If you are interested in playing eSports this semester, we have a chance to possibly field a team using Nintendo Switch. The games offered are Splatoon (4-player team), Smash (3-player team), and Mario Kart (4-player team). If you are interested, contact Coach Rohde (MS Room 117 or email rrohde@npsok.org) ASAP as there are only a limited number of Nintendo Switch consoles we can possibly acquire and I need to know if there is enough interest.
