Review Mario Golf: World Tour (3DS)
Hard to putt down
For a slightly out of shape plumber that very rarely seems to do any actual plumbing, Mario sure enjoys plenty of different sports. It remains an integral part of Nintendo's delightfully quirky games catalogue for its mascot and the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom to meet up for various extra-curricular activities, and golf is a...

Preview Mario Golf: World Tour
Swinging to the fore
Mario Golf: World Tour has had an odd history to date. Announced in early 2013 for a "Summer" release, it was quietly pushed back to later in the year before drifting into 2014 with little attention going its way; perhaps distracted by the sheer range of hot releases on 3DS throughout the year and the ongoing issues and talking...

Just awesome. Purely awsome
the goomba in the background is gigantic
I yet ponder about the roster in this game. Hope it's good!
Hmmm, I don't know about this title... Looks great, but I wonder if it had that special ''Mario'' content so it would be more than just golf...
which one Mario tennis open or Mario golf .......BOTH
Metal Mario anyone?
Whoa. Never realized that this game got delayed into 2014, and you know what? GOOD. In 2012, we got smashed in the rear with Mario games galore and it came back to haunt Nintendo and the Wii U launch. With Super Mario 3D World being the Wii U's biggest game this holiday, it's crucial people get a break from Mario before his next adventure hits. I was worried people would get exhausted with Dream Team, Mario Kart, Mario Golf, and Mario Party, but with Mario Kart 8 AND Mario Golf World Tour launching next year, it should give Mario the proper level of games needed to keep people from being "Marioed" out when 3D World hits. With Mario being my favorite franchise, I am happy to see this. Nintendo's finally coming out with a varied lineup for both 3DS AND Wii U so I think we should actually appreciate having one less Mario game to risk oversaturating the brand!
And also, with this delay, maybe Camelot will take time to add RPG elements like they SHOULD have with Mario Tennis Open!
@NintendoPro64 I seriously hope they don't add RPG elements to this. They had some in Mario Tennis Open. There should be none whatsoever just a roster of balanced characters. Best player wins. (Rather not even have custom characters if they have any advantage whatsoever over the standard ones).
Having to grind to get the kit pieces is exactly the type of thing I think of as RPG elements. I don't want my character to get better I want me to get better at playing the game to progress.
as long as the online is stable and doesnt kick everyone when someone quits i think this game will be fine, especially with the tournaments, imagine how bad it could be, the host quits and the entire tournament is over because one jerk missed a put
I do love a good golf game. I don't play in real life, although I do LOVE golf courses. They are beautiful in nature. The trees are protected. One big plus for the rich ... but I'm not rich. I have to spend my money wisely. That's why I'm a games player. It's such GREAT value. You could waste £50 on a night out for instance. The game, however, will keep ya going for months. But what I wanted to say about this game was, in my experience of Nintendo games, I knew it would be a well made game. Maybe more precise in physics than some simulations! ... But it's also fun .............................................. oh, if a night out is a night of romance, then gaming takes 2nd place, the games will still be there another night ... it's a win win win situation
