New Details Revealed for 'Nintendo Switch Sports Resort', Utilizing Motion

Nintendo revealed new details for 'Nintendo Switch Sports Resort', a motion-controlled sports game exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, during Nintendo Direct.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is set on Wuhu Island, a blend of tourist attractions and sports facilities, where players can enjoy a variety of motion-controlled sports. Utilizing intuitive controls by moving the Joy-Con 2 directly, players can experience a total of 12 sports. A jump rope mini-game for pre-workout warmups is also included separately.

In this Direct, various new features were introduced that allow players to enjoy Wuhu Island itself in addition to sporting events. Players can freely roam the island, chasing dolphins in the ocean or searching for hibiscuses hidden throughout the location.

A new single-player offline mode, Island Crown, was also revealed. Players build up their skills and increase their ranking across each sport to challenge the Island Champion at the top. Even stronger Island Legends await, allowing players to dive deep into each event.

The game supports everything from single-player to local multiplayer and online competition. Up to 4 players can play together on a single console, and except for skateboarding, existing Joy-Cons for Nintendo Switch can also be connected and used. Online play features a competitive Pro League as well as modes for casual matches.

Another key feature is that each sport uses unique controls. Skateboarding utilizes the mouse function of the Joy-Con 2, while the Jet Ski requires moving the controller like handlebars. For the Propeller Plane, tilting the Joy-Con 2 allows players to fly freely through the sky.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort will be released on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 22.
