Wii Sports Club: Golf Adds Resort Course as a Free Extra

I was actually going to download this game today. I'm glad to see the game get updated with the Resort courses!!! =)

These WiiU sports games should be "system sellers". Nintendo hasn't marketed these games enough, shocking I know. But everybody has played wii sports. Do those "casuals" know about the online features, new courses, updated mechanics and graphics? Nope.

Downloaded the trial when it was announced but not installed the dl yet so it doesn't activate the trial period. ( not sure if this is supposed to be possible or a loophole, did the same with Wii fit u and my 1 month free trial started despite being over for a new do trial!)
Guess I should give it a try but don't think I'll be buying a season pass unless it gets padded right out with content or reduced in price.

I think this is a step in the right direction. It would be great if they made new course holes available more. I think it would be great knowing that a title would add new content regularly. They could use the business model that Spin the Bottle uses. As you add more, early adopters get it for free, but the price slightly increases for new players.

I can consider getting it now then.

How I wish the price for each game was cheaper.. It's like the same Wii game with enhancement.. I wouldn't pay each for 10$. But maybe if each was 5-7$ I might rethink about it.

I'm happy to have a 3rd course. For $10 I got a golf game that I enjoy and to be honest, I'd pay for extra courses if they offered them as DLC. But free is better.

@shigulicious Nintendo does marketing!!!!! News to me

@fortius54 good call man, these games would be perfect for that model alongside optional dlc for mote options quicker. Would shut up the 'I'm not paying again for a old Wii game' crowd whilst giving fans more value and choice.

I hope they continue adding stuff from Wii Sports Resort to Wii Sports Club, especially other sports. Would be nice to have all of them in one collection....

I haven't used the free trial for this game. Perhaps I'll use it tonight and then use it again next week!

So we're sure about the "free" weekend - noon Friday to midnight Sunday - for people who have already had a "free" trial? The last time there was an alleged "free" trial it was apparently not for anybody who had used the free trials before. I know, I tried several times, then got lambasted on here for thinking I could get another free trial.

Nice, but cough baseball cough.

@shigulicious WS Club is a poor quality rehash, not a system seller. I won't even try out the "new" courses - I can already play them at no extra cost in Wii Sports Resort.

Sweet!

Golf club is the only game I've ever played where the video game is actually harder to play than the real thing!
Wii Sports Club is a weird beast. It gets rid rid of all the easy pick up and play of Wii Sports and adds shallow online and sometimes terrible controls (golf). I've been pretty disappointed in it .

@Mahe I disagree that it's poor quality but I don't think it's high enough quality to be a system seller. It should have been free like Wii Sports. Hopefully the fact they've added 9 holes to bowling and somehow improved the lag and matchmaking of tennis will mean the whole package might be made worthy of being a full price game by the time baseball and boxing are released.

Yay! I already own Golf so this is a nice surprise. Thanks Nintendo!

@Captain_Gonru EA could either port the next Tiger Woods or just port an old one with Wii U controls and a couple of gamepad features. I know they hate Nintendo but they're refusing to make a game that would be easy for them. I'll have to buy the new golf when I reach level 10* on tennis

have both on the Wii. ill pass

@Nintenjoe64

"Hopefully the fact they've added 9 holes to bowling" LOL

But I agree with you. You can have a lot more replay value on this than in the Wii games since it has online.

I still need to get the Golf one.... I got tennis and bowling.

Isn't a course in golf 18 holes...wait I read up, it can be 9 holes too.

It is great these are added but shouldn't they have been present in the first place. It would be like saying they've updated bowling to add Motion+ support.

I still haven't downloaded any of these sports games yet.

@Captain_Gonru It actually does. I'm a hard hitter who draws the ball and when I make a mistake it's 90% hooks. But in this game I'm constantly slicing the ball. After a few holes in the free trial I just stopped taking it seriously to prevent altering my actual swing. Just treat it as a game and not a real sport

I did enjoy Golf more than Bowling and Tennis during the last free trial... With 27 holes, this seems to be worth twice as much as what they're charging. I think it's time for me to buy it.
Also, I hope they keep it up with the surprise announcements. Maybe later down the line, we'll see the course from the first Wii Sports Game added in... I kinda hope we get Baseball before that happens, though.

Well this is cool. I hope they release a sequel to Wii sports resort as It was one of the best games on the Wii. This sequel would have online and it be cool if you could walk, bike, or even drive around the island.

@Captain_Gonru Not to bash Nintendo but this is just another "game" they make. Nintendo does not have the technological know how on how to actually measure a swing/face position/stance position and how they affect the ball-spin etc in order to simulate a more realistic golf game.

Not saying this game is bad, this game is fantastic and very enjoyable. But I wouldn't treat it as a learning tool...which it was not designed to be.

If I really want to improve my swing or my game, the driving range and practice green is a better idea imo....

@shigulicious
I agree totally. It's a wasted effort. And it's too bad, as the golf one is awesome.

there is nothing wrong with the controls.. whoever says so, well, you just suck at it.. nuff said.. I love this news!!

This is awesome!!! Not only do we have the classic course from Wii Sports, the game also included the course from the original NES Golf, and now we get the course from Wii Sports Resort! And for free!

People sure love to hate Nintendo for all kinds of reasons, but this is why I love them. And the Wii Sports Club Golf is REALLY friggin good too- one of my favorite games on the system as a matter of fact. It's just, it's flawless. It's how golf is meant to be played digitally- I absolutely love it. Well, time to hit the green, then back to time trials in DKC!!!

I loved Wii Sports so this new version has all Wii Sports was missing, why not buy this?? nintendo need to release the bundle that is comming to japan here in america and europe to boost sales in the casual market!!

Pretty cool now I wan to dig out Wii sport resort I forgot how fun that bugger is. Maybe they will redo that some day. I thought shooting hoops was fun.

Golf is my favourite sport in the game. And that course is also my favourite now. The castle on the background and the shore are nice additions.

Are we sure @JaxonH isn't actually a Nintendo PR rep undercover?

@gatorboi352

Just a guy who loves to play video games, you should try it sometime

@gatorboi352: Yes, we're sure.

So, they added the WuHu courses and it allowed them to bump their game back up to the 1st spot on Miiverse? Why doesn't every game get this treatment with DLC lol
