Seven years ago Namco Bandai leapt aboard the Wii Sports bandwagon and released Go Vacation on the Nintendo Wii, much the same as games of that ilk, it was a collection of 50 mini-games for one to four players, played predominantly through split screen and utilising the unique Wii-mote controllers. At the time the game garnered average reviews, however it was praised for its open world across the four resorts upon the island you inhabited.
GamerKnights' reviewer Joe takes the new Nintendo Switch title "Go Vacation" for a test.

"Go Vacation sells itself as an island resort – or, four island resorts, even – packed to the brim with a variety of activities disguised as mini-games. Including the likes of golf, volleyball, inline skating, ATV stunt-fests, scuba diving, triathalons, pie-throwing contests and a whole load more (over fifty!) you really feel spoilt for choice when deciding what to do. Each resort is a hub world that you and three friends can explore on your own or together, coming across hidden treasures, out-of-the-way secret areas, vehicles to drive about in and ramps to stunt off of."
Rather than spend an exorbitant amount of money on a vacation, SuperPhillip Central spent a fraction of that for Bandai Namco's Go Vacation on the Nintendo Switch for its review. See why this activity collection is worth your time and money.
Go Vacation is a good reminder of how quantity doesn't always mean quality. There are a lot of mini-games available to play here, but not all of them offer a memorable experience. Motion controls implementation is also disappointing but the multiplayer is still fun if you can play it with friends.
