Nintendo Switch Sports on Switch Lite How to play limitations and more

The iconic sports game is back in town (Images via Nintendo) Nintendo's latest game is the newest installment in the Sports series. It first began on the Wii with the iconic Wii Sports. Sports (NSS) is a fun way for players to engage in casual yet competitive fun with friends, family, and other gamers.
