Released last April Nintendo Switch Sports has brought up to date the motion gaming that we had sworn no longer wanted to approach after the Nintendo Wii era. Despite the reluctance, the game was received rather favorably, despite a rather poor content at launch. Six sports at launch, with fairly limited gameplay, we expected better from Nintendo. That’s good, we have just learned of the arrival of a summer update, effective from July 27th and which will allow you to take advantage of new functionalities, in particular for the disciplines of football, volleyball and online games. No new activities suddenly, but the possibility of playing with the leg strap. It sounds surreal said like that, but until now, it was impossible to play the game with a Joy-Con attached to its leg, while the accessory is supplied with the physical version. As a result, thanks to the strap, the hands will be completely free and it will be possible to mimic the real gestures of volleyball and football. But that’s not all, Nintendo informs us that new movements called “Feint” and “Cannon service” will be added to the discipline of volleyball, while we can find the new rank S and “∞” which will come enhancing the Pro league… Nintendo also points out that thanks to the new Hall IDs, joining online friends from Nintendo Switch Sports has never been easier.
