NBA Bounce Coming to Nintendo Switch: Family-Friendly Hoops Game Set for 2025 Launch

Outright Games, a publisher renowned for creating accessible and family-oriented interactive experiences, has officially announced NBA Bounce, an upcoming basketball game slated for release on Nintendo Switch on September 26, 2025.

Developed in collaboration with Unfinished Pixel, the Spain-based studio celebrated for their work on sports titles, NBA Bounce is tailored to deliver engaging, all-ages fun on Nintendo’s top-selling hybrid console. NBA Bounce positions itself as a family-friendly basketball adventure, designed to welcome players of all skill levels onto the digital court.

The game will offer four distinct modes, catering to diverse playstyles—from quick matches perfect for pick-up-and-play sessions to a full season campaign mode ideal for those seeking extended competition.

Adding even more depth, players can tackle 32 in-game challenges, unlocking trophies and collectibles while immersing themselves in the fast-paced, rewarding gameplay that the Nintendo Switch’s audience has come to expect. One of NBA Bounce’s standout features is its robust avatar customization system.

Players can craft both male and female basketball avatars, personalizing everything from head size and facial features to skin tones, clothing, and accessories.

Whether fans wish to authentically represent themselves or conjure up creative, cartoonish characters, the customization suite offers meaningful representation and whimsical flair.

To further amp up the fun, NBA Bounce will include official NBA mascots as unlockable, playable characters—enabling everyone to take the court as iconic mascots from teams such as the Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, and Milwaukee Bucks. Ensuring accessibility for the youngest players, NBA Bounce incorporates comprehensive tutorials, user-friendly controls, and three adjustable difficulty levels, giving fans the freedom to learn at their own pace.

The focus on independent play makes it possible for basketball enthusiasts of any age to shoot, dribble, and dunk their way to victory, without feeling sidelined regardless of experience level. The local multiplayer functionality, supporting up to four players on a single Nintendo Switch console, promises to make NBA Bounce a standout addition for group play and family gatherings.

This multiplayer support aligns with Outright Games’ mission to foster shared experiences and lasting memories through interactive entertainment. Stephanie Malham, Managing Director at Outright Games, underscored the significance of the partnership with the NBA, stating that collaborating with such a respected sports organization represents a major achievement for the publisher.

Malham emphasized that bringing Outright Games’ expertise in developing approachable games to NBA Bounce is an exciting opportunity to inspire a new generation’s enthusiasm for basketball, sports, and gaming alike. NBA Bounce is set to launch both physically and digitally via the Nintendo eShop, allowing easy access for Nintendo Switch players worldwide.
