On October 8, Nintendo released a roughly seven-minute overview trailer for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, a Switch 2 exclusive launching on October 22. The video gathers the 12 motion-control sports and shows single-player content, challenges, and Wuhu Island.
The official list includes archery, basketball, bowling, boxing, golf, Power Cruising, prop plane, skateboarding, table tennis, tennis, thumb wrestling, and volleyball. Bowling and basketball appear as group activities; boxing and thumb wrestling are more direct duels.
Joy-Con 2 mouse and avatars
Skateboarding uses Joy-Con 2 mouse controls to explore the island. Power Cruising asks the player to steer across the waves, and the prop plane responds to tilting the controller. Players create and customize a Sportsmate or Mii and can play online or offline. Nintendo has not yet said how many people can play together online; the notice says that detail will come later.
The trailer also highlights points earned in each match and spent in the store to dress avatars, a step beyond the more limited customization of the previous Nintendo Switch Sports. The October 22 date has not changed.
