Script error: The function "nihongo_foot" does not exist. is an upcoming sports video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch 2. It is a sequel to Nintendo Switch Sports, with elements based on Wii Sports and 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. It adds an open world version of Wuhu Island, the setting for Wii Sports Resort. 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
Much like 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 ResortTemplate:--). 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, also known as soccer in America, do not return as sports in the game.
In its Comic Con presentations, 100 Pin Bowling was confirmed to be available as a side mode,[citation needed] alongside a 4-player mode for Power Cruising.[citation needed]
Development and release
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort was first announced in a Nintendo Direct held on June 9, 2026, showcasing the twelve main sports and the worldwide release date of October 22, 2026.[3] One of the sports, Thumb Wrestling, was featured in an extended demonstration by Nintendo executive Yoshiaki Koizumi during the Nintendo Direct.[4][5]
