Nintendo Switch Sports Resort customization: Item Center, Spocco Points and Favorite Looks

Nintendo's US store page lists Sportsmate and Mii characters as supported, and it says Spocco Points are earned online or offline. This page covers the Item Center, Favorite Looks and the cosmetic changes that reviewers describe before launch, so you know what to expect from Nintendo Switch Sports Resort customization when the game arrives on October 22, 2026.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort customization basics

Customization applies to the characters you use in the game. Nintendo's pages list Sportsmate and Mii characters as supported, and both sit inside the same Item Center system. The Item Center is where Spocco Points are spent on customization options. Pre-launch reviews call customization greatly improved. The sources do not list every customization option, so this page only covers what Nintendo and reviewers have named.

The Item Center and its collections

The Item Center has two item collections each week and themed items each month. Reviewers say the shop refreshes weekly with different collections, which matches Nintendo's description. The table below sums up the main Item Center rules.

Nintendo's pages do not give item prices or a full item list, so the sources do not show how many items a collection holds. For the earning rules, see the Spocco Points page.

Favorite Looks

Up to five Favorite Looks can be saved. Nintendo's US and UK pages name Favorite Looks as part of customization, and the pages checked do not describe any other limit on them.

Cosmetics and offline play

Two previews note that cosmetics can now be unlocked offline through Island Crown. Switch Sports required online play for cosmetics, so this is a change from the earlier game. Island Crown is the offline ladder where you climb ranks against CPU opponents, and it is also one of the sources for Spocco Points, since it earns customization options and Spocco Points. Offline play does not require a Nintendo Switch Online membership.

For the Island Crown side of unlocks, see the Island Crown guide.

Practical tips for Item Center shopping

• Check the Item Center each week, because the two collections refresh weekly.
• Watch for the themed items that arrive each month, since they are separate from the weekly collections.
• Earn Spocco Points offline through Island Crown if you play solo.
• Save looks you like as Favorite Looks, up to five.

Common customization mistakes

• Assuming cosmetics need online play. Two previews say cosmetics can be unlocked offline through Island Crown.
• Treating Favorite Looks as unlimited. Up to five can be saved.
• Confusing Spocco Photos with Spocco Points. Spocco Photos are collected in Sightseeing Tour, and the sources checked do not say they convert into points.

What the sources do not say

The sources do not give Spocco Point costs for items, the full item list, or the exact contents of each weekly collection. Nintendo's pages do not state a figure for these, so this page does not estimate them.
