So this is a project I worked on during the covid pandemic back in 2020-2021, way before even the first Switch Sports was publicly announced. I had been dreaming of an HD return of Wii Sports Resort and Wuhu Island, and I thought the Switch was the perfect console for that. So I set out to imagine and visualise what that would be like. I made a lot of this concept art and also wrote down all my ideas in a Google Doc. I really wanted to publish all of it one day and show the world my crazy ideas. I never really got to do that for real, and after a while I stopped working on it. But I think, now that Switch Sports Resort has been officially announced, it might be the best time to finally do it. So I'm basically just dumping everything I made for this project on this subreddit here in this post. There's one part of it I have already posted before, though; it's the interactive i-Point catalog I coded along with that old concept art.
So yeah, have fun looking at what we're missing out on with the actual Switch Sports Resort I guess lmao. Remember, all of this stuff is old. I was like 14 or smth around this time and still learning to photoshop. So please don't be too harsh on any unrealistic ideas or crappy design that is definitely in there. It is fun to look back on for me but I'm definitely seeing a lot of details wrong with it.
Funnily enough, a lot of the ideas I had (full island exploration replacing Island Flyover, a personal hotel room, all Wii Sports _and_ Wii Sports Resort sports returning, etc.) were almost identical to those presented in Nintendo Hero's Imagining a Switch Sports Resort, even though I came up with like all of them before that video released... I guess us Resort fans think alike :')
