Nintendo Set To Offer Switch Sports and New Mario Kart 8 Content for Free

The gaming industry has seen a massive boom in the past few years. Although the pandemic delayed production on a lot of titles, it also allowed an unprecedented amount of new players to join the fold of gaming owing to the lockdown. But gaming is an expensive hobby to maintain, and this is where Nintendo has got you covered.

Recent announcements mean Switch players can savor many of Nintendo’s yet-to-be-released titles completely free! The list encompasses Nintendo Switch Sports, MLB The Show 22, and more. And YouTube channel SwitchForce recently uploaded a video detailing how and when players could enjoy these titles.

Players can sample their favorite Nintendo games

First up on the list is Nintendo Switch Sports. The successor to Wii sports will allow players to compete in games like tennis, bowling, and chambara. Although its release is still out on the horizon with an April 29 release date, eager players can experience it early.

Switch Sports offers online play to its players, and Nintendo wants players to experience this feature for free ahead of the release. Zach from SwitchForce notes that starting tonight at 8 p.m eastern, registered players can download a client that would allow them to play Nintendo Switch Sports this weekend.
