Nintendo Switch Sports has just launched worldwide and gamers are swinging their Joy-Con like it's 2006 all over again (in fact, one poor soul has already chucked a Joy-Con straight into his television set). It's a neat return for the franchise that boasts some fun sporting events and solid presentation, but we thought the game was lacking in some areas, particularly when playing locally.
Like many of its games, Nintendo has included a fun little easter egg within the credits. Nintendo know, of course, that gamers don't want to just sit back and watch a bunch of names scroll up the screen, so it's seen fit to include a fun little tennis mini-game that you can play while the credits roll.
As described in the above tweet from @nintenmau5, you simply need to whack a tennis ball back and forth 50 times in a row, bagging yourself a present if you succeed - neat! To access the credits, you just need to navigate to the game's settings screen and select the option for credits.
We love stuff like this; it reminds us a great deal of the awesome mini-games you can play during the credits in the Super Smash Bros franchise.
Have you discovered this easter egg in Nintendo Switch Sports yet? How are you finding the game overall? Let us know with a comment.

Is this discussion more about someone's opinions being continuously posted everywhere or the actual topic itself?
The comments that follow Anti-Matter's are worse than his post. He was at least on the subject of gaming.
Love this sort of surprises.
So what's the present?
Um. Im with Matty. What's the present
@MattyHammo I wouldn't be surprised if the present is just a feeling of self worth
Hey guys, just a reminder to use the report feature to alert us of any comments you feel are off topic/against our community rules. We also have the ignore feature which stops an ignored user's comments from showing.
Thanks!

Looks like the “community rules” aren’t exactly reflecting real-world community sentiment given the comically-lengthed (and redacted) exchange above.

I wish more devs put in credits games. I know more of the staff names from smash than any other game series I own because I always play the credits game. Especially since many devs don’t allow you to skip or scroll past them. Might as well as make them fun.

*Nintendo knows
(I know the reasoning, but I respectfully disagree.)
Has the online play improve significantly over the online test demo? My family found it kinda laggy and frustrating in the demo.
jeez who was moderating this article, are all the comments that bad?
Loving this game so far! Had a blast with friends the other day!
@AndyC_MK111 hit that “ignore” button on one of his posts, and you’ll never see his posts again.
But you will still see a lot of people reacting to his posts, which can be frustratingly intriguing…
Amazingly this was the first I discovered in the game, since I was playing and recording a "First Play " video, I went straight to the credits. Once I got the hang of it, I got it up to 63 and grabbed the tittle "Staffer". I wonder if there is anything above 100...
@MattyHammo yeah, what this person said. What’s the present??
How on earth does a story about a credit's minigame in Wii Sports 3 have more redactions than a Pentagon document on UFOs?! What is wrong with people?
I miss the WiiU/3DS era
I’m so confused by this comment section… what is the present?
@Wilforce : I’m hoping for a golden toilet to flush the golden Korok poo reward from Breath of the Wild.
The Ignore feature here is great, but we also need a "hide any posts that are replying to a person you have ignored" feature.
@NikHogan by far this is the most removed posts I've seen in an article. I think someone needs to chill it with that report button or someone needs to stop being so "by the book" when it comes to moderation. It's a bit ridiculous.
I'm sure this will be removed for "discussing moderation" too.
Is the Easter Egg a full game?
What did I miss in the comment section? Never seen so many removed comments in an article before. After seeing the comment section for the review of the game I’ve had enough of the whining myself - and for complaints that are hardly valid.
@Ryan_Again Soccer itself is one of the smoothest experience I’ve had with Nintendo Switch Online. I’ve had a great experience with the quality and maybe just a bit of hiccups here and there.
Just played the mini-game myself. Surprised how well made it is, 50 is insane btw I’ve tried several times and only got to 15
Can someone please explain to me what the hell happened in this comment section?
I wish more games had credit mini-games like Smash Melee or WarioWare: Get It Together!
I'm glad this is in the game. It gives me something to work towards until the next wave of incentives becomes available....in 9 days.-_-
@NotArmani I love the little touches Nintendo puts such as playable credits and especially when it's scored. It's that extra effort that makes the gamer feel like the recipient of TLC.
@Thomystic Me too. It's that random little thought that counts y'know.
I feel like Scott Lang right now.. what the hell happened here?
I’ve never seen a tread have so many removed posts.
What on earth is going on?
@NikHogan @Hero-of-WiiU It was just some person unnecessarily bullying another person for something off topic, and all comments whether they were bullying the person, or defending the person were removed. Disrespecting others comments were likely removed for bullying, while off-topic comments were removed for arguing against the bullying.
I like the idea of credits minigames and I too would like to see more. Despite the mixed reviews across the board, most actual users I know are enjoying the game. I am looking fwd to trying it.
Geez what's going on with this comment section, moderator going off
@Shiryu On my second try I got 149 and didnt get anything. So I think Staffer is the only reward. (Unless there's something at 150, which I REALLY hope not)
I am so done with this game. My beef right now out side of Nintendo taking away 10 extra points from my purchase rewards (I paid $49.99 and got 40, not 50, is that we have to earn points for new items by playing in the global rounds, which fine except they actually changed the rules and set up, I now have to play in a bowling obstacle course. BS.
@ImagineerNik thanks for the update.
I really thought they were going to announce what the easter egg was haha
I have no idea what happened here but this is disappointing. I don't mean to go off topic but as a victim of bullying in both school (back in the day) and right NOW in work I don't like what I'm seeing here. I've known Anti Matter for a good number of years from when I was a user here before and I genuinely don't understand why this man gets so much hate.
On topic it's always nice to see easter eggs in games it's just a shame this one turned out the way it did.
@AlphaElite I said this on the Forums recently but people disagreed with me which I can understand but seeing all of these removed comments I'm beginning to think perhaps it is needed after all.
