Between this and Tomodachi Life, are Miis back chat?

Nintendo Switch Sports is coming to the Switch 2 with a bit more of a tropical setting.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort was announced today for release on October 22. Twelve minigames were announced, including traditional sports like golf and basketball but also adding the... sport... of thumb wrestling (which received an extended demo).

There will be a specific character creator for the game, but it will also be possible to use Miis.

Someone at Nintendo really thought we needed a deep dive on thumb wrestling in a Direct that was already struggling to justify its existence at that point in the show.

I haven't tried Nintendo Switch Sports, so I don't think I have a need for Resort. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever played the original Wii Sports Resort, I could probably get just as much from going back and trying that. Gotta say though, I think only Nintendo would have the gall to dedicate 5 minutes of a large presentation to thumb wrestling. And I say that as a compliment!

Oh, Spring Man won.

I got a good laugh solely from watching a random youtube video on the history and death of Wuhu Island last month only to see it come back right away.
