Get warmed up for the new and returning sports in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort!

Get your game face on—Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is almost here, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2! On 22nd October, you’ll be able compete in 12 different sports—solo or with a friend*, in person or online**—using intuitive motion controls.

But before we head to Wuhu Island—an island resort with tourist attractions and sports facilities—we gotta get warmed up. So, grab your headband, hike up your gym shorts, and let’s get ready to move!

What sports are new?

To help get you gameday ready, we thought we’d go through the new and returning sports you’ll find across land, sea, and…sky? Yup!

The new

Thumb Wrestling

Ready to hand-le anyone who dares oppose you? Pin your opponent’s thumb for three seconds to win. (Tip: If you hold your thumb down, it’ll get bigger and stronger. Who knew?)

Skateboarding

Yo, let’s kick(flip) it! Use the Joy-Con 2 controller as a mouse to grind rails, slide around, and even perform aerial tricks.

The returning

Power Cruising

Get carried a-wave exploring the island using any pair of Joy-Con controllers to steer. You can even twist the controller for an instant boost!

Archery

Draw your arrow, aim for the target, and shoot for the high score. But stay sharp—the wind may play a factor.

Bowling

Spare no time knockin’ down pins! You can even twist the controller to add a spin to your throw.

Table Tennis

Serve up some fun with quick and simple shots.

Boxing

Use different punches to get the ol’ K.O.

Prop Plane

Show that you’ve got the flight stuff by tilting your controller to speed up, roll in the air, and fire at balloons!

Tennis

Lob-y for the win using any Joy-Con controller as your racket.

Volleyball

Bump, set, and outmanoeuvre your opponent on the court. Make ‘em think you’re a dinosaur with all those sick spikes!

Basketball

It’s time to ball, y’all! Dribble, pass, and shoot to score. We’re swish-in’ you good luck.

Golf

Adjust your shot and swing away! A cup-le of tips: aim for the hole in the distance and check your ball’s trajectory.

Phew! Now that’s a whole lot of sports action. Just remember, you can always start your game by warming up with a little Jump Rope action.
