Mario Golf Super Rush

[Strafe]

Famitsu have given it 33/40, which basically means fuck all.

 

I’ll wait for other reviews before committing. Mario Tennis Aces, made by the same developer, wasn’t that great - too many specials and meters and stuff and millisecond timings on special shots and stuff getting in the way of the fun.

[Marlew]

I found the tennis game fundamentally pretty good, but the special shot stuff broke the momentum and appeal for me. It became all about meter management which I found quite dull. 

[Strafe]

I wonder when the review embargo is up. It’s usually Tuesday before release for Nintendo published stuff, I thought.

Only two more sleeps! 

[Mr Majestyk]

Or maybe 1 if boss deals ships early!!!!

Just had a look at my order with them and it reckons the game estimated deliver will be between Saturday and Monday for me.

Where's the best price on this currently, does anyone know?

Some French gameplay footage - probably uploaded too early for Nintendo’s liking.

 

 

[Tomdominer]

Man, that mode where everyone plays at the same time, you chase the ball and collect coins between shots looks like an absolute riot!

[Strafe]

Still no reviews other than famitsu.

[Gotters]

Suoer late review embargoes are always a sign of quality

[Stoppy2000]

Does anyone know when the embargo is?

Gonna guess it’s tomorrow 2/3pm. Ninty published games usually come earlier than the day before.

 

I reckon it’s gonna average 80 on a bit below metacritic. I’m working on the basis that it’s going to be better than Mario tennis aces but not much better.

Review embargo lifts at 3pm BST today:

So tomorrow I've got this, MH Stories 2 demo and Neo:TWEWY demo as well. 

 

[Gotters]

3pm the day before launch for the embargo to lift.

 

I'm definitely hanging on to see what they say as you have to put the Nintendo filter on and even if it averages 70% or so you can easily take 10-20% off that.

It's Mario Golf - you know what you're going to get.  It's a pretty consistently solid 7/10 give or take a point depending on how much you like Mario characters.

 

My son is extremely excited about it, and we'll be taking it with us on holiday for some quality and easy two player fun in the caravan when it's raining.

I thought Nintendo/Switch Exclusive reviews were always close to release date these days? Didn't this happen for Rise?

 

EDIT: 23rd march with 26th release. More digging required.

 

Mario Aces was 20th to its 22nd June release date. Well from what I can tell.

[gossi the dog]

I’m expecting it to be great. The core golf game has always been good, add in an RPG mode similar to the classic GBC and GBA releases and we’re golden.

[skittles]

I have it digitally downloaded and am waiting to play.. was hoping tonight but no idea on release time over here. Region is set to Aus

[the_debaser]

Thought this was playable today. Oh well. I have it downloaded and ready to go. Hopefully the story mode is as good as the old GBC game. 

[moosegrinder]

Embargo up about 3pm ish

 

 

[Pug]

After the tennis game I'm waiting for forum views before buying.

[Quest]

The online tournaments in Tennis Aces were fantastic, and our game night crew played local multiplayer for months. If this is half as good I'll be happy. 

 

Music was shite, though. 

[BitterToad]

IGN 6. Says the adventure mode is a shiter and there aren't that many courses. 

[moosegrinder]

Reviews are popping up on Twitter. 74 on Metacritic so far

[iloverage]

Aye, reviewing as expected. Sounds like a fun time to be had. Good stuff.

[QuackQuack]

The bad reviews seem to complain about the adventure mode but praise the actual golf.

 

So... that’s okay!

[BabelRich]

Damn! Did they not learn from the reaction to Tennis's lacklustre campaign.
