Nintendo Switch Sports is getting a Santa suit in time for the holidays. In Nintendo Switch Sports, players may dress up their avatars like Santa and give some Christmas cheer.
Nintendo Switch Sports, like its predecessor Wii Sports, is a collection of sports mini-games. In a number of sports, including soccer, volleyball, tennis, and bowling, users may compete against the AI or other players. Nintendo Switch Sports players may utilise Miis as their characters as a throwback to Wii Sports, but the game also includes more complex avatars dubbed Sportsmates. Sportsmans feature more comprehensive hair and facial modification choices, as well as arms and legs, which Mii avatars did not have. These modifications have increased the number of aesthetic options available to players when customising their avatars, and Nintendo has made certain that gamers have lots of alternatives.
Nintendo Switch Sports has unveiled a Santa suit for gamers to dress up their Sportsmates in to celebrate Christmas. To get the entire Santa costume, players must first complete the Santa Collection. They may achieve this by participating in random matchmaking online matches, which will earn them points that they can use to purchase goods from the Santa Collection. Once players have unlocked all of the Nintendo Switch Sports cosmetics in the Santa Collection, they will be able to play sports in full Christmas regalia. Anyone who has fallen behind or recently learned about the outfit will be able to claim it until January 4, 2023.
Santa arrived a little early in Spocco Square!

Players will undoubtedly want to celebrate the Christmas season with their avatars, so Nintendo Switch Sports’ addition of these cosmetics is a lovely touch. It’s also nice to see incentives that can be earned through playing the game rather than being purchased with real-world money. Nintendo has also made the procedure quite simple since participants will still collect points regardless of how well they do in the contests. Although the ranked online play is available in Nintendo Switch Sports, it is not required to gain cosmetic points.
Naturally, not everyone will be motivated to work hard to earn the points required to unlock the whole Santa Collection. With that in mind, and in the spirit of the holiday season, it could have been wiser to give away the Santa suit or other holiday-themed cosmetics for free. However, Nintendo Switch Sports is still receiving updates, so there are plenty of sports games for players to enjoy and earn points in, with more likely on the way.
