Nintendo has officially announced Nintendo Switch Sports Resort for Nintendo Switch 2, confirming a late-2026 launch and a roster of activities that revisit the island setting made famous by Wii Sports Resort.
The game was revealed during Nintendo Direct on June 9, 2026 and in an accompanying Nintendo press release; Nintendo confirmed the title will launch on October 22, 2026.
The announcement positions Nintendo Switch Sports Resort as the next major entry in the motion-sports lineage that began with Wii Sports and later continued with Nintendo Switch Sports.
What Nintendo revealed and how it fits the franchise
Nintendo described the project as a return to Wuhu Island-style resort sports, expanding on the party and motion-play formula for Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo asked players to be patient for this entry — the company told fans they will need to wait a bit longer, as the title arrives in October rather than summer.
The game was presented with a trailer during the June 9 Nintendo Direct and a supporting press release from Nintendo.

Nintendo listed 12 playable activities in the initial reveal.
The full lineup announced by the company is:
- Boxing

- Volleyball

These events emphasize motion-based controls adapted for Nintendo Switch 2 hardware and the new Joy-Con input described in the reveal.
