switch is silent, cold, sterile.
yesss! i saw a video once that compared the eshops of the other consoles compared to the switch. the wii u had music, bright colors, and was embracing, as you said. and then the switch...it's quiet, laggy, consists of only orange and white, and just feels boring. its so sad
Who cares? You buy it to play games, and Switch has more and better games than any previous Nintendo console
you are SOY if you think this matters at all
@@wockio205 we care because we enjoyed it in the past, and its just been getting worse. go away, fanboy.
@@AbeliDaBee I enjoyed it too but its really not a big deal
I like how when Switch Sports was announced on that direct, i was so unbelievebly happy until the characters popped on screen and i processed the idea for longer than a second.
The sportsmates aren't bad, but the whole idea of miis is that they are as simple as possible to make players feel as close to the characters as possible.
This is basically everyone's reaction
People overhate sportsmates. All the costumes and accessories you can put on them is cool, and you can still be your mii anyway.
The problem is the severe lack of contact compared to other games. I still play it to this day because playing online competitively is fun on Golf and Bowling.
Still a very much active community, but it could have been so much more. I thought with updates they would improve the game, but they just gave up on it.
@@nintendowolfyeah but the shit is locked behind fomo if you actually wanna unlock stuff for your character
@@nintendowolf It just seems different, i don't remember having an wii (i think i had one like a bit ago, but don't use it/don't know where it is) so i don't have the feeling of nostalgia of it, but the wii's look more customisable, and are just funnier to look at, i don't want to get humilated by myself of how terrible i play, but if a funny man does it i don't mind that, wii's just seem nicer, the humannesss that they were going for was to high, and naturally the cancelation made it even less customisable, it just does not feel well, they shouldn't change everything, they should do more like disney in that way, or they should completely make new games that feel grand enough, may have sports, but should be far enough away from the wii sports so the image of wii sports isn't going to impact it, or just make wii sports, mii's and everything, and even better, they went with the middle aproach, going for the to close to wii sports, to little, to low amount of everything, and once the servers are down, switch sports is down, wii sports isn't ganne get fully wipped if their servers are ganne get deactivates / are deactivated, they also shouldn't have gone for the scummy mobile game tactic / f2p game tactic, fortnite does it good, as they are f2p, and if your an high enough rank you get rewarded, always new things, events, and everything, this was a p2p game, what shouldn't have paid battlepasses imo, and there are 2 rewards max per week, like said, if it was 1 reward per x level for the people just having the game, and 1 reward per 1 level for the ones with online as well, i would think it would still be even more active then now, they just chose the wrong choices in manyt departments, if you disagree, i would like to know at what point it is, and your explanation for disagreeing, to know if i would change my statement, thank you for reading my small rant, and hope you have an great day
This game is actually $60, not 40. You have to pay 40 for the game, and then pay 20 dollars for the Nintendo online just so you can play the game
Bruh
The game is 40 dollars.
you act like the ONLY fun of this game is online. you should play soccer with friends (and the pen mode if you have the leg strap). its pretty fun even with CPUs. also tennis powerhouse with friends is hard!
@@DannyMeasho999 I don’t really gaf about the game as a whole
@@RonRon0110 ok
They focused so much on online play that they forgot about the sports themselves, the other modes for the sports and the cpus that made the sports more lively. It’s honestly a shame
And Nintendo's online friggin' sucks at the best of times, so all those compromises were for nothing. 😡
And Nintendo's online friggin' sucks at the best of times, so all those compromises were for nothing. 😡
@@dpv007um, i play this game very often n have no issues online, what are you talking about?
@@ravkhar927 Very true.
They focused so much on online play that they forgot some people (everyone) don’t want to play this game for the online, but for the fun of it, and the online should’ve been the only thing they gave it as dlc, and it should’ve had it by the end of the release month, so it actually got to be a good game with success
It’s actually so frustrating that this game sold over 10 million units. This is the kinda game that ruins Nintendo’s reputation for casual audiences and I hope consumers actually think before buying games in the future. I can only hope Nintendo’s reaction to this isn’t to release more slop.
As much as I hate it too you just know Nintendo doesn't care either way
Yeah, I agee. But I think if it sold bad we would never see a new Wii Sports Title again…? The game is also this bad because they restarted development after a long time and had to get finished. So maybe the next will be better? I hope so.
@@kaiahnung4958 The series definitely deserves another Resort. I do think if anything the player decline will tell Nintendo that something went wrong and I can’t imagine sports will be left to just Mario.
Casuals never cared for little stuff that shouldn’t be a bother. Just take it and play it because in the end of the day it’s all about fun.
consumers don't really care about about whatever nonsense gamers are interested in. they're not gonna be like "ohhh miis are gone this is so heckin soulless!!" they just see a game called switch sports and buy it because it looks fun. in all honesty the "wii" series fell off after wii because, well. there isn't a wii anymore.
"Ah yes, the brutal consequences of optimism" is my new go to line for whenever Nintendo pulls a Nintendo. This game really just feels like a bad dream. It consumed my life for a few months and then I just moved on and have been happier ever since. I truly hope the words "live service" and "Wii Sports" never get near each other again
Definitely the biggest monkey paw ever 😅
You're acting like this game was traumatic for you
@@anonymouslucario285 a bit of a dramatic read, but it stems from realizing Wii Sports as a brand ended with this game. Switch Sports is almost guaranteed to be forgotten, and Miis playing sports is too tainted of a property to ever return. It is truly the end of their era.
I knew Switch Sports was a shell of what Wii Sports was by the lack of the ability of throwing the bowling ball backwards to make the Miis jump.
Switch Sports is like an abusive lover that extorts you into thinking they'll improve, only to consistently remain shitty for your entire duration with them.
Very specific
@@NickMario1But it's true
Replace "switch sports" with "Nintendo" and you've got that right
@@NickMario1yet oddly common
I've noticed it is a habit for nintendo to allude to free updates and then never deliver.
For example: when odyssey came out, everyone thought that their would be a Sunshine DLC because they put it on the loading screen map. There was never a Sunshine DLC.
And even more maliciously: When Mario Maker 2 came out, they'd put the only new level style (3D World) under a seperate category titled "Extra Game Styles" with an empty slot for potential future styles. There was never a new style.
It sucks that very passionate devs of games like Shovel Knight and No Man's Sky, create so much goodwill behind free updates and then Nintendo completely takes advantage of it for profits.
Nothing is really saying that these things weren't planned at the point the games first released, though. Didn't they say that Bowser's Fury was a repurposed Odyssey DLC?
The former was literally just an Easter egg that they had to unfortunately remove when speculation became too rampant.
I agree with your point but these are I think the two worst examples you could have possibly given and betray your skewed sense of optimism
@@paperluigi6132 you right, oddysey was not fantastic evidence.
@@lukea9854 ok maybe the odyssey one was not a great point. But do you think that the MM2 menu reading: "Extra Game Styles" with an "s" was not misleading? considering there was only one new theme added? This was a blatant lie to fans. And I don't care how much I enjoy their games (even MM2) I'm not gonna pretend like that was honest and blame my own optimisim. But what examples would you give since you agree?
The biggest mistake was not including WuHu Island
The play test was completely public yet they tried to make it confidential? Did they expect that to work?
"Unrealistic nostalgic standards" See here's the problem with that sentiment: They already have the Mii assets
Even without Miitopia bumping up the customizability to an absurd degree, the Miis work well enough in general to this day (I wanna shut the Mario Kart Miis up so badly though) that they'd be fine as the main avatars here as well
I don't necessarily mind the sportsmates in isolation, but it feels like a case where the focus of initial development was sorely misplaced and wasted as a result, and that's not even taking into consideration the fact that Badminton almost definitely got in to save dev hours
It's weird how the items are just stock and brandless. Like imagine how cool it would be to unlock a Mario hoodie or a Kirby jumpsuit?
EDIT: I forgot to mention Super Mario Maker 2 did this right with its collectibles, so I'm not sure why this was missed.
Oh man a kirby volleyball would actually be kinda sick
Honestly it would've been so cool if they did brand specific items like the Mario and Sonic games or had an option to purchase certain sets (or missing items) using points collected from playing sports. Honestly those two wou;d've gotten me interested in getting the game over having to play it in a week to get items.

Crossovers are boring and mid
@@internetguy7319nice bait lmao
Switch Sports feels like another of the boneheaded decisions that was primarily made to push their garbage online subscription service with everything else about it being an afterthought.
It honestly feels like almost all of Nintendo’s terrible decisions ever since the Switch launched have been in some way related to Nintendo Switch Online.
Everything from requiring a subscription to play online in the first place to cloud saves being the only way to back up save data to voice chat only being supported via the mobile app to the closure of 3DS/Wii U eShops and Online services which was likely done in favour of making NSO the only official way to play any Nintendo games online or access legacy titles as it meant the only non-subscription alternatives were eliminated.
It is obscene how much better the Switch experience would have been if they like...cut the online access out of the NSO paywall entirely(barely anyone gets NSO for the online, lmao), aswell as having the permanent VC sales alongside it.
It would improve the customer experience 10-fold, deincentivise them to make duds to shill online subs, aswell as get them more money overall. It's legit poor business for everyone including big N, lmao.
3DS and especially WiiU was because numbers had reached the lows that would’ve made further server maintenance not worth it. Why keep the servers up for like the thousands of people still there when the MILLIONS of others have already left? Like it or not, it’s business at the end of the day, and Nintendo knew that it was time to pull the plug.
@@paperluigi6132Luckily we still have pretendo though
NSO IS PERFECT. SWITCH SPORTS IS PERFECT.
@@jaxsterminator8634kindly hold your breath indefinitely
switch sports (miis) look like stretched out animal crossing characters.
Mario Strikers: Battle League is also another title that had a short life and remained an incompleted game
And after a free update with Princess Daisy added to the game it’s not worth it
@@NitwitsWorld The fact that Daisy wasn't even there at launch shows how little they cared. Mario Kart 7 may have been missing Waluigi, another vital Mario character, but at least it was finished.
@@ramenpix yup Nintendo screwed up during the pandemic I know we shouldn’t blame it on them or the pandemic but it was so weird of them to release unfinished games during the events of 2019 to 2022
@@NitwitsWorld It all kinda started with Mario Tennis Aces and was downhill from there, with all of the future Mario Sports games being lackluster. I really hope the next Mario Kart doesn't go down this path.
@@ramenpix I doubt Mario kart is getting that kind of treatment because it’s one of their big mainline IP to take it’s time for, unlike smaller IPs
Me and my bro grew up with a Wii (and thus Wii Sports) so when Switch Sports was announced he was hyped. He got it, played it for 30 minutes, then never touched it again. I think that says a lot when a pretty hype game doesn’t get someone to play it for at least an hour once it launches.
Meanwhile I’d LOVE to go back to sports resort if I had the hardware.
@@xRaiofSunshine you can play it on pc dolphin emulator or even on the most phones these days with dolphin emulator if you have a bad pc or a good phone give it a try
Nice danganronpa pfp
I want a fucking refund I did the same thing (didnt grow up with a wii, had a wii u tho 💀) I played for like 2 days though havent touched the game in multiple months
@@justsplat how was the WiiU?
Literally the only time I've ever felt excited over this game was the Star Fox asset names left over in the files
Wait really? Ok yeah that is the most exciting thing about this game
Oh yeah I forgot about that
honestly the character customization was pretty cute, it just was like............ not at all what anyone asking for a new wii sports wanted in the first place. its like if nintendogs was rebooted to look like littlest pet shop like, i guess thats a cute dog, but its also not what i wanted from this particular product
This made me laugh, yet it's also very true
Honestly it would have been really fun if it was with the original miis as well as if it wasn't locked to online players. I loved being able to customize my miis in Tomadachi life so I can imagine how fun it would be to be able to unlock outfits by playing sports
If you go into the official financial data, Nintendo Switch Sports has sold more than you would expect. It has a really long tail and has sold at a consistent rate for years, seeing an uptick in late 2023 when all the content released for it. It has likely crossed 13 million copies by now.
Would the numbers of the bundle console count to tho?
I technically have 2 copies as I pre ordered it but recently got a console bundle that Switch Sports came free with for €299.99
@@themaskedwander It would mainly be physical copies because of the leg strap.
@theotherjared9824 never thought the leg strap made much of a difference since it's only for the one sub sport
@@theotherjared9824 the bundle includes the strap with it
And it has officially crossed 13M as of March. By now, there are officially more people that own Switch Sports than there are people that own a WiiU.
The Mii2.0s will never not be funny in a cursed way. I can remember when people in the german community made fun of them for having "zoomer haircuts". (They only stopped because the game lost all relevance after 2 months.)
People give games like hey pikmin and federation force a lot of shit which is funny because they’re not even bad games. Games like Mario strikers battle league and Nintendo switch sports deserve the hate way more
As someone who's played through the entirety of Hey!, this is very true
Hey wasn't... great imo, but I definitely have more positives to say compared to Battle League and Sports
Hey Pikmin and Federation Force are fine enough games that came out at a bad time. They at least had some charm in them. Switch Sports and Battle League just proves that Nintendo pretty much stopped caring about their quality and people will still buy their games anyway.
Metroid Federation Force is legit a clunky awkward mess that treats Samus like a useless sack of potatos lmao
@@GribbleGob i’ve played Federation force and that is not true at all💀
@@barelyhere7200 you have shit taste then lol
A simple Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort bundle would've sold more than this.
13 million sold says otherwise. And remember most Wii Sports sales come from the fact that it came bundled with the Wii.
@@paperluigi6132It really does not. There is absolutely negative shot that the game sold those 13 milion on its own merits. It got 100% boosted by technically being part of the Wii Sports-series.(and the fact that there was a boundle, which had its own Wii Sports-effect on the gamesales)
@@paperluigi6132that’s because casuals just buy everything that has the switch logo on it, not because the game is good
Knew the game was gonna flop when one of the dev interviews had one of the devs state that they couldn't recapture the charm of the original games
I actually hate the switch era man
That is an insane thing for a dev to public admit 💀, not even Batman would’ve gotten that outta me
How much do you hate it? I wanna hear it all lol
@@NickMario1 nick i can see u own switch sports how do u like it!
I'd say that the Switch era overall has been pretty good, but a lot of the smaller projects like this have been disappointing. Still, things like Odyssey, BotW, TotK, and Smash Ultimate have been absolutely incredible. These last few years have definitely suffered a bit, though
@@Cute___Ethe gamecube era was better though as it was more riveting
The soundtrack to Switch Sports makes you feel like you're in purgatory
How?
@@juliannocartagena2007 Listen to it for an hour while nothing happens in the bowling game
“Soccer is just running towards the ball the whole time”
That’s basically every sport
2 comments is crazy you really got his dick in your mouth
I was excited for Switch Sports until I realized that Ring Fit exists and is a game that quite literally takes advantage of all aspects of the joycon in a way that 1-2 Switch and Switch Sports just couldn't.
Most people believe that switch sports killed the Wii Sports series but if you were there back in 2013. Wii Sports Club killed the series and switch sports made it more apparent that it’s even more dead.
I agree with this take.
@@derpoltergeist8265thanks!
We don't talk about Wii Sports Club
Thumbnail image has two right hands. Perfect.
If the next console doesn’t include Miis and amiibo functionality, I’m gonna be sad 😭
I just miss when Nintendo had soul.
Even if it does they probably won’t use them much still
Honestly, Go Vacation being re-released on the Switch had me way more excited than Switch Sports ever did.
I knew immediately by that launch showcase if it would appeal to me or not. And I causelessly decided to just wait, and see how well the game does in a year and, how much gets added.
I got my answer very fast. Glad I never jumped in.
LMAO SAME
That blue ball line went egregiously hard
“Like having jail time on your resume” I am stealing that
i love switch sports slander, also i love going savage each time Nintendo tries to ripoff the success of Splatoon
Splatoon is also finished now. There's no more Splatoon games planned in the future. The devs are done. We weren't even supposed to get a third game, but the devs worked really hard and it paid off. I hope they're doing okay.
@@HauntakuTV the fact that splatoon games get expansion dlcs, story modes, and crossovers really shows the actual soul splatoon got. if more games were like splatoon, i wouldn't be savage. but it's like Nintendo thinks being Splatoon means to just update the game with new content to play around with.
i mean it is. but also so much more added to the surface.
@@HauntakuTV There is no way Nintendo's just gonna let the Splatoon series end
@@HauntakuTV??? Source?
Agreed. Splatoon works because it’s a multiplayer shooter game, and most of the fun parts come from the online, so it makes sense to give that game free updates.
But sports games? REALLY!?
They could've just ported wii sports and it would've been more successful
Why did they chose to go from like 12 sports to six
Not to mention the 12 sports they have 2 to 3 different mode each, Switch sports has only one each.
Not only that, but Golf, a sport that was there since the original Wii Sports, TOOK A LONG TIME TO BE PUT ON THE SWITCH ONE

@@RayoMcQueen95990 no boxing :(
It’s sad because I think the game could’ve easily been great. 2 things brought it down - a lack of games (considering Resort and having to wait for an extra one to be added) and perhaps the even bigger problem, it got caught in the crazy for online multiplayer battle royales when Wii Sports is best when you’re in the same room
When I think about it, Wii Sports is probably the best launch title for a video game console ever made. Not only does it show what the Wii is capable of, but people (especially families) still play it to this day.
Harvest moon magical melody music in the background…excellent choice
This game had so much promise. So sad to see how much it disappointed me when I got my hands on it
When I bought my Switch for Christmas 2022 I considered buying the game because of my love for Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort but I went with Zelda and Pokemon instead
best decision of my life
Thanks for making a video covering this, because this is my most hated game of all time, and I loathe it with a burning passion.
I forgot Metroid prime 4 got announced. I feel like that's going to be the swan song of the console like Breath of the Wild for Wii U
Remember Nintendo’s Switch Sports Playtest Policy? Now we know.
Games like Nintendo Switch Sports are just reminders that Nintendo isn't the same as it used to be. That inner child is dead.
Unrelated but do you like sonic more then mario?
This is how I feel with Xbox as well with games like Redfall. It is hard to decide what is worse though.
Good vid dude :) the “out of the park” bit during the golf stall and the godot theme with the voice trailing out were two masterclass editing techniques, well done. I like ur craft, u have a new sub :D
When I heard Switch Sports was coming, I was worried. Then watched Smii7y (was the first video I saw after release) play it and was not happy with the direction. Borrowed a copy from a family member who owns the game and gave it a spin. Made someone rage quit in tennis which was funny, but it didn't feel the same. Went as far as to getting my Wii out and getting Wii Sports Resort to relive the memories. Even as far as to getting more controllers so my younger siblings can experience the "Golden Age" as I consider it. The confliction was something to see. Both have a Switch (yet never play it) and in the matter of moments, they couldn't decide on whether Switch Sports or Wii Sports Resort was better. The simplicity was just better. Plus the modes...That moment you load up 100 pin bowling and see them all standing there for the first time. Or flying around the island. Or Wii Sports with Baseball or training. There was so much more choice!
21:36 something New Horizons didn’t have besides the Mario anniversary
I forgot about this game until I saw this vid in my feed
I was in such denial when I got this game. I thought I had to unlock all the other games (which actually would have been fun) but then after an hour or so I was just like, “This is it…. isn’t it.”
THAT ONESHOT FRAME YOURE MY FAV YT CHANNEL OF ALL TIMES greetins from spain thanks for ur content
all I want is an expanded wii sports golf or a solid mario golf. switch mario golf broke my heart
All they had to do was port wii sports resort and original to the switch 💀
THANK YOU for talking about this, i wanted wii sports on switch so bad and to then see this game drop was the biggest slap to the face ever
This game is proof that the argument of "Nintendo makes good games" (that you hear everytime someone dares to criticize the billion-dollar company no less) is highly debatable, at best
Battle League, Post 3Ds Pokémon, and the other "finish it later" sports titles as well. I love Nintendo and they are still my go-to developer, but I have standards.
@@Daralexen A lot of people try to shirk responsibility from Nintendo away by saying it was other companies who did those games, GF, Camelot, etc. It's a very common defense. But Switch Sports is ALL Nintendo. And it's still complete ass.
Even if the game has its problems, this is the one game I have consistently on rotation when the boys get together, the perfect casual couch drinking game. Been playing on and off since it’s come out till today. Had the boys over and played golf for 7 hours straight once, some of my favourite video game moments…
How could you play golf for 7 hours straight lol
@@NickMario1 A mix of alcohol and a share incompetence at the game leading to 18 hole game taking 10 times longer than it should, and we played a few 18 hole games...
Damn I had no idea about the little cheat that allows you to face the OGs
How did they not add basketball? That was a top tier sport in resort
This video made me realize how much Nintendo and gaming as a whole has changed since my childhood. Imagine if there was something like the mii channel today where every single customization was already there. for free. Not only that, but each wii came with a free copy of an iconic game that, again, requires absolutely no DLC and is completely finished. something that like is unthinkable today.
I love how everyone had the same reaction (including myself) to seeing the newer characters
I took my switch on vacation a few months ago. Me and my cousin decided to try to play switch sports together. To our horror, we realized you can’t play 2 player without the switch docked. Like WHY NINTENDO? YOU CAN ON 1 2 SWITCH! WHY NOT ON THIS GAME???
I haven’t gone back to the game since
I was really looking forwards to getting a sports game on the Switch, but when I saw they only had six sports, I was incredibly disappointed. What made the Wii sports and Wii sports resort so fun was that they had such a multitude of sports, with tons of hidden minigames. The fact there were so many options is what made the games so good, since if you got bored of one, you could just pick another sport or minigame, and you could continue having fun for hours. I also llved that WSR had a well executed theme of a holiday resort at a volcanic island, and so many of the sports had you seeing the island and exploring different areas of it.
The fact they got rid of this concept and made the sports entirely disconnected again made it all look so boring.
In the end, I am really glad I didn't get this game.
An easy fix would be to give everyone access to the in-game cosmetic items intead of making it a stupid battlepass thing
Honestly, if they had ported Wii Sports Resort to the Switch completely unmodified (even without new textures), it would have been *way* better than Switch Sports - Wii Sports Resort had 12 sports, twice that of Switch Sports, including many people loved from the original Wii Sports, like Bowling. Even if some like Soccer or Tennis (the former not existing before Switch Sports and the latter being replaced by Table Tennis) were missing, it still would have been a great way to bring this incredibly underrated game into the public eye once again.
I had enough pattern recognition skills to be wary of new Nintendo products over a decade ago. It's nice that others are finally catching on to how little Nintendo actually cares about them, but man, it sure showed how few people have basic pattern recognition.
Whenever i see a picture of switch sports i think of SpongeBob steel sting sound
It came out right on my birthday but i didnt buy it

The reel of people's reactions to the characters being shown off is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
I did not know about the NSO only battle pass. Or that it only got as far as one year after choosing to be live service.
Now I see why it felt like this game came and went like THAT.
I will say one thing. The Switch Sports avatars look like an extention of the Animal Crossing art style, and I like them for that reason.
And there we go that was the one good thing I had to say about any of it
this is unrelated to the actual game being discussed but I felt like an insane person being able to recognize every single Megami Tensei track that played throughout the video 💀
Holy shit that montage of people reacting to the miis was the best part of this video
Honestly I had fun with my grandpa with this game and thats really all that mattered to me
26:36 This parallels so many game cycles. Currently Multiversus is experiencing it
they could've done so much with the city setting, man. especially with how willing they are in this to make games like soccer where you have more traditional joystick controls mixed in. they could've brought back basketball, done skateboarding with motion control air tricks or balancing, done parkour where you have to make climbing motions and are going for a fast time, anything like that!
PERSONA 2 BGM IS SOOOOOO BASED. good video!
I just clicked the video to check if miyamoto has 2 right hands
That's cool and all, but a person that has Godot's song as an outro to a long video + Classic persona music in the bwckground deserves a sub. Good vid
5:43 the song is from My Pokémon Ranch if anyone was wondering
Ayo do you know what's the song at 16:29?
Thank you for explaining the importance of the miis!! They're not just avatars, they're apart of Nintendo's brand and literally iconic! We always laughed about how they turned the avatars into a franchise with miitopia and whatnot but I genuinely adored that shit!
This video went on FOREVER
I feel like the 3ds/Wii U was the last era they ever had where they tried to implement some level of personality/connection to the user withij the console. There's customization on the Switch, no music, no fun gimmicks or hidden tricks, nothing fun about it other than the fact that it can play the next generation of games. If the 3ds was capable of handling the graphic requirements of the Switch, I'd still take it over the Switch any other day.
Too bad, many fans on the internet trash 3ds Mario by calling it bland era, and 3ds Pokémon becoming the beginning of it’s downfall and smash 4, honestly why is smash 4 getting so much hate. And these games aren’t even bad, they just get hate for lame reasons
That random jingle at 7:12... getting slapped with nostalgia from SNES Goof Troop... Holy crap
The fact that the Wii's pack-in game from 2006 launched with more content than the Switch's "successor" from 2022 is depressing
The controller for the wii will always be better than the joycons in my eyes. The joycon motion controls have better aspects, but the wii controller gave consistency. I’ve had the same controller for a decade and it still works not too mention I can actually stand far away from my wii bar and the remote still register like bruh
I only really ever played Tennis and Bowling on this game and the fact that Online bowling doesn't let you choose if you want normal or obstacle bowling (which I hate) was enough for me to give up. No Baseball or Boxing on a console with motion controls, criminal. This video did give me a new perspective, I had never thought how useless the game is in offline mode, I always played online and never gave it a second thought.
When you think about. This game was the “mega mind vs the doom syndicate “ of Nintendo’s catalog. We’re booth were things people were asking for but when they were revealed they were the exact opposite of what people wanted from them existing, and the internet tore them to shreds.
Hey at least some people LIKED Switch Sports. I have never seen a SINGLE positive thing about that Megamind "sequel".
3:34 is by far the best realistic reaction to the trailer
November is the winter as well as mid October
I'm in Alaska........
I never had a probably with the new avatar designs… because I completely ignored them in favor of using the Mii option
I loved saving my Mii to the Wii Remote and taking him with me
Gotta love the use of my pokemon ranch music 😀
I think maybe the worst issue is the fact that it calls itself a new edition to the wii sports series and then practically has absolutely nothing in common with it.
You're very funny, great writing and timing btw
I NEED to know how you write scripts for your videos. like some of these jokes are so witty 😭
I do not have any hesitation or exaggeration in my mind to honestly say Nintendo Switch Sports is the worst Nintendo game ever made. Sure, the game looks great, the character designs and artstyle looks nice, everything plays well, there’s no major bugs or glitches and the gameplay is solid overall. But, when it comes to how much it left an impact, the game is for sure, one of Nintendo’s laziest, most soulless, factory produced, corporate waste they ever put out. Everything about it screams lack of effort or care to put the slightest bit of actual love in it. It’s a little insulting that they market this junk as the sequel to Wii Sports Resort when that game was peak charm and fun game design, made 12 years before.
Super emotional and exaggerated opinion lmao it’s a fun sports game. It wasn’t trying to save your marriage or stop climate change.
There are far worse games out there lol, like I don’t like switch sports either but saying all of that is kinda reminding me of the old demeech thumbnail
While I don't agree that Nintendo Switch Sports is the worst Nintendo game ever made, because there are FAR worse Nintendo games out there (like Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Paper Mario: Color Splash, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Chibi-Robo: Zip-Lash), I still agree that it is just not a good game.
@@Loner098 Paper Mario Color Splash is pretty good and at least Zip Lash and Amiibo Festival are fun to make fun of how terrible they are.
@@NickMario1I respect your opinion but I don’t wanna be reminded of that Demeech video.
Ring Fit Adventure, knockout home fitness and Boxing Fitness Fist of the north star are the best experiences I ever had with motion control
7:13 GOOF TROOP MUSIC! Excellent taste, hahaha!
I legit forgot Metroid prime 4 was a thing. I’d been hyped up every direct to see if we’d hear something about it but still nothing.
If there's anything positive about this, is that maybe this was Nintendo experimenting on the live-service mode, and them abandoning it so quickly means that they don't mean to return to it anytime soon.
It's what I choose to believe anyway, I despise live-service games
As soon as I say those new miis I just passed on the game
