## Summary

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is an inviting new collection of motion-controlled games that brings the easy, sociable appeal of Wii Sports to family play. Its holiday-themed island and playful activities make it enjoyable in short sessions, while added challenges and progression give players reasons to return.

The game includes five returning sports and seven new ones, among them skateboarding, archery, boxing, jetskiing and piloting a small plane. The reviewer praises the intuitive controls and lively setting, though basketball feels slower than the real sport. Out on 22 October, it costs £41.99 in the UK.
