i like sportsmates
if the next switch sports game really does come out this summer, or if switch sports gets a switch 2 edition, i honestly hope they don’t give up on the sportsmates. while i love miis, i think the sportsmates better fit the direction nintendo is bringing the sports series in, as they’re cartoony and fit the “light-hearted sports campus” aesthetic. though i do have some gripes, like i think they desperately need more customization options beyond just the unlockable ones, and if they’re going to stick to unlockable cosmetics, then i think that guest characters should at least be able to wear hairstyles and facial features that have been unlocked on the main profile. at the very least, if switch sports 2 returns to miis being the main playable characters, i hope they get an art style update like they did in tomodachi life.
oh also, sportsmates desperately deserve some memorable, strong npcs. i love that they brought back iconic miis with the legend mode update, but i kinda wish that instead of miis, they were sportsmate-recreations of those iconic wii sports characters instead. like imagine matt but as a sportsmate
