BestSports Games for Nintendo SwitchiMore2020
With its HD Rumble, Joy-Con controls, and focus on couch co-op or competition, the Nintendo Switch is a perfect fit for sports games. And though it didn't boast many at launch, slowly but surely the system has acquired some excellent sports titles both from major franchises and indie developers. These are the best sports titles you can find for your Nintendo Switch.
★ Featured favorite: Mario Tennis Aces
Mario Tennis Aces brings the Mario Tennis series back with an impressive serve after the lackluster Wii U entry. A laidback single-player mode will get you into the game and accustomed to its controls, but the meat of Mario Tennis Aces is in its online multiplayer.

FIFA 18 helped pioneer major, realistic sports gaming in its return to Nintendo consoles, proving the Switch could handle the detailed graphics and complex matches. The latest version of FIFA for 2020 includes the latest kits, clubs, and squads from some of the world's top leagues. There is also an enormous roster of popular players making appearances across numerous teams, and of course, Ultimate Team mode.

- UFC Personal Trainer: The Ultimate Fitness System. Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2011. Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters.
Golf Story swung seemingly out of nowhere to find a home among the other indie successes on Switch. Especially given that the system so far lacks a strong Mario Golf title, Golf Story fills that gap and more with its decent-sized story and meaty replayability. Just be warned: this one has a classic 2D 8-bit art style, which might not be for you.

NBA 2K20 is the best basketball game you're going to find.

The Neighborhoods mode offers a somewhat open world where players can meet others playing at the same time and play pick-up games.

This boxing game isn't competitive in nature, but it does use the Nintendo Switch's motion controls for one massive benefit. That benefit is to get you moving, as Fitness Boxing is all about giving you a fun cardio workout. The best thing about Fitness Boxing is that you don't need other controller peripherals, just the Joy-Cons that came with your Switch. Easy peasy! Now get movin'!

While we may not all be athletic, sports is something that everyone can enjoy, whether it's actually actively participating in them or spectating. But sports themed video games let us play whenever we want, and have fun doing it. The Switch didn't start out with a lot of sports titles in its library, but it's steadily growing over time.
We like all of these sports games, but which one should you get? Well, naturally, it depends on which sports you like, but if you want something that many different people can pick up and learn quickly, Mario Tennis Aces is it. It's not only tremendously fun, but also lets up to four people play at a time. Be sure to grab it with the tennis racket accessory for your Nintendo Switch if you really want to turn it up a notch.
And if you want to actually burn some calories while you're playing video games, then make sure to get Ring Fit Adventure. It has a ton of different exercises to do, and believe me, you do work up a sweat playing, so it does work and costs less than a year of a gym membership!
