Gallery: Enjoy These Hyperactive Images From Hyper Sports R For Switch

Was...was I just called ancient? Hang on, I need my reading glasses...

I actually like Konami's Hyper Sports / Track & Field series, but this doesn't feel like the right time for such a game.

Never played Hyper Sports, but did play Track & Field on my Commodore 64. The amount of joysticks I broke....damn

Instead of getting an excellent, exclusive Castlevania game (similar to the DS games), we get this.

Thanks, Konami, for delivering exactly what people aren't asking for.

So far so good.
I wish some DDR artists (DJ Yoshitaka, Yasuhiro Taguchi, Yuichi Asami, Sota Fujimori) make some good songs for Hyper Sports R.

Edit: Btw, Swimming is the Best part.
I can always staring at Shirtless Hunky dudes before the game begin.

Looks good. Though they ended on an unflattering pic of rendering without shoes. Her poor ankles.

Hyper Sports on the MSX was one of the first games I ever played, I was probably 4 or 5. I'm curious if this title turns out good. I tried out Track and Field on the DS a little while ago, but I didn't like it.

Looks a bit generic, characterless, nothing like punch-out characters, Konami need to hire some better artists

These characters are quite charming, but the environments could maybe use a little love.

Ye Olde Sportscompilation seems to still be very much alive though, which always makes me happy.

Can we also have an Alternative World Games R?
If the stories on Wikipedia are to be trusted, Atari should be sitting on the rights to that one now

Couldn't care less and would prefer konami to get us other franchises but there is an audience for this (go vacation for example has been in the UK charts everyone since launch)

Ah yes, a game where you have to waggle your joystick while concentrating furiously.

Sounds like @Anti-Matter has a head start.

I was brilliant at this on the speccy. Apart from the vault... oh how I hated the vault.

@diablo2 Not only that but they are sat on a new Contra arcade game that would make a fantastic home version.

I want it NOW

@GrailUK I think we just were....young people these days....

@nintendoPLAYROOM The most amazing thing I remember about track and field isn't even the game. It's all the different techniques and positions people used to try to tap buttons as fast as possible.

@GrailUK - T&F was a great spectator game due to the hilarious faces people make while furiously button mashing. We used to laugh uproariously at each other. The Power Pad made it even funnier.

Wasn't interested in this at all. But for some reason it's now on my radar. I think weirdly, it's cos of the R suffix. Got BomberMan after all the updates and it's genuinely brilliant (though we need a Saturn port). So I'll give Konami a pass considering all the hate they're currently getting, and the more you hear of the whole Kojima situation it appears it's not as one-sided as initially thought. Wouldn't touch Survival with a barge pole, obviously...

@Bunkerneath Hyper Sports and Track & Field are essentially the same series.

Great games to play over a couple of beers with a few friends. I'd gladly but another track and field game as long as there are enough events etc. I like the look of the touch of injected humour in to the characters aswell.

I think it has a Decathlete by Sega vibe...and I loved that game!

@electrolite77 Hahah I just posted that mate! Snap!

Jinx

@GrailUK me too how rude. Funnily enough I was on about Daley Thompson's decathlon only yesterday

I'm all-in.

@Anti-Matter Nobody is shirtless in this one.

@Mii_duck , you won this comment section

@iPlayNintendo
Aha !
I saw Shirtless dudes from Swimming and Beach Volley ball from other screenshots.

Btw, i'm really Surprised because NOBODY here ever knew / play Dance Dance Revolution series or other Rhythm games from Konami (Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, Guitar Freaks & Drum Mania, Jubeat, Sound Voltex, Dance Rush, Para Para Paradise, etc).

Guys, Konami is Not just about Contra, Castlevania, MGS, Gradius, Track & Field, Pro Evolution Soccer, etc.

@diablo2
Believe me that I would like Konami to develop a new Dance Dance Revolution or a racing game like the Road Fighter (yes, it is already many years old), but, even if it sounds funny, sometimes, I prefer that they do what they decide to do (even if it's a game "nobody asks"), Why? because in some times that game that "nobody asks" will be a game that can expand the already "repetitive" catalog of games that exists in all consoles and can give "way" to then come more games and more for "those who ask"

example? nobody ask for splatoon in its moment, right?, and what happens now with that new franchise?

@SakuraHaruka
I really want Dance Dance Revolution A comes to Nintendo Switch also.
I can't wait to play Endymion, Over the Period, Paranoia Revolution, Egoism 440, etc on the go.

@GrailUK haha! me as well! my favorite was down on the floor slapping the pad repeatedly! Man...those were the days...

How many players? If they make as great as Sidney 2000 was, would be great. 8 players, great competititions and quite fin to play.

@nintendoPLAYROOM Indeed. I fondly remember the actual physical pain during the last 300m of the 1500m marathon in Activision's decathlon. The desperate play to knock the joystick out of your opponent's hands for a brief respite...

I probably threw more coins into Hyper Olympics and Hyper Sports than any other video game. I love Decathlon on the Atari 2600, and Hyper Sports on the C64. I even wrote an archery game on the C64 that my mates and I used to play a fair bit.

And yet in saying all of that, these screenshots don't get me overly excited. But unless it's a pile of garbage, I'll no doubt end up picking it up upon release anyways...

Do we have any release date?
