The Greatest Arcade Golf Game Ever Made Is Coming To Nintendo Switch This Week

Awesome! I actually played this game in Arcade halls back in the day! Fond memories.

This might actually be the first Neo Geo title I buy on the Switch!

Mine was Mario Golf on the N64 , but I can't say I've tried this one so maybe not!

So why did you give it 6 out of 10 when it released on Wii then?

So this is coming to the Wii U eShop?

Edit: Here's the official trailer from Hamster Corporation.

@Folderoll He did? Well.. that is kinda embarresing then.

Are there any switch games coming

Giggidy!

@Folderoll He didn't. Shocking that people have differences in opinion, eh? Review was by Corbie who didn't like the music or the announcer but had plenty of good stuff to say about it.

@Smegmapoo69 Nintendo Life did. Obviously opinions differ, but seems a wide gap.

@UK-Nintendo
Lol

I can't wait! This is a perfect quick fix game for the switch on the go.

I'm loving that all these Neo Geo games are coming to Switch.

I want to see the same kind of thing from Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, Konami, Namco, Atari, various old arcade game makers, etc.

If there is no proper Virtual Console on Switch then this would certainly be a great substitute, and maybe even be better it ultimately (if handled properly).

@aaronsullivan That is not the reason why this was brought up. Sure, people have different opinions but those people represent one collective Online Gaming Site so therefore they should be more careful about Reviews and or Articles. Imagine for Example that I would trust Nintendolife the most out of all review sites and buy my games based on their reviews. Then a game gets a garbage score so I will not buy it but then a few months or a year later I read an Article, that this particular game is now the greatest in its genre of all time I would lose Trust in this site immidiatly. Do you catch my drift?

@samuelvictor it's new news because we didn't know that it's releasing this week!

@impurekind Hamster do what Nintendo't

Great golf game! Wow Nintendo really really needs to get their ass moving with virtual console. More missed opportunities for them. N64 Mario Golf and Tennis playing on the go on Switch sounds pretty damn cool.

What is great about 21 years old retro golf game ? ... I don't get people sometimes

@peeks Gameplay, maybe?

@subpopz Please stop replying to my comments in future. I'm not interested in reading your dribble nor having my notifications flooded.

@peeks - Wow. Chess is pretty old too, but people still seem to enjoy it. Give either a try, you might gain some perspective.

Best golf game ever? Doubt it.

You'd have to do quite a bit to beat the actual best golf game, Mario Golf: World Tour.

Why not to make a collection on a physical card for Switch ?

Mario golf on GBC was better than this,but it does say best Arcade golf game so I guess that don't count

I really hope this isn't all we're getting this week.

This is a great game, and $7 is great impulse buy territory for a lot of people, unlike the thousands of dollars the MVS/AES cart or NGCD goes for.

That said, I'd really like it if we could get the full features of the NGCD release. Things like profiles, actually being able to play a full tournament, and plenty of extra game modes which aren't in any of the re-releases this game.

It's becoming a situation like Donkey Kong, where Nintendo is almost refusing to acknowledge the superior versions of a game which had more features and missing levels. Instead, we just keep getting the NES version again and again and again.

I'm not a sports game fan (save for a bit of Daley Thompson back in the day). Maybe this will work for me being more arcadey than serious sim. It's on the "maybe" pile.

Re: differening reviews and opinions. I like a wide spread of opinion even from the same gaming site. Good writers will back up their scores and from there, one can hopefully make a decision if the game is right for your tatstes or not.

Sweet! I've heard good things. I generally prefer arcade-style golf over simulation-style. If I really really really like Mario Golf (especially the GBA one), how does Neo Turf Masters compare?

personally im loving these neo geo releases, Ive never played this golf one so will definetly give this a spin!

Love this game. Will definitely pick it up.

Must buy! Now we need baseball stars 2, wwf wrestlefest, and run & gun 2 to cement the switch as the best console of all time! Yes, even ps2...

Best golf game ever made... 6/10
LOL

(I understand... Different opinions and all that but it's still amusing).

@Damo I did not say that this Game in particular was Garbage, I obviously was exaggerating to make my point clear.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Your obsession with Wii U is Too Much.
"Too Much of Something is Bad Enough..." (Too Much - Spice Girls)

I'm really really Bad when playing Golf video games. Still can't grasp the gameplay from determine the position to be taken based on Wind Factor, Grass type, Distance, Stick type, etc.

I owned this on my dedicated 4-slot MVS. I actually liked Top Player's Golf better though. I'd like to buy several of the Neo Geo games out on Switch, but would hate to and then have them releases a collection of games as a set for less.

Are we starting to get the impression that instead of a "Virtual Console" brand, retro games are just going to be released as stand-alone eShop titles, which is technically the same thing, just without the Virtual Console branding? It's nice that they flag these with the red logo to separate them from other games, it all goes together seamlessly.

@Anti-Matter He's not obsessed with WiiU, he's obsessed with hating Switch. Even though he intends to buy a Switch. Which makes no sense at all. Maybe it's just an internet role-playing thing?

Will be getting tons of games like this.....as soon I can find a switch here in North America

The only deal is this bundle that comes with the switch and zelda case, headphones, a guide, botw switch, dlc download code all for $460. This isn't bad because actually all of that stuff costs $465 without the bundle and considering you get all the stuff at retail price. I don't know if I should buy it...I wasn't going to get switch zelda in the first place and it says it will ship by March 31st. This will also leave me with like no other games.

No more Neo Geo for me.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Maybe it would be easier for you to take your complete negativity towards the Switch elsewhere?

"without putting too fine a point on it"

Don't know if it's intentional, but I like it.

@subpopz Holy hyperbole.

Definitely picking this up. Loved the Neo Geo and Neo Geo Pocket versions of this game. You cannot go wrong with 4 player local play. So good. Somebody bring those PC Engine game now

@Smegmapoo69 he did not different person different opinion of the game
I'm with Damien it is an amazing golf game

https://youtu.be/qLC15ca1I7o

It's that good huh?

Maybe I'll check it out then. I'm of the mind Mario Golf World Tour and Wii Sports Club Golf are the best golf games I've ever played, but one is motion sim and the other is crazy golf. This is just straight up arcade golf action.

Ya, I think I'll check it out

I was thinking about getting this on PS4.
@SuperKMx I still miss Pure Xbox. Hope everything thing is going well.

For a minute there I thought Sony were porting 'Everybody's Golf' from the Vita.

Please. We all know that Golden Tee is the greatest arcade golf game ever made.

@Amsterdamsters Learn to read. I didn't say anything about the Switch.

Thankfully not the only game as I feared as the Tomorrow Cooperation's trilogy gets added as well.

Though as far as America's update is concerned....

@SLIGEACH_EIRE The problem is that I've read way too many of your negative comments on this site about the Switch in forums relating to the Switch and/or it's games. If you don't like it or want one, then why are you here? My reply was in your response to not wanting someone else replying to your comment. If you're tired of people replying to your comments, then maybe you shouldn't be so negative.

NICE

A few more quality sports titles (retro or otherwise), and maybe I'll have to buy a Switch!

@SuperKMx in fairness, the author of this article did go on to state: "is one of the best golf games ever made (in our humble opinion, of course)."

Implying that more than this one individual at this site feels that way.

@samuelvictor but is samurai showdown, metal slug 1 and the other fighting games also coming to Switch? Because it was just hinted that they might but maybe I didn't understand it correctly.
I hope so because I'm loving these arcade version of neo geo and the like classics on my Switch. It feels nice! Then we're getting Street Fighter. If marvel vs Capcom comes to Switch ill be very happy.

Are you kidding me? Nobody makes a comment on the subtitle?

wtf

@samuelvictor

You realize no comment section here is ever family-friendly.

@Guspaz nope, Birdie King 3 is! XD

when it says 'released 23/3/17'.... and its still 'no available' today.... on the 23rd...

What time / date will it come available do you know? is there a standard time in the day that eShop releases come to the market??

thanks

Never got far into it in the arcades but had fun every single time, simply because I like golf games.

@wariosmith It's usually by 3pm CET/2pm GMT that the eShop gets updated.

@ThePoochyKid Yup. My sentiments exactly. That's like saying Crash Team Racing is the best cart racer ever! Umm...that would be a no.

@JaxonH all these comments and yours is the only mention of WSC Golf... the most under-appreciated game on WiiU... I'll never understand why so few play.. but admittedly I'm a little addicted... approaching 7000 wins online

have taken the leap of faith and downloaded Turf masters...

I must be missing something - it doesn't seem to let the Left and Right Joy-Con to be player 1 and 2, it just has them mirror the commands - ie both act as player one.... anyone else playing it and solved this??
thought that was the whole point of the Switch - play mini games with friends!!

thanks in advance

When I read the headline I thought this was going to be about Golden Tee... :/

Looks like I'm buying a Switch. I still play golf on Wii Sports Resort.

@CliveWinston . Would love to see you play some Wii Sports Club Golf online again. Myself(Daddy) and OldGuy still play (him way more than me anyway : )

hey man it's been forever... I ended up selling my WiiU collection... just wasn't the same without Miiverse to organize tourneys and converse with the regulars... was hoping it would come to Switch... was thinking of checking out the Mario golf that came out recently...
