The game is available in (and has localized titles in) all 12 Nintendo Switch system languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.
Controllers[]
The game requires a Joy-Con L and Joy-Con R pair, and will not progress to the main menu without a Joy-Con pair. It does not support Pro Controller, the Nintendo Switch Lite's built-in controls, nor any touchscreen functionality. Additionally, the game does not allow Joy-Cons to be clicked onto the Nintendo Switch, preventing players from charging one Joy-Con while using the other for single-Joy-Con sports.[note 1]
The physical version includes the Leg Strap, whereas the Nintendo eShop version does not.
Although the game frequently tells players to use Joy-Con Straps, it is unable to detect if any straps have actually been clicked onto the Joy-Cons.
Modes[]
The game has 4 modes on its main menu:
- Play Globally (Online matches), including its subcategory Two Players.
- Play Locally.
- Play with Friends, including its alternate mode LAN Play that can be shown by pressing L + R + L-stick press.
