I enjoy this game a lot, and I get the play on words with the title, but it's an extremely horrible game title. Clap Hanz needs to get more creative with their golf game titles.
I tried it in Switch 2 in handheld mode. It stutters in places. There's so much going on on the screen at once, so maybe that's the reason, and I found this distracting. To me the cars have a floaty feel, as if they are not on the ground but on smooth ice, if that makes sense.
A lot of the cases I've seen have this zipper placement which could cause this. Just wrapper the zipper in a foam product, or packing material, or tape, or something.
I'm enjoying it very much. I don't feel stressed while driving, it's exciting discovering new areas you've never visited, the challenges are fun, and I love jumping in the backs of trucks and smashing things. Take a ride on a boat, and enjoy the scenery!
The upcoming Switch 2 screen is not OLED, correct? I will wait for this version. I enjoy it so much better than the original Switch that it's worth the wait since I can't afford both.
This console launch is so complicated. I long for the old days of a new console purchase, when you just casually walked into a store, bought it, and left.
It's just weird that Nintendo doesn't want to reveal this information. It helps bring excitement, helps with upcoming sales, gives credit where credit is due, and shows that they care about developers and not just selling games.
@beartown I completely agree with you about Balatro.I bought it, and the gameplay was just ok for me. I wasn't wowed by the presentation either. The look of the interface was not appealing.
I got several of the games for free using my points, and I even bought a few for $0.20 each. Sometimes I am in the mood for silly time-wasting games when you don't have to think so much.
This would have been a great opportunity to release a custom joycon with a paddle controller.
Remember way back when the Switch was going to be released, and many people showed designs for different custom controllers with different types of control knobs/buttons? A trackball...a spinner...sadly, it never happened.
In store only, it says. So you can go buy your already opened game box with stickers all over claiming it is new, and when you try to remove the stickers, it rips your plastic case. That's the typical Gamestop procedure.
This game is under appreciated. It's fantastic. If you enjoy the top-down Zelda games, you will love this. Yes, it may not have a lot of new ideas, but it's just plain fun. Discovering new items and weapons is rewarding, the pixel art is great, the character movement and control is perfect. I highly recommend it.

Re: Donkey Kong: Bananza, A New 3D DK Adventure, Is Confirmed For Switch 2
At the beginning of the trailer, I thought the game was going to be called Donkey Kong Destroys the World.
Re: Check Out Donkey Kong Bananza's Beautiful Switch 2 Box Art
I'd like to see a special edition yellow Switch 2 console with this game packed in.
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
Maybe they could cut $5 off the physical games by making the game cases smaller. The game cards are so small.
