Basketball Hits Nintendo Switch Sports This Summer

Nintendo has announced during the June Nintendo Direct stream that basketball will be coming to Nintendo Switch Sports this summer through a free update. The basketball mode will feature motion-controls, allowing players to engage in 2v2 matches via local and online multiplayer. Additionally, players can try to score as many points as possible individually through the Three-Point Challenge. Those seeking more competition can participate in the Five-Streak Battle or Three-Point Contest against three other players.

The new features include a basketball mode with motion-controls, 2v2 local and online matches, a Three-Point Challenge, and competitive modes like the Five-Streak Battle and Three-Point Contest.

Besides the Nintendo Switch Sports update, the Nintendo Direct also announced The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, and the release date for the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. This update continues to enhance the sports simulation experience on the Nintendo Switch, making it more engaging for players of all levels.
