Why it matters
The game follows 2022's Nintendo Switch Sports, and its sport-by-sport results suggest Joy-Con 2 motion control is only as good as the mode built around it, with archery reading wind and arrow drop cleanly while golf punishes the swing.
It sets 12 sports on the resort island of Wuhu, among them tennis, bowling, archery, boxing, volleyball, basketball, ping pong, golf, finger sumo, skateboard, marine bike, and propeller plane. Some sports and modes take up to four players. A play-through of all 12 landed best on archery and worst on golf.
The sharpest split in the lineup is between archery and golf. Archery has four difficulty levels, and the arrow drops over distance, so the shot needs a wind and range read before release. Golf picks the club automatically, then asks for a square Joy-Con 2 swing; the reviewer found it the hardest of the twelve. Cosmetics come from points earned in play, and a jump-rope warm-up ends after 50 skips.
