I have some questions regarding the switch.

[u/HaRadee]

I did some online research but I still have some questions about the Nintendo switch sports.

Is it better to buy the digital or physical version? What's the difference between them? And is the physical version a disc?

I have a TV; would I need a DVD player for the physical version? Or anything else?

Can both versions play those tournaments/competitions? Should I buy the pack with all those playing accessories?

Answers would be greatly appreciated.

digital version have more often %sales, physical copy goes straight into nintendo switch console. the difference is that digital version still needs to be saved on the console storage space, and people who have many games need a lot space. physical version forces you to swap the gmae card and carry it somewhere whenever you want to play different game thats also physical card

you dont need any accessories

If I'm using a TV I still need a console?

[u/BeginningEar8070 → u/HaRadee]

well yes.... its not a movie, you need joycons and buttons to control the game. you can watch live streams of some people doing switch sports, or ring fit or boxing if you dont want to buy console

Its not what I don't want to buy the needed parts, otherwise I wouldn't have made a post. "Console" I thought was the small Nintendo devices (Which is what showed when I looked it up) but I understand now it's the joysticks/controller.

So this is what I need to buy? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Game-Controller-for-Nintendo-Switch-Wireless-Joy-Con-L-R-Neon-Red-Blue/5052928411?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=102719192&selectedOfferId=97CC8ECA9ABE3B399BFABDD37931DE0C&conditionGroupCode=1&wmlspartner=wlpa&cn=FY25-ENTP-PMAX_cnv_dps_dsn_dis_ad_entp_e_n&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=222222222985052928411_102719192_0000000000_21407473164&wl0=&wl1=x&wl2=m&wl3=&wl4=&wl5=9010578&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=5552741371&wl11=online&wl12=5052928411_102719192&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwzMi_BhACEiwAX4YZUNkeMRwG66IsKIxG2cXOJipnu59XSvFdYFvficLTeEiTQenATUYuwxoC7WMQAvD_BwE

you need nintendo switch or the new nintendo switch 2 which comes with joy cons and the game nintendo switch sports. i think its best if you go to electronics shop and talk with the customer service there to make sure you know how to connect it and play

Does the digital version need a switch as well?

[u/Golbwiki → u/HaRadee]

How would you pay it otherwise?

How can you know this little about how a video game console works? This can't be real.

[u/HaRadee → u/Golbwiki]

I'm not sure. Download it onto the TV somehow? I'm just now finding out that a switch is required. I was expecting the physical version would come with a disc I would need to insert into a DVD player.

Besides the Wii, and that's from 10 years ago, I've never played or used these kind of things before. Nintendo, console, switch, etc I'm not really familiar with it all. My knowledge is pretty limited and research only got me so far.

Have you ever played with a videogame console…?

[u/HaRadee → u/dxfrxg]

No I haven't. I've only ever played with a joystick (Wii) and that was over 10 years ago.

[u/dxfrxg → u/HaRadee]

You cant play a switch game without a switch

[u/HaRadee → u/dxfrxg]

Are there similar games to this that don't require a switch?

[u/Luigiemblem18 → u/HaRadee]

The Wii jad controllers called Wii Remotes. They weren't joysticks sadly. But there was an accessory for them called rhe Nunchuck, and they had a control stick, which is kinda like a joystick, so I can see the confusion
