Wii Sports Resort returns on Switch 2
Nintendo announced Nintendo Switch Sports Resort will launch October 22 exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, reviving the motion-controlled minigame collection from Wii Sports Resort. The reveal confirmed the return of Wuhu Island and showed new and returning minigames, including a thumb-wrestling segment, plus expanded multiplayer and visual upgrades. As an expanded remake built around Switch 2 motion features, the title serves as a marquee tech showcase that could drive early console demand and lure players WHO loved the original party gameplay.
that Nintendo Direct was aimed directly at me #TribLovesVideoGames - Pokopia free update + DLC - StarFox Demo - Xenoblade 60fps upgrades - Big Walk crossplay - Everbloom - Deltarune - swap weapons on the fly in Splatoon Raiders?! - SWITCH SPORTS RESORT!!! - Metaphor on Switch 2!!! - ...is that KHIV
since we alreeady knew Rhythm Heaven Groove was coming much earlier on than these other games, I forgot to mention it here but yes I was very pleased to see it return, and happy they're following the Fever format more than the Megamix format...plus a Patapon-like RPG?! #TribLovesVideoGames
Metaphor ReFantazio is an absolute perfect fit for the Switch 2 the kind of game that I feel is enhanced by being on a portable console I never finished it on Steam, so playing through it on NS2 will be a dream~ (can't hold my breath for a real physical copy though)
so Nintendo has StarFox, Rhythm Heaven, Splatoon Raiders, Fire Emblem, Switch Sports Resort, and Ocarina of Time for 2026 6 first party games for the second half of the year and that's 2027 pretty much finished up, gotta say I'm impressed, and pleasantly surprised
and like, Pokopia is already my new favorite game, and they're giving both Free and Paid DLC to expand the world this makes me feel like when they added Happy Home Designer to New Horizons, like 'oh you're just gonna make my favorite game better?'
