Critic Reviews for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort
While the quality of its sports varies drastically, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a fun and playful collection overall that shines as the party game it’s meant to be.
Nintendo's knockabout sports series returns for its most refined outing yet; charming, wonderfully considered, and it doesn't require a room full of friends to be fun.
As someone who played the original Wii Sports when it first released, and was awed by the rudimentary real-life movements being mimicked on screen, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort allowed me to feel that all over again as an adult. And it’s a feeling best felt surrounded by friends.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a triumphant, motion-controlled return to form that brings Wuhu Island to life in crisp 4K. Despite a somewhat modest sport selection at launch, its engaging single-player Island Crown mode, clever Joy-Con 2 features, and accessible local co-op make it an absolute must-play for families and motion-gaming fans alike.
After the stumbling start of its predecessor, it's nice to see the series back on track in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. While some of the 12 different sports might feel a little too safe, most of the classics feel better than they've ever been, and the newbies surprise and delight with some classic Nintendo intuition. Revamped customisation options and a surprising amount of single-player content both feel like open goals, but they also provide a great excuse to keep playing, even once the party is over. This just might be the Nintendo Sports series at its best.Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a shoulder joint in desperate need of icing.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a great sports game with a variety of options to enjoy yourself in both online and offline play.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a lot of fun, but it's also a game that's entirely removed from standard gaming. This isn't going to appeal to everyone, but I think it's a slam-dunk for those that have kids who want to get involved, or people who want a convenient way to get themselves moving just a little bit more, even if you're unlikely to be working up a sweat. It's a lot of fun, but it's also a game that's largely more of the same, so knowing that you'll like a few of the sports is a must.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a delightful collection of sports that make great use of the Switch 2's motion controls.
