Nintendo Switch Sports hopes to capitalize on Wii Sports' historic success, but will players spend $60 on it in 2022?
For February’s Nintendo Direct, I watched the show while chatting on Discord with Digital Trends’ gaming writers. Of all the new games announced, there was one in particular that elicited gleeful squeals from the crowd: Nintendo Switch Sports.
Skewed statistics Wii Sports is one of the most successful video games of all time, but context is everything. The game came bundled with Nintendo Wii systems at launch and acted as a sort of free tech demo for Nintendo’s odd Wiimotes. It was a simple sports game that let players test out motion controls with intuitive mini-games. Anyone who owned a Wii had a copy of the game , making it a built-in success story.
It’s difficult to tell how many players would have actually bought Wii Sports as a stand-alone release. That’s exactly what we’re going to find out when Nintendo Switch Sports launches on April 29. It won’t be cheap, though. A digital copy will run players $40, while Target has the physical edition for $50.
