Then the actual follow-up, Wii Sports Resort, pulled a classic Nintendo move and required a stupid, expensive accessory to play.
That meant the pressure was on when I went for a hands-on session with Nintendo Switch Sports, the new Joy-Con waggling revival.
When Nintendo gets these sort of lifestyle ‘event’ games right, they’re always a slam dunk – and while it’s not reinventing the wheel, Nintendo Switch Sports is pretty much exactly what I wanted.
That killed that game for me; Wii Sports was best multiplayer, and there was no way I was buying four of those things.
