Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a colorful multiplayer game that has you compete in 12 different sports using motion controls. It comes out exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 tomorrow, October 22.
If you want to save $10 on a physical copy, today may be your last chance. That’s because both Amazon and Walmart are offering preorder discounts that drop the price of the physical edition down to the price of the digital edition.
Save $10 on Nintendo Switch Sports Resort
If you’re interested in the game, you should buy it today for $49.94 instead of the standard $59.99 that it will likely go back up to tomorrow once the game releases.
Alternatively, if you don’t own a Switch 2 yet, you can pick up the Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Bundle for $529.99 at Amazon, which saves you $20 off buying the items separately. Note that this bundle includes a digital copy of the game rather than a physical one. But it also comes with a three-month individual membership to Nintendo Switch Online.

The conceit of the game is that you and your friends are on an island getaway at the Spocco Resort. The idea is to compete in 12 different sports, all of which use motion controls via Joy-Con 2. This means you’ll likely have to get up off the couch and swing the controllers around to do things like hit the ball in a tennis match or swing a golf club.
The main question you might have is, is the game any good? According to our just-published Nintendo Switch Sports review, it is indeed good. Reviewer Jesse Vitelli gave it a score of 7/10, which means exactly “Good” on the official IGN scale, writing, “While the quality of its sports varies drastically, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a fun and playful collection overall that shines as the party game it’s meant to be.”
But again, the preorder discount Amazon and Walmart are offering on physical versions of the game are likely to go away once it’s out. And it’s out tomorrow, October 22. So grab it before then if you want to save $10.
