|---|---|
Table Tennis has similar mechanics to the original Wii Sports Tennis, but in a smaller scale. The Mii character will also automatically move towards the ball, but the player will need to control the direction of the hit.
Is Swordplay in the Game?
One more sport that you will not see in the game upon release is Swordplay. This is because Swordplay has been renamed to Chambara, which is more accurate to its Japanese roots.
Why Weren't They Included?
Possible Free Software Updates or DLC
There is a good chance that more sports will be added to the game after release since golf and basketball were released in free updates later on. However, this does not mean that all added sports would be free since Nintendo could possibly transition to paid DLC content after the announced updates.
Upcoming Free Software Updates
Different Theme from Previous Games
Because Wii Sports Resort is themed around a resort or country club, many of its sports include water and air sports that are commonly played in that setting. Based on clips from the trailers, Nintendo Switch Sports looks to have a more modern city theme, so its sports will likely follow this style.
