LogInDon't tell Nintendo about it.
Let's be honest: Nintendo Switch Sports never quite captured the magic of the original Wii Sports titles. Super Sports Isle by Tiernan DeFranco is a spiritual successor to Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort that brings back that classic fun. Set on a vibrant island resort packed with sports and activities, the game introduces new sports, activities, modes, achievements, exploration, and more.
Super Sports Isle also supports Joy-Con controllers, which you can easily connect to your PC via Bluetooth. Once paired, the game automatically handles player assignment and motion tracking, delivering a seamless experience. The video above showcases Tiernan's boxing prototype, which uses a Python driver for Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons and custom backend code to manage motion data. Based on the setup, the system assigns one or two Joy-Cons to each player and broadcasts the data over localhost for Godot to receive.
Since then, he's rewritten the implementation in C++ as a GDExtension, allowing it to run faster and natively within the game, and his JoyConManager now simply calls a function from the extension to get the status of all connected Joy-Cons. From there, it handles player assignments and passes the relevant data to the correct player instances in GDScript.
