Nintendo has announced that it will be adding full motion control support for soccer in Nintendo Switch Sports on July 26. The upcoming free update is scheduled to go live at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET on that day and will include a number of new features including the ability for players to use the motion of their legs to kick the soccer ball in-game.
In 4v4 and 1v1 Soccer matches, players will be able to use a Joy-Con controller and a Leg Strap accessory, which are available in the physical version of the game or sold separately, to score goals using the kicking motion in real life. Players will also be able to use their hands by jogging in place to dash in-game. Nintendo explained that playing this way will translate users’ in-game kicks to be more powerful.
