Nintendo has officially opened preorders for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, a new title announced during its June Direct event. Physical editions of the game are currently available for preorder on Amazon. The digital version can be preordered directly from the Nintendo eShop for $49.99.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is scheduled to launch on October 22, 2026, and will be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 console. The game is designed to utilize upgraded Joy-Con 2 controls, rendering it incompatible with older Switch 1 hardware.
Following a pattern established by Nintendo, the digital edition's price of $49.99 suggests that physical copies may carry a different cost. The game is considered a spiritual successor to Wii Sports Resort, incorporating many sports from that classic title, alongside almost all games from Switch Sports.
Confirmed activities for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort include Archery, Boxing, Table Tennis, Tennis, Volleyball, Bowling, Basketball, Golf, Thumb Wrestling, Skateboarding, Power Cruising, Prop Plane, and Jump Rope. New additions to the series include jump roping, skateboarding, and thumb wrestling. However, some sports present in Wii Sports Resort and Switch Sports, such as soccer, sword dueling, and frisbee, are not currently listed.
While Nintendo has not announced any further sports additions, the possibility of future updates introducing more activities remains. (Source: IGN)
