Two new sports could arrive in the future in addition to golf and the new form of soccer.
In the month of February we not only had different Pokémon and PlayStation events, but also, in the second week of that month, we had a Nintendo Direct that was in charge of presenting the Nintendo Switch games from March to September of this year. . And among the many surprises that this event left us, it must be said that the Nintendo Switch Sports announcement was one of the most applauded.
This is not only due to the fact that a saga has become so popular that with the technology of Nintendo Switch it could show an evolution of what was seen on Wii, but also because we must not forget that Wii Sports is one of the best-selling games in history, which is why it has fans and followers who even today might not even have a Nintendo Switch. And that we are talking about the 5th best-selling console in history.
In any case, Nintendo Switch Sports was announced with six sports available at launch, these being football, bowling, badminton, tennis, volleyball and chambara/fencing, also announcing that other sports would be added in future updates, specifically a new form of soccer in the summer and golf in the fall. And under this premise, it seems that other sports would arrive to the title of the hybrid console.
An insider reports data from other sports in the internal files of Nintendo Switch Sports
That said, it must be said that the user Wipeoutjack7 has shared on social networks Nintendo Switch Sports internal code information following the beta that was available on February 20 and 21. In this way, they have been found in the game data from two more sports, these being basketball (basketball in the archives) and dodgeball. Regarding the latter, it must be said that it would be the equivalent of dodgeball. You can see the tweet posted below:
Another interesting thing found while datamining Switch Sports, the game references both “Basketball” and “Dodgeball” alongside the other playable sports. Could very well just be scrapped content, but mayyybe a potential future update? pic.twitter.com/mJb4SbaYM4

It should be noted that it is not ruled out that they are sports eliminated from the game, so it will be necessary to see if in the future they end up arriving in the form of an update. Also, it must be said that basketball is a sport available in Wii Sportsboth to be able to play matches and for triple contests.
On the other hand, when it comes to dodgeball, it must be said that this would be the first time it would be available, this being something that it shares with volleyball and badminton in the new installment. It will be necessary to see if they end up arriving or if other sports join the campus.
