He has some points, the reliance on the  Mario mascot being one of them. But. On consoles there have been 3 Mario Golf games counting this one. So it's hardly sweating that particular franchise. There have been maybe another 3 on handhelds. But that's since the N64 days. So that's well over 2 decades.

There is a topic of conversation he inadvertently stumbled on though that I find interesting. Why do games need to "move on" when they have been done more or less right from the start? Some games don't need it. Shiner graphics and new levels/tracks may well be enough.  For example - I'll cite Monkey Ball, Pilotwings and F-Zero.

I mean....it's fucking Golf. All it needs is great course design to "move on".

Wondering if he has actually played the game too to judge its quality. Mario Golf was outsourced from the start to Camelot -  the house that did Everybody's Golf - which was a solid move as far as I can tell.

Sounded like he was trying to be Bill Burr at certain points.

Shrug.

Thanks. Cancelled at £44 and reordered.

I'm so excited

Watching this on the Treehouse thing and I'm liking the look of the swing mechanic. Once you've set the power the bar starts from the bottom again and the snap is at the top.

When is this out?

So pay day winning? Whose starting the B and B tournament?

I'm going balls deep

GALF

Christ one less than the phoned in world
Tour?? Shit the bed

If World Tour was phoned in I'm happy to reverse charges for this. Or something.

Oh yeah. Scarlet Nexus is out. It’s looking good.

Friday night 8pm

Is it MP ready from teh get go? Or is it just tournmanents?

Looks like they may have ditched the 3 click swing. Someone has uploaded the tutorial section:



Doesn't look as bad as it sounds. Maybe.
