I don’t know about you, but I’ve been having a hell of a time playing Nintendo Switch Sports with friends and online lately. In his review, Alex describes the game as one of the “most fun games of the year”, and I have to agree. The only thing Switch Sports is lacking is more sports.
In a recent Ask the Developer, Nintendo spoke about the previous character concepts that they looked into before settling on the more stylised Mii characters, as well as exactly why Switch Sports took so long to come to fruition.
When asked about the new characters introduced in Switch Sports, an evolution of the classic Mii, Junji Morii shared “Even before we decided to make a fresh start again, we had proposed different kinds of character illustrations. In the early stage, we proposed round-shaped characters with no arms or legs, similar to the Mii characters in Wii Sports. We also created college student characters that looked like this with a theme of intercollegiate sports.”
