How to pre-order a physical copy of Nintendo Switch Sports

Back on the Nintendo website, physical edition pre-orders are right under the digital edition pre-order area. As of now, pre-order retailers can be viewed in the United States and Canada only.

Click on the corresponding flag and a map will appear if location information is turned on. Select the retailer that you would like to pre-order from and you will be taken to their website.

Some retailers allow physical pre-orders to be picked up at the store. Others require it to be shipped to an address. Enter the payment details just like with the digital version and confirm the purchase.

Each physical copy comes with a Leg Strap accessory. This allows players to strap a Joy-Con to their leg and use motion controls while playing one of the game's soccer modes.
