Nintendo Switch Sports<\/em> is getting a free update on July 26th that will no doubt cause a rise in living room-related injuries. Soccer, one of the six sports you can play, will be getting increased motion control support allowing you to use your legs to kick your way to victory.<\/p>\n In addition to the soccer update, volleyball will also get some new moves \u2014 slide attack and rocket serve. And for online players, Nintendo is adding a new S and Infinity rank so you can really <\/em>brag about how good you are at badminton.<\/p>\n Of Nintendo Switch Sports<\/em>, players use a combination of Joy-Con and motion controls to play. When bowling, you swing your arm back just as you would at the lanes, and for Chambara \u2014 the sword-fighting mini-game \u2014 you flail your arms about in hopes of striking your opponent. <\/p>\n Soccer was one of the mini-games that didn’t really make good use of the motion controls despite the fact the game came with a Joy-Con leg strap. To play a regular match, players would control their characters via Joy-Cons using a combination of button presses and arms swings \u2014 not terribly intuitive, given nobody uses their hands in real soccer. (Err, unless you’re the goalie, I guess.) The only mode in soccer that used the leg strap was the special shoot-out mode in which you and a friend compete to see who can kick the most goals. <\/p>\n
