We'll never make par at this rate.

Doubling as an impressions thread since we didn't get any real gameplay until the last few days.

The thirst is real

And the game is great

 

[luulubuu]

Doesn’t bother me tbh.

What about the MP though?

Does it have a MP or not?

 

[ScientificPizza]

Does it have a MP or not?

It has local MP

We must make it to Hole 18 before sunsetrise!

Better boogie

 

[luulubuu]

Still cool but

I’ve been wallowing at the 19th for months

 

[Cerium]

I'm not sure when was the last time I saw this much excitement for an unreleased indie.

Snake Pass maybe. Let me check.

edit: Nope not even Snake Pass got this far before launch.

 

[ScientificPizza]

I’m going to have a three hour nap so i can wake up in a world where this game is out

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Watched one of the Switchforce guys on YouTube play the first part of the game, it looks so good. Everybody's Golf mixed with a classic top down RPG is a winner in my book.

Indie games are what Nintendo fans look forward to the most.

 

[JJShadow]

Ok GAF, I didn't want to but I got caught in the hype. I'm already buying Picross and FIFA this week, and now I have to buy this as well. Getting 3 Switch games in a week, what were you thinking Nintendo! Stop releasing so many games, damn

Nah mate, we just like golf.

 

[Nbz]

What time does the eshop usually update? I'm UK btw

 

[JustenP88]

The font is my favorite part of this game.

To be honest, they are just starved for games.

Feel bad for the indie devs who have to sift through this pointless deligitmization shit in response to their success.

C'mon, we gotta drop this narrative.

This isn't the Wii U dark ages.

 

[Oddduck]

Are we really that starved?

We've been getting a big Nintendo published game (almost) every month.

 

[Kouriozan]

Indie games are what Nintendo fans look forward to the most.

That's what happen when Nintendo prevent Camelot to make great games again.

 

[Soule]

To be honest, they are just starved for games.

I think there's a lot of people starving for a good Golf RPG, so sad they never continued the gameboy series.

 

[NotLiquid]

C'mon, we gotta drop this narrative.

This isn't the Wii U dark ages.

Pretty sure they're meme-ing

 

[dreamfall]

Wait we can’t customize the main character?! Whyyyyy.

 

[jariw]

Since Nintendo basically uses the indie "focus-on-game-mechanics-instead-of-cut-scenes" philosophy in many of their own games, sure.

 

[Phife Dawg]

Yeah you guys are really bad at detecting sarcasm. I even posted in this thread before that I have too many games on Switch, lol.

 

[Cerium]

Indies are filling old Nintendo niches.

Golf Story for the Camelot games.
Wargroove for Advance Wars.

 

[Oddduck]

Hey, sometimes it's difficult to tell on GAF, lol.

Anyways, I'm pretty excited for this game. I was sold on it after watching Patrick Klepek play it during his stream.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

And yet you hunger for more.

 

[pswii60]

Because Switch has no other games*




*May not be factually correct

 

[purseowner]

Indies are filling old Nintendo niches.

Golf Story for the Camelot games.
Wargroove for Advance Wars.

Fast RMX for F-Zero.
Kamiko for 2D Zelda.
Steamworld Dig 2 for 2D Metroid.

lol. There are too many to have time for at the moment.

It's a good thing. Those who (I'm assuming) grew up and play those games just became game developers and decided to fill that niche themselves.

I never got to play the Sports-RPG games on Gameboy so with Golf Story I'll get to see what the hype is about

 

[nilay]

Why hasn't Camelot developed a golf rpg yet,I think they could make an awesome golf rpg based on their history

Pretty sure they made all the mario golf games which had rpg elements

Cross-posting my graph regarding Switch releases, from the eShop thread.

Number of Switch game releases since March (North America, but should be pretty similar for Europe):

And things seem to point towards October might beat September in number of releases.

 

[Phife Dawg]

And yet you hunger for more.

They are so delicious!

 

[Belgian Dude]

Puns
That's it.
Literally.
And it's glorious.

 

[Jacobson]

just think of it like zelda where you play as link.

 

[th4tguy]

Just got up. Game still isn't out. What happened to midnight release??

 

[Flowmoney]

I thought we played Zelda in Zelda games?

 

[Cerium]

That's only for first parties.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

Guys why so much talk about the font in the game. There are way more pressing issues

Spoiler

such as the Home screen icon.

 

[J@hranimo]

12pm EDT/9am CDT PDT today.

So about 5 more hours.

Don't worry, it isn't a giant picture of a Golf ball with no title:

 

[wrowa]

Sonic Mania got a midnight release as well, at least in Europe.

Here:

First time I’m seeing the Steamworld icon. Holy moly, that one is a new low.

 

[Adam Prime]

Here:

That Dig 2 icon is the WORST. Why did they even release it with that? And how long does it take for them to send an update to have it changed...? Ungh, I hate it.

Don't you bring that nonsense in here. This is a place for golf puns, not petty gripes putting grips.
