Here are the three difficulty levels in Nintendo Switch Sports and how they affect the game.

All Difficulty Settings Differences in Nintendo Switch Sports Explained

Nintendo Switch Sports features three different difficulty settings that can be picked when playing a game against CPU-controlled opponents – Normal, Strong, and Powerhouse.

Normal is the game’s basic difficulty level and the one that most players should pick if they want to have a good time without getting frustrated. At this setting, the game is quite forgiving when it comes to the accuracy of the motions and their timing, making for a very smooth experience, no matter how good you are at the game.

Strong is where things start becoming challenging. Not only the CPU-controlled opponents are much better, but your motions also need to be more precise and timely, and if you are not, you will be missing a lot of actions, which can lead to swift defeats.

Powerhouse is the ultimate difficulty in Nintendo Switch Sports, and the one that only expert players should pick. The CPU-controlled opponents are at their best here, so you will need to be extremely precise when performing motions, as missing just one may make you lose a match. A difficulty not for the faint of heart, that is for sure!
