Instant Sports does exactly what the name suggests. You pick a sport, you play, you are done. There is no layer of menus to navigate, no account to create, no tutorial that overstays its welcome. For very young children or for a gathering where the youngest player is four and you just need something that works right now, that simplicity is genuinely useful. What it cannot offer is the quality or lasting appeal of Nintendo's own sports games. I would buy this for a five-year-old's first Switch experience, but once that child is seven and has played Nintendo Switch Sports, Instant Sports will feel thin. It ranks here because it earns its place through accessibility alone, not depth.
