Nintendo has revealed that Nintendo Switch Sports is getting a basketball update on Tuesday, June 9. While the free update was announced last month, a release date wasn’t mentioned until now.
The basketball minigame is straightforward, where players can use motion controls to score as many baskets as they can in the three-point challenge. Four players can also compete against each other in a five-streak battle or three-point-contest, as well as play two-on-two matches.
Nintendo Switch Sports included six sports at launch, which were volleyball, badminton, bowling, soccer, chambara, and tennis. After launch, Nintendo added full soccer motion controls as well as golf. Now, more than two years since its release, it’s finally getting basketball.
