Nintendo reveals plans for San Diego Comic-Con 2026

Nintendo has revealed its plans for San Diego Comic-Con 2026 and it includes first United States hands on with Nintendo Switch Sports Resort.

The Nintendo booth will be in full force at this convention. It will be located in Hall A – Booth #235 on the showroom floor. It’s going to feature Splatoon Raiders which will be launching that weekend (July 23 – 26).

Starting at 9:30 AM PT inside The Pointe in the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel, attendees can play Nintendo Switch Sports Resort there. It seems that Nintendo will not have it on the showroom floor like with Splatoon. To get hands on with the new Switch Sports game, it will be a first come/first serve queue where visitors can wait for the opportunity to try out the game.

Another unique opportunity Nintendo is hosting is that attendees can compete against The Rizzler in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. This will happen on July 23 between 1:30-3:30 PM PT in The Promenade at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel. Participants for this is going to be randomly selected by Nintendo event staff. There will be no prizes for this experience.

It looks like Nintendo will only have two games during San Diego Comic-Con weekend with Splatoon Raiders getting the decked out booth on the showroom floor.
