Return to Wuhu Island and dive into new ways to explore, compete and play in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, arriving exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 system Oct. 22nd, 2026. In advance of the game’s release Nintendo Australia has shared a commercial for the game featuring Lleyton and Cruz Hewitt, a pro tennis father-and-son duo.
On a sun-drenched island retreat, you and your friends and family can compete in various sports, activities and minigames designed to be easy to pick up and play, no matter what your gaming experience level. You can also travel around the island at your leisure and enjoy the sights and hidden surprises in-person or online across land, sea and sky!
Before jumping in, you can warm up with a round of Jump Rope! Then, when you’re ready, check out everything the island has to offer…
Fun & Games: For those looking to engage in active competition, there are 12 sports to get you up and moving! Engage in a heated fist fight with Boxing, use the Joy-Con 2 motion controls to let your arrows fly in Archery and power up your thumbs and pin your opponent in Thumb Wrestling. Play and earn Spocco Points which can be exchanged for character outfits, hairstyles and even sports equipment. If you’re looking for a single-player challenge, get ready to take on top-ranked Island Champions in the new Island Crown Mode. And who knows, you might get good enough to earn the chance to take on an Island Legend…
Leisurely Exploration: In Skateboarding, Power Cruising and Prop Plane modes, you can freely explore the island at your own speed – and be sure to keep an eye out for cameras scattered around the island for Spocco Photos, they can give you information on must-see sightseeing spots!
Make it Your Own: Nintendo Switch Sports Resort also allows you to customize your Sportsmate with your own personal style, choosing everything from hairstyles and outfits to accessories and body types. You can also create a Mii character on your Nintendo Switch 2 to use in the game or bring over an existing one to join in the fun!
