Nintendo Switch Sports Resort[a] is an upcoming sports video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch 2. It is a sequel to Nintendo Switch Sports and part of the Wii Sports subseries of the Wii series, with elements based on Wii Sports Resort.

The game was first announced in a Nintendo Direct held on June 9, 2026. Nintendo Switch Sports Resort features a collection of twelve sports, with some found in previous entries of the series. The game uses the Joy-Con 2's motion and mouse controls for gameplay. It is scheduled for a worldwide release on October 22, 2026.

Gameplay

[edit]

Much like other Wii Sports titles, the game is a compilation of various sports that use motion controls to recreate actions from their respective sports, using the Joy-Con 2's gyroscope or mouse controls.[1] The game is set on Wuhu Island (the setting used previously in Wii Sports Resort). The game retains the "Sportsmates" avatars seen in its predecessor, as well as the ability to use Mii characters.[1]

The game features twelve main sports: Archery, Boxing, Table tennis, Tennis, Volleyball, Bowling, Basketball, Golf, Thumb Wrestling, Skateboarding, Power Cruising, and Prop Plane. Jump Rope is provided as a warm-up sport.[2] Of the eight sports featured in the original Nintendo Switch Sports, only badminton, chambara, and football do not return.
