I really enjoyed the training modes for Tenning, Golf, and Bowling in Wii Sports. So many fun twists that made you think different about your timing and strategies. And let's not get started on the stamps in Wii Sports Resort. O.o
I'd only categorize Wii Sports as "more adult" than 1-2-Switch in the sense that it doesn't actively exclude an older audience. It's a calm, non-threatening white with all age groups shown in the marketing, and all age groups ended up enjoying it very much.
Conversely, 1-2-Switch is boldly colorful, eccentric and fast paced in its execution and marketing, draws inspiration from many genres, and has you use the controller in allegorical ways, rather than straight forward resemblance to real world objects you would normally manipulate. And the ads mostly feature hip 20-somethings playing the game, with older people mostly being in costumes to fit the themes of the minigames. And it doesn't come with the system.
This is all a very roundabout way of saying that the game isn't as accessible to the older demographics as Wii Sports was. It's going all out with trying to be peppy. Wii sports wasn't afraid to look serene, or boring even. :)
