Konami Explains Why Hyper Sports R Is A Switch Exclusive

During E3 last week, Konami announced Hyper Sports R, an exclusive sports party game for Nintendo Switch.

Konami brand and media manager Benjamin Kinney explained that due to the power of Joy-Con and how motion controls work on Switch, they felt it was a perfect choice for Nintendo Switch.

Check out Kinney’s explanation below.

The reason it’s a Switch exclusive is because it’s such powerful technology. We were at [the Switch’s] launch with [Super Bomberman R], but even then the devs and the teams were looking at what the Switch could do, watching what Nintendo was doing with motion controls and the way Joy-Cons work — there’s potential. For sure, that’s one of the reasons we chose the Switch. And even look into the sports that we have coming out — volleyball and stuff. You can see that the motions that are going to be involved are going to be more sensitive. … The devs are working on all those motions to make them as natural as possible … more of a natural motion.
