Nintendo revealed the full sports lineup for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, scheduled to launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 system on Oct. 22. Set on the popular destination of Wuhu Island, the new title introduces intuitive motion-controlled gameplay across 12 distinct events available for both solo and multiplayer competition, both locally and online. The active roster includes two brand-new additions: Thumb Wrestling, where players aim to pin opponents using a charging mechanic, and Skateboarding, which utilizes the Joy-Con 2 controller's mouse functionality to execute rail grinds, slides, and aerial tricks.

The game also brings back ten fan-favourite sports, updated for the new console hardware. Players can take to the water with Power Cruising, take to the skies in Prop Plane, or test their skills on land through Archery, Bowling, Table Tennis, Boxing, Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, and Golf. You can even use an in-game Jump Rope activity to warm up before jumping into competitive play. The Nintendo Switch Sports Resort's digital version retails for CA$69.99 in Canada and CA$84.99 for the physical variant.

Fujifilm debuts new Soft Haze instax Square Film

Alongside the launch of its new Instax Square 2 camera, Fujifilm has unveiled Soft Haze, a fresh variant of its square-format instant film that changes the photographic look rather than just altering the outer borders. Formulated with a newly developed film emulsion, Soft Haze produces photos with reduced saturation, lower contrast, glowing highlights, and warm, diffused shadows. Designed to deliver an authentic analog character that digital filters cannot replicate, the stock aims to capture emotive, naturally expressive images across a wide range of settings, including portraits, sunlit interiors, and travel landscapes.

Compatible with any camera or printer that shoots in the instax Square format, Soft Haze is set to launch at $18.99 per pack in the US. While it has not yet been featured on Fujifilm's official Canadian website, but we'll keep you posted for updates on local availability.
