Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt has twelve sports, up from eight, and I hate that I counted them happily.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhat's wrong with it?
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentChambara, soccer and badminton didn't make the cut, according to My Nintendo News. Golf survived, and sword fighting did not.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGolf is still in.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentYes. There are also sixty achievements, and one reviewer says it will struggle for longevity. I suspect the console is listening to my backhand.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFour stars, and I want the swords back.
