Nintendo Switch Sports update out now (version 1.3.0), patch notes

Original: Nintendo Switch Sports has just gone live with its new version 1.3.0 update.

It goes without saying, but the main highlight is the inclusion of golf as a new sport (you may recall it was planned for the fall before being delayed to this holiday). All modes are supported, and there’s even a Shot Assist option for beginners. It’s also worth mentioning that LAN play is now supported.

The full patch notes for the Nintendo Switch Sports version 1.3.0 update are as follows:

Golf

• Golf has been added. It can be enjoyed in all modes: Play Globally, Play Locally and Play with Friends.
• We added a Shot Assist mode in Golf to make it easier for beginners to play. To use it, go to Options → User Settings → Other.
  • This setting only applies to Play Locally and Play with Friends.
  • Please be aware that even if you have Shot Assist mode on, your setting will revert to Normal in Play Globally mode.
    The Shot Assist option in Golf Settings.
