9 Best Nintendo Switch Games You're Not Playing
6. NBA Playgrounds
Channeling NBA Jam and NBA Street but with more focus on stamina-management, yes there are player-scattering elbow smashes and out-of-nowhere dunks, but you have to earn them, which is where Playgrounds' stat management comes in.
Allowing for only a couple of moves to be pulled off in succession before waiting on a recharge, it adds a strategic layer atop the otherwise arcady foundations. Get these mechanics down and you're rewarded with power-ups (infinite sprint, shot/dunk multipliers) and additional score points, the competition slowly heating up between two players getting more accustomed to the game's overall flow.
In turn, this means that when you do slap the ball out the opposition's hand, sprint towards the basket and fly across the court like Michael Jordan at the end of Space Jam, it feels AWESOME.
