Interesting to see Nintendo leaning into motion controls again with Joy-Con 2—feels like a fresh take on Wii Sports' legacy. The wheelchair basketball concept could be a real game-changer for accessibility in sports titles. Between this and Mario Party Jamboree, 2025 is shaping up to be a solid year for Switch 2. Kinda surprised there's no physical release, though—hope that doesn't become a trend for niche titles.
