Nintendo Switch Sports Resort review: a polished collection of 12 activities
Nintendo's Switch Sports Resort brings 12 activities to Switch 2, including tennis, bowling, golf and boxing.
The game also includes five activities from Wii Sports Resort and adds thumb wrestling, volleyball and skateboarding.
It builds on the familiar Wii Sports approach, using motion controls for quick, accessible sports games.
The review calls this the series' most refined outing yet, with activities that are easy to learn but leave room for skill.
Players can enjoy the games alone or with others, and the lively Wuhu Island setting adds detail between matches.
The result is a strong mix of familiar favourites and new activities rather than a major change to the formula.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort brings together 12 activities, or 13 if its rope-jump warm-up is counted.
The activities include returning favourites, sports from Wii Sports Resort and three new additions.
Eurogamer says the collection is a refined evolution of the Wii Sports formula, with responsive motion controls for Switch 2.
The review praises the games’ balance of accessibility and depth, saying they suit both casual group play and more focused sessions.
Eurogamer also highlights Wuhu Island’s detailed backdrop and says the game can be fun without a room full of friends.
