The preview lists 12 activities: tennis, bowling, archery, boxing, volleyball, ping pong, basketball, golf, finger sumo, propeller plane, skateboarding, and marine bike, with jump rope as a warm-up. Tennis, ping pong, and volleyball are singled out for Joy-Con 2 swing controls.","whyItMatters":"The pitch has moved off the menu screen: the sports are now one part of an island you roam between events, which is the part of this package a preview can actually test.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe familiar events return, and so does the layer around them. The preview finds Wuhu Island rebuilt as a space you can run across, with famous spots to visit and hibiscus flowers to hunt between matches, plus dolphins to swim with. Sports remain the core, and the count is large: twelve activities at once, plus jump rope as a warm-up. Control hinges on Joy-Con 2 motion, with swing speed and angle setting shots in tennis, tilt adjusting spin in ping pong, and three separate motions for receive, toss, and spike in volleyball.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTennis\u003c/strong\u003e: swing the Joy-Con 2 like a racket; vary speed and angle for lobs and spins\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBowling\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArchery\u003c/strong\u003e: the writer\u0026#39;s personal favorite among the events played\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoxing\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolleyball\u003c/strong\u003e: separate motions for receive, toss, and spike\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePing Pong\u003c/strong\u003e: returns from Wii Sports Resort; tilt controls spin on cuts and drives\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBasketball\u003c/strong\u003e: 2-on-2 with switching offense and defense\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGolf\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinger Sumo\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePropeller Plane\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkateboarding\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarine Bike\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e","blueskyPost":"The hands-on preview lists 12 activities on Wuhu Island, but tennis, ping pong, and volleyball are the three built around Joy-Con 2 swing controls.","twitterPost":"Nintendo Switch Sports Resort's 12 activities include finger sumo, with tennis and ping pong singled out for Joy-Con 2 swing controls.","threadsPost":"The hands-on preview of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort lists 12 activities, from tennis to finger sumo, but only tennis, ping pong, and volleyball are built around Joy-Con 2 swing controls.
