Poll: Mario Golf: Super Rush Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?

Probably not as i'm suck at playing golf video games and to see i neglected my Mario Golf 3DS, i don't even think this Mario Golf will be my appetite.

Nope, I'll wait until it gets all the updates and content it should have included when released.

I'll get the Tony Hawk games instead.

i am waiting, but only because i don't have the monies right now

Got it, played it, putting it on eBay later

Gonna be buying it on my birthday which is in a couple of weeks since it should be cheaper then.

Already downloaded, installed the day one update and I've played it for a few minutes. I will be playing it a lot more this weekend.

Was excited and day one purchase... before I read the reviews... the only mario game I don't own on the switch is mario tennis.. now it's got a friend... in mario golf that I just won't buy.

I like my golf games, but If it's going to have a similar free updates rollout as Mario Tennis Aces did, then I am just going to wait for a bit.
Got Aces at launch and felt it was barebones and dropped off quick, but loading it up around a year or so later it was alot more fleshed out. So maybe this will be the same.

Mario Strikers and Sluggers are the only Mario sports games I enjoy Golf is SOOOOO Boring

Just got mine in the morning. Can’t wait

The games intro cinematic is great

Having bought Mario Tennis, i will pass on Mario Golf. I liked Tennis, played it for hours, but i have not played it since, and so i don't think it was worth the price tag. The reviews of Golf make me think this game would be similar.

I am loving it so far! I really like the courses. They play really well and have a nice feeling about them, even the more standard courses. The controls are really nice. The new Speed Golf and Battle Golf modes are also really good. I am very happy with this purchase!

Was going to get this today, but couldn’t resist Hawk

We are just waiting on the postman, we pre ordered 2 copies do that we can play together in bed on our Lites - the Mrs loves Mario Golf.

I got it today but I wouldn't say I've been looking THAT much forward to it.

That said, playing it now, and I find it weird that you choose the ball spin on the first line that goes up. In previous games.. or at least on N64 and GameCube (I can't remember how it was on 3DS, barely played that one), you chose the spin when the line moved back to the start- or as it would be in this game, the second time the line goes up. I find that to be much better because you can adjust better for when you stop the first line a bit too far or short.

I'm sure players who've played the series know what I'm talking about. It just feels weird to me and is slightly off-putting. ..quite literally sometimes.

Sale for sure and during the cold months as well - not that I'd play regular golf in summer instead of this, but this looks like a nice pick-me-up for dreary winter days

Tony Hawk for me as well. I hope they'll do a free week for this one like they did with Aces. Otherwise, maybe on a sale.

One of those games where I’ll mooch off my friend’s copy and play multiplayer with him.

Been playing it for over a hour.you can tell by the menu screen there are going to be a ton of modes

@the_beaver I downloaded both lol why wait.well that's if you got the money and don't have to pick one.

Preordered it digitally a long time ago. Was super looking forward to it. But it turned out to be a letdown for me personally. Looks and feels more like a $30 game. Not a premium AAA price game.

Well … back to Tony Hawk.

Not only am I not very interested in golf games, but with the "poor" reviews it has received... double pass.

Unfortunately Camelot phones in their games now and after I canceled the pre-order, I will likely skip this generation of this series. Toadstool, 64 and the 3DS versions were my jam, but the best golf on Switch is Golf Story.

This Super rush nonsense is a waste of time and I'm not interested anymore. I would ideally like to play a long relaxing developed golf game in the mario universe. And I would prefer to play and level-up as those characters too, not Mii's.

I plan to get it, but this season is just too packed with releases. I'm in the middle of Sakuna and Story of Seasons Olive Town, I just got GBG yesterday and Disgaea 6 comes out this week, and I haven't even bought SMT3 or Raiden IV Mikado Remix yet. I honestly don't have time to play all the things I would like to, and Mario Golf just isn't a high priority.

@1UP_MARIO That WaveBird staring at me from behind it makes me want to play my cube again.

@the_beaver this is my thoughts! Why pay full price for a game lacking in content!

@Darkyoshi98 It's not (just) for the money, it's because I play mostly for the multiplayer (and it lacks depth), and because I don't want it to be another Mario Tennis Aces. It didn't feel complete until months later, and by then I lost all my interest in the game, and the online was empty. I hope it doesn't happen again. Anyway, I prefer to wait and see how it ends.

Mario Tennis was a really good game, but I hated what they did, and they're doing it again...

I will be getting Tony Hawks instead and maybe pick this up later on sale after the DLC is out.

The art style and courses look so bland compared to Toadstool Tour and sounds like they kind of made a party game at the expense of the golf game I hoped for... The reviews only confounded my fear that it might not be for me (and I LOVED the N64/NGC games) It also sounds like it's generally lacking in content.

The lack of fun Mario/DK esque courses is a big bummer for me. I decided to finally pick up world tour instead. I’ll wait to see what the updates do to Super Rush

@Shambo lol. It’s a pikmin machine

Bought Mario Golf 3DS on day One and I still have to try it.

So I'm probably not gonna buy this.

My copy has been delivered so is awaiting to be played tonight and over the weekend when I get the chance..
As others have said, my expectations are now tempered... I expect alot of updates to the game that would make it great to get once the updates/patches have been added in a few months...
I expect the day once experience to be good but not great... We will see..

Game looks great, I just fear golf is boring. Mario aces was dull.

Pre-ordered this and Tony Hawk, playing Tony Hawk now and will play Golf after, awesome day!

Boo to all of these golfing puns. They're about as great as a bogey.

In all seriousness, not a series I got into. I should probably try World Tour on 3DS as I have heard good things (not to mention, picked it up for really cheap a while ago), and see from there.

I've just received my copy and played a 18 hole game in the basic course.
Also started the story mode.
So far it's what I was expecting, I mean, I only played the N64 version and that was a brilliant game.
I feel that this one has a similar vibe with added extras.
I don't think it's a bad game, it does what it's meant to do in a fun way.
Perhaps, it might be missing some content but if it follows the same steps as the Tennis game, then, updates will arrive. Hopefully, these updates will arrive quickly and constantly so ppl don't lose interest in it.

Hope Nintendo is working on a football ("Soccer") game :/

@Reaast I want a new football/soccer game as the ones on gamecube and Wii were incredible!!

Sadly I do not see them doing this

It's always good to have a good Nintendo golf game to play. I like tennis aces and they updated that a lot after release so no reason to believe they won't do that with this game.

No, was holding out for LoZ:SSHD, but then played through game builder garage's demo. Probably buying that next.

I'd rather wait for the new Mario Party game. Even though I like the golf series. Tony Hawk 1+2 will definitely get more time from me than this game.

Not enough content or interesting ideas/mechanics for me to justify paying full price. Only really likely to consider it if I can find it at about £30 or less, which is what I do for pretty much all first party games I don't see being worth the full investment. Can usually scoop them up on eBay whenever after it launches so that's not an issue.

Can't justify the price to content ratio. If it was a 30 dollar game, yes it would be a day one purchase for me. But 60 dollars for 5 courses and an emphasis on a whacky multiple mode? Nah

After Mario Tennis Aces and Super Mario Party I feel I've learnt a lesson and won't be picking this up until all the updates are out and it's dropped in price a bit.

It just doesn't look very fun to me.

@HamatoYoshi Interested, waiting, buying it on eBay later.

You are very wise. Ebay is a sellers market. You can enjoy the game for a month or two, and then can sell it. You will have a seller’s fee to pay, but will get most of your money back.

@Tandy255 exactly, Switch games hold their value incredibly well. I paid £39 for it from Shopto so even with fees I should see around £32 back, it’s a small loss but I got to try the game out.

The indie golf games are surpassing the big boys. Almost definitely a pass.

Reviews gave me iffy - but I still want it

@HamatoYoshi Even if you wait for the DLC, it will be back in demand. Or just re-purchase it a second time and repeat the process.

Picking it up today after work.

If it was Super Mario Pro Stakeboarding then yeah... as its just golf, no.

I will be holding off for a while. I will probably end up playing my brother's copy because he likes the games more, and is better at them than me. I just enjoy some light golfing from time to time. I didn't even finish Golf Story, though I enjoyed what I played.

Toadstool tour was special, so hopefully this can replicate that experience.

Might try it when I both have a stable income and it goes on sale. Even still that's a "might" because Mario Tennis Aces sadly didn't impress me much.

I loved the Mario sports titles back when I was a kid/teen. Kinda sad that they just don't do it for me anymore. =(

Regardless, I wish all of the success to Camelot because I really want them to get back to the Golden Sun series.

It runs at a smooth 60 FPS. That's because the graphics are bland.

I would have given it a go but there just doesn't feel as though there is enough content. When you try to and please the single player and the multi players you sometimes please neither.

Nintendo's advertising seems to be selling it as a fun family game. Like most of its games this last year.

I also don't understand why they are holding back a chunk of the game just to give it to us for free at a later date. When it would help sell it now, and maybe it would look more like the game it should have been.

I was really excited about playing this, but the reviews have me second guessing now. I don't really have anyone to play mulitplayer with, and with the story mode seeming to be pretty lacking, I just don't know if I want to get it now.

@msvt "This Super rush nonsense is a waste of time and I'm not interested anymore. I would ideally like to play a long relaxing developed golf game in the mario universe. And I would prefer to play and level-up as those characters too, not Mii's."

Pretty much nailed it on all fronts there — at first glance I thought the game would basically be Everybody's Golf, but with Mario characters, which would be a match made in heaven. As it stands, the apparent over-reliance on special moves and gimmicks does put me off somewhat. I'm happy to wait and see what DLC comes out down the road, though.

Yep, preordered a while back and downloaded earlier this week. Haven’t played just yet. Kinda have a feeling it won’t measure up to World tour unless u have friends to play with, but it still looks cool.

I should have my copy later today. So I’ll play over the weekend.

I'm getting it as soon as i can afford to so payday next month.

@Reaast @Patendo I always wondered why they never made a striker (soccer) game to coincide with the World Cup. Thought that was pretty obvious cross promotion.

At some point. Money's tight, yo

got both this and tony hawk coming. Can't wait.

Now if I can get it and not loose my PreOrder pins then I am good.

Already downloaded my copy!

@Dethmunk I hate it when that happens but luckily I have good neighbours. Hope you catch it soon

I had it pre-ordered on Amazon, then I bought something else which happened to be sold by a small business. They had a promotion where if you bought something from a small business they gave you a £10 voucher for supporting them - but it had to be used on Prime day. So, I decided to cancel my Mario Golf pre-order and order it again on Prime day to use the voucher but it was out of stock, LOL!

If it gets discounted to around £20 I'll get it

I have it, but sadly, it released at the same time as Stories 2's demo...sooo....yeeeaaah.

@zool Social marketing, that's why. Nintendo has really doubled down their focus on viral social marketing to the point they actually design their games around the social marketing now. The drip feed of the basic content at a set pace keeps them in the headlines and keeps the game looking fresh and current, keeps people retweeting and talking about it, and keeps the media mentioning it over a year rather than release week and never again, which helps them justify their premium never-on-sale pricing model. Basically tapping in to the marketing assets of GaaS without actually embracing GaaS and all the costs an actual continuous service implies.

What it ultimately does is makes the first year of launch an early access beta. Rush launches June 25, 2022. Try it in early access today for $60.

The big story driven games are ok, but most of Nintendo's other games, there's really no reason to buy it in the first year anymore. They don't intend to fully release them before then. Splatoon and Smash are the exceptions because by nature it really is a GaaS with an evolving meta.

Insta-download for me

@NEStalgia well that is a reason, but I don't agree with it.

First, Nintendo games do go on sale, I agree there was a time to when they didn't, but they do now, a sign of the times, I guess.

Mario Golf is below what we expect from them, the scores show that. Nintendo tell us, when a game is delayed, how they are still working on it. Yet they release this Golf game which is clearly below what we expect and what they would expect us to expect from them. This smacks of them removing content from the game to sell to us later, but which they may reconsider charging when they see the poor scoring.

Nothing to do with Social Marketing.

@zool No, they already said pre-launch that the additional content would be free. It's the usual drip-feeding of the launch content over a year to feed the social marketing, through and through. That's been their M.O. for years now, unfortunately.

@NEStalgia yes, they know the games not up to standard, they knew this months ago, but needed to release it now and with an AAA price tag and only 6 courses. That is not good marketing.

Was originally going to get it on day one but decided to cancel to pick it up later down the line maybe via Target. I have Disgaea 6 to look forward to and also still doing my Ratchet & Clank series marathon as I'm now on the third game.

I was going to but your review talked me out of it.

PGA tour 2k21 was free on Xbox last weekend and I think that's probably spoilt it for me. Ended up buyin the 2k game for £16

Picked up my copy this morning along with Tony Hawk. My plans for the weekend are set.

It is really fun. Having a blast unlocking the courses! I only bought it to get the exclusive pins from GameStop. Having more fun than i thought.

I was going to skip "Mario Tennis Aces", but I picked it up after it did well at some big award shows, like winning Best Sports Game of the Year at D.I.C.E.

I would need some encouragement like that to change my mind here as well. Everything so far has been rather negative.

Haha! Clever little play on words there, NL. Nah, golf has never interested me.

I will play it eventually when Target or Gamestop has a sale for $40. In the meantime I am looking for a copy of the 3DS Mario Golf. If anyone wants to trade for it, I have a copy of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 I will trade

I pre-ordered it, and got it on Friday. Now, I never had a Game Cube, and never played the 3DS title. However, I adored the N64 classic, and consider it one of my favorite N64 games (along with GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, OOT, SM64 Wave Race, and all 3 Mario Party games).

I currently love this new one, and only have 2 complaints: the music being a bit bombastic, and not being able to pan the camera and zoom in farther. If they would fix the camera ... and use the music from the N64 game ... this would be a 10/10 title for me.

Currently it's an 8/10 (and the updates may make it a 9/10, but I'll wait and see).
