Last month, Nintendo Switch owners were surprised by the free release of the fitness game Jump Rope Challenge. The title was created by Nintendo developers as a way to keep in shape during quarantine, and the company decided to offer it up as a free release. Most fans assumed that would be the end of it, but Nintendo has released a free update for the game. Jump Rope Challenge‘s first update brings with it a plethora of costumes based on classic Nintendo icons, new backgrounds, and the ability to double-under. It’s certainly a welcome surprise, and Switch fans are happy to get more content for the title. In fact, those new skins seem to be winning over some new fans!
