NOTES: Staff List: Nintendo Switch Sports (Credits) Research: Nintendo Switch Sports (KRIM) Nintendo Switch Sports is an arcade like sports simulation video game that features several sports like Tennis, Badminton, Soccer, Volleyball, Fencing and Golf. Players utilize the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con in a similar manner to the other Wii Sports games, positioning them in a manner resembling the actual sport. According to Yamashita, project started shortly after the Nintendo Switch system was released. Development lagged with the core team struggling to make the game feel new or different from the original. 90% of the internal production staff, were new to the Wii Sports series. Creating the motion mechanics proved to be very challenging. The team didn't want to reuse Miis, and went through several different character prototypes before settling on the more detailed sportsmates. Netcode uses uses old-style NEX servers, NOT the new NPLN introduced by Nintendo's tech team. Development time for this project was approximately 4 years.
