The last major update for Nintendo Switch Sports was in February 2023, which added Golf to the game5.

The controls for Basketball in Nintendo Switch Sports involve using the Joy-Con controller. You can dribble the ball by moving the Joy-Con up and down, pass the ball by pressing 'X', and shoot the ball by holding ZR and flicking your wrist. The gameplay is designed to be simple and easy to pick up, making it accessible for players of all skill levels.

The Basketball update for Nintendo Switch Sports introduces four new game modes: Two-on-Two (single player, local, and online multiplayer), Three-Point Challenge (single player), Three-Point Contest (local multiplayer), and Five-Streak Battle (local multiplayer). These modes offer various ways to enjoy basketball gameplay with friends and family.
