Switch Sports Resort returns to Wuhu Island: older Joy-Con work, but skateboarding needs Joy-Con 2

The Switch 2 exclusive includes 12 sports, with one explicit exception to older-controller support.

Returning to Wuhu Island does not mean putting every old controller away. Nintendo Brazil’s October 22 introduction says Nintendo Switch Sports Resort supports both Joy-Con 2 and earlier Joy-Con controllers. Skateboarding is the stated exception: it needs Joy-Con 2.

The Switch 2 exclusive offers 12 sports, ranging from table tennis, archery, bowling and basketball to power cruising and prop plane. Players can take part alone or with friends locally or online. Multiplayer may need separately sold accessories, and online features require Nintendo Switch Online.

Take a slower tour between competitions

Players can explore at three times of day, follow dolphins, search for hidden hibiscus flowers and collect Spocco Photos about island locations. For further competition, Island Crown offers progressively tougher opponents.

Check controller compatibility for the sport you want to play. Older Joy-Con still have a use, but that is not a promise of identical accessory requirements for every activity.
