There is no denying the fact that since its release last week, Nintendo Switch Sports is the hottest game on the Switch right now. But Nintendo has also figured out a way to keep players involved with the game for a long time to come. Besides the game having great gameplay, Nintendo has added something all gamers love. Unlockables. Players can now unlock all sorts of cosmetics and other items simply by playing the game. Players earn in-game points by playing global online matches and can then cash those points in for all sorts of neat visual upgrades. Players also receive bonuses for acquiring complete sets. This is the perfect addition to a game designed to get players up and off the couch by ensuring that they are going to keep coming back again and again to get the latest items or to complete a set of items. I call this the Pokemon mentality. Because a great many players, myself being among them, have got to “catch ’em all.” When it comes to unlockables. And when you consider that it looks like the items will be rotated with quite a bit of regularity, this feature can continue for as long as Nintendo wants to support it.
