Go Vacation is fast approaching, so it's time to get in the mood for a good holiday with a new video that shows off the game's impressive 50+ events. With up to three other players you can do practically every pastime known to man, ranging from surfing and skydiving to off-road racing and golf.
With a whole island to explore, you can take photos of local wildlife one second and go skateboarding around a park the next. It's pretty eclectic to say the least and it's already got us hankering for a week off in the sun! Check out the overview trailer below.
Go Vacation arrives on 27th July. What do you make of Go Vacation's vast world of activities? Share your thoughts in the comments section below...

Yay... Mii !!
Btw, i had observed the trailer quickly.
I found.... the Trees / grass / plants rendering are still like Folded paper, but still much better than Wii version.
The game looks fun but the graphics look very outdated. I might pick this up in the bargain bin someday.
Love the concept, but fear the gameplay will be very meh. Need a review!
I'm really curious about this game.I loved playing Wii Sports back in the day but that was the only multiplayer game I can remember playing.This one looks like a lot of fun with tons of content but is it online multiplayer as well as co-op?And can everything be played single player?
Will definitely be keeping an eye out for the review.
@justin233 That's because it's a retextured wii game with some new assets and modes.
@link3710 I know. It could use some more work.
Really want to like this.... seems nice and varied but its bound to be awful.
I had fun with this back on the Wii, but I really wish they put a bit more effort into this port. The visuals are so dated and it appears they didn’t even bother to update any of the assets. They just upped the resolution and called it a day.
Hate to admit that looks fun to play with my kids. Still, will wait for the reviews and a discounted price.
It's fun but it just looks flat and dull.
Ever heard of a normal map!? They don't take much effort!
Maybe if it supports online multiplayer
Nintendo Life did not like the original.

Maybe they have ironed out the issues the original had. I remember despite its flaws the game store I worked at could hardly keep Go Vacation in stock.
Looks like an Animal Crossing (house and furniture) game meets a sports game. Sounds very interesting. 👍😃
Looks fun! I will probably get it just to play alone.
That looks horrid 😅 they spending like 2 sec on this port and charging $50 bucks.
Good thing there is Flipping Death a few days later
@idrawrobots Cheers for the link....hmmm,well that review just dampened my enthusiasm somewhat! Maybe it will be better for Switch...
I still have my copy of Wii Sports Resort.
This game is a part of my life so I'm overjoyed to see it returning with new features to boot!
Wii sports?!? Could be interesting
The price is too high for what you're getting but guess we'll see how well the game sells.
@Hikingguy What's new in the Switch version (that we know so far) is there Marine & Mountain fishing with over 30 species of fish,
over 40 types of animals to photograph and store in your in-game photo collection, and you can find boxes filled with rewards dropped by a plane.
My kids still play the Wii version regularly, so I feel like I know this game inside and out. I'd love more info on what's new.
Looking at the brief 4 player parts of the video it appears that they may still be turning off all NPCs when playing multiplayer, but I'm hoping not. That always made the world feel rather empty.
It's be great if you could play events without everyone playing the event though I recognize that's probably a technical impossibility.
Well, if we're gonna compare this game with Wii Sports Resort, then we might as well give that a bit of a closer look...
People that liked Wii Sports Resort should, by all rights, LOVE this game, since it's much better than that. Where Wii Sports Resort just offers a menu screen on which you can select a bunch of mini games, it's not a connected world at all.
Go Vacation however, offers an actual group of islands that your character can physically travel around in to go to other events and areas, and you even get to create and interior-design your own living space there.
On top of that, it has WAY more activities than there are in Wii Sports Resort, and the whole vibe of the game, and the way it is constructed, really makes it feel like you take your selected character(s) on an actual holiday, instead of just playing a bunch of otherwise completely disconnected mini games.
Because that's the case, the game also offers options where there isn't any pressure of having to win, such as is more common in Wii Sports Resort (and in other sports related games), meaning for example that you can just choose to spend some time strolling, driving or riding around on a horse, to discover the various parts of the islands, or you can do some relaxing scuba diving (which also includes an option to search for treasure chests, if you still want to make something competitive of it... ).
The home building/interior designing has a bit of an Animal Crossing vibe, and then there's of course the quite elaborate player customization options, also something not present in Wii Sports Resort, all of which means that in a direct comparison, Wii Sports Resort is actually quite bare bones...
So, all in all: more mini games, more variety in activities, some competitive and some just relaxing, customization options, real time island travel, and each island is different, so you can go from the beach to snow-peaked mountains, and from a city environment to the woods, so it should at the very least offer a couple of interesting activities for most people.
@ThanosReXXX so looking forward to this. Loved Wii Sports Resort and spent so many hours playing so many different activities. This 30 yr old kid is ready for a digital vacation 😁
@Alikan Well, in that case, I certainly think you're gonna enjoy this one as well. Not every activity in it is great or good, but there's so many of them, that you're bound to find some favorites that you'll keep coming back to.
They added Mii!! YAS!!
Sice the Wii version, this game is in my favorite's list, and obvious, this version for Switch is in my wish list!! XD
Sitting around having cocktails with ladies looks like a good time. Do you HAVE to play the athletic events?
@Burning_Spear
You Have to play All the Events ONCE in order to get stamps. The amount of the stamps will open the new resort. Complete All stamps to get your own villa.
Wii Sports as awesome but considering this game comes out in less than a month and nobody has done a single hands on preview I expect this to flop hard and be riddled with issues and glitches. I hope I'm wrong and it's just as fun as Wii Sports and Sports Resorts was.
@justin233 Funny, as an old school gamer, graphics no matter how "outdated" never bother me. Game does look fun though,
i never had a wii so to my eyes this looks like a lot of fun and when my wife saw this she said its a must buy. my wife and i will be buying a copy each and battling it out. the open world and house deco all looks fun too. we both cant wait to play this.
Updated info: Go Vacation!
Download size = 8.8 GB
Gosh....!
Even bigger than LEGO CITY Undercover Switch version.
Compared with Go Vacation Wii version = 4.3 GB on DVD.
I hope with bigger GB = Good rendering of the trees, furnitures details, fixed 30 fps, etc.
I saw from the trailer a snowy pine tree leaves are "moving" by naturally. That indicated some huge changes for trees rendering.
I'll get this if the price is right
cant wait till friday
