The vast new open world allows for sports on a scale far greater than anything previously seen in the series. However, however much fun and accessible these motion-controlled games may be, it is only when played with others that they really come into their own.

"Nintendo Switch Sports Resort" has ultimately turned out to be pretty much what one would expect: a suitably extensive and, above all, fun collection of minigames that makes comprehensive and mostly effective use of motion controls and also includes entertaining exploration modes.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is fun to play, but missing classic sports, limited customisation and familiar gameplay make it feel more like a repackaged experience than a new game.

«Switch Sports Resort» is a clear improvement over the underwhelming «Switch Sports» (2022), with more sports, more single-player content and plenty of cosmetic items. Best of all, the legendary Wuhu Island is back, and I get to explore it by plane, skateboard and water scooter. Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn't make the most of the idyllic resort. The solid gameplay foundations of several sports deserved more interesting modes, while progression relies too heavily on repetition and largely worthless cosmetic rewards. The graphics are mediocre, and classics like Frisbee and swordplay are missing. If you're looking for a casual party game for local multiplayer, it's worth considering. Everyone else should think twice about returning to Wuhu Island and might prefer to dust off their old Wii.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a lot of fun, and even nearly two decades late, Wuhu Island still offers an eclectic resort setting filled with some great moments. The newly added sports are especially great, and each one shows how versatile the Joy-Con 2 controllers can be. Overall, this new entry has strong momentum heading into the Switch 2's second holiday period, and I expect many families will enjoy what it offers. I'm just not sure how it'll do long term. For now, though, catch me climbing the ranks on Wuhu Island.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a triumphant return to Wuhu Island, delivering reliable family-friendly fun and slick motion-control tracking. While it cannot quite recapture the lightning-in-a-bottle magic or iconic hardware feel of the original Wii Sports, its expanded modes, free-roaming exploration, and solid game roster make it an easy recommendation for couch multiplayer.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort offers a nice mix of familiar sports with a few minor new additions, as well as the opportunity to explore more of the island itself and compete against challenging opponents both offline and online. However, that is largely where the new features worth buying the game for end. The overall presentation leaves a lot to be desired, and unfortunately, the new modes feel somewhat limited after just a few hours of gameplay, making it difficult to recommend the title to all players. Nevertheless, those looking for a few fun rounds with friends and family can still give it a try.
