Nintendo unveiled Nintendo Switch Sports, a new sports game, and staged a short online test play where gamers could check it out before the game’s formal release.
Despite the fact that Nintendo put a variety of limitations to guarantee that video from the test play was not released to the general public, dataminers seem to have delved into the game in search of hidden secrets.
Nintendo Switch Sports has further references to two unreleased mini-games: Dodgeball and Basketball, according to dataminers ‘Wipeoutjack7’ and ‘ToyConGarageVR.’ Because Dodgeball and Basketball were not included in Nintedo Switch Sports’ first announcement of mini-games, it is assumed that they are either scheduled for a future update or were simply abandoned material.
Another interesting thing found while datamining Switch Sports, the game references both "Basketball" and "Dodgeball" alongside the other playable sports. Could very well just be scrapped content, but mayyybe a potential future update? pic.twitter.com/mJb4SbaYM4

The formal release of Nintendo Switch Sports is still a ways off on April 29th, so there’s still time for things to change on the backend.
