April was relatively quiet on the gaming front after a bustling first quarter for video game releases. There were just a couple of notable AAA releases, so indie games had more time to shine. Although April did not have an Elden Ring-level release, plenty of great games still dropped over the past month.

In particular, five video games and one brand new system stand out when looking back at April 2022 If you’re wondering what new games there are to play in this slower period, check out these titles.

The Nintendo Switch finally got its own Wii Sports successor this month. Nintendo Switch Sports features simplified versions of sports like bowling, soccer, volleyball, badminton, chambara, and tennis that use the Joy-Cons’ motion controls and are fun for the whole family. It features full online support and will be updated in the future with new sports, including golf.

“Nintendo Switch Sports is exactly what it needs to be,” Digital Trends’ Giovanni Colantonio wrote in a three-and-a-half star review for the game. “It’s an intuitive package of Wii-era sports minigames with more precise motion controls and full online integration. Addictive activities like bowling and badminton make it one of the Switch’s best multiplayer party games, though overly complicated minigames like soccer miss the simple appeal of the series.”

Wii Sports is one of the most ubiquitous video games out there, so it’s good to know that Nintendo Switch Sports lives up to the name, even if it doesn’t reinvent the formula. This is not a complex title, but it’s the next great multiplayer party game for Nintendo Switch.
