Ok... but did we really need three games where the point is to hit the ball over the net? Hopefully they'll keep expanding the games roster.
Yes! Finally! The fam is going to be excited about this!
Another 20mil seller. Minimum
I wasn't convinced that Switch would reach 150M. But with just the existence of this game, Switch could be the best-selling console in history.
Looking forward to this. I recall them attempting this on Wii U with Wii Sports Club. Anybody try that and can give their impressions of it?
I’m hoping this one will be successful. It seems like the least opportune time for the release of a feature concept game—it’s the mid-late part of the life cycle. Also with the pandemic, when this is a more social game - Switch Fit might have been a better fit. Then again, Nintendo probably knows a lot more than I do about their customers and when to release this game. Either way, for me, this will be one of my most played games of the year and next.
