Support NeoGAF

[Chase17]

Looking forward to starting this tonight.

 

[whyman]

Downloading now. Switch is really getting a lot of use right now and this looks great.

 

[benjammin]

Any idea what the co-op is like in this one? Interested in picking this up for the wife and I if the co-op is good.

 

[jedmaxwell]

as posted on the previous page already.

Damnit! Thought I got a hole in one but the ball ends up in the rough.

It's just quick play golf tournaments. The story isn't co-op.

 

[th4tguy]

Where are people that they can go ahead and download?

 

[Ninja Dom]

Okay. Just downloaded this. Murder mystery? Interesting.

Shame you can’t redesign or choose the main character.

 

[Cerium]

Where are people that they can go ahead and download?

Eurobros.

 

[Ninja Dom]

Where are people that they can go ahead and download?

UK/Europe. Game went live at 2pm BST.

 

[superdeluxe]

Ha! Seems like a lot of people got Earthbound vibes. From back on page 1:

Jonneh? Described it that way on the gameXplain video

 

[Cerium]

Jonneh? Described it that way on the gameXplain video

It was actually someone else. So a widespread comparison it seems.

 

[krpiper]

I might off missed it but how big is the download?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Wondering about this too... I know you can redeem Wii U/3DS eShop codes at ec.nintendo.com/redeem and they will download after that, but I haven't figured out how to buy games via browser

You can buy games from Nintendo.com but they don't start to download until you wake your Switch.

When Reggie said "ask me in a year about Metroid and Mother 3"...

 

[reelbigtink]

Skimmed the Eurogamer article since I'm at work and didn't notice, but what's the length of this game? I want a nice 5-10 hour experience.

 

[TrutaS]

Reading good reviews, so I’ll purchase today to give support even if I’m still playing Steamworld.

 

[Midnight Believer]

Its £10.73 on the South African eShop if anybody else from UK needs to save a few quid.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Skimmed the Eurogamer article since I'm at work and didn't notice, but what's the length of this game? I want a nice 5-10 hour experience.

Someone reviewing the game earlier in this thread said they were currently 6 hours through and there was definitely more of the game left.

I'd guess 10 hours seems reasonable. Probably 20 if you do all the side quests/minigames.

Someone finished the first course of 8 in the game after 1 hour. Eurogamer said its length is generous. So I believe there is enough content there.

When I saw the trailers and screenshots I wasn't feeling the text bubbles. But after playing just a while I think they're great! The devs did a great job at making them convey emotion and intent. I love all the little animations like the bubbles getting bigger or the text getting smaller etc.

 

[th4tguy]

UK/Europe. Game went live at 2pm BST.

Ah no fair. Longest two hours of my life.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Isn't the switch region free?

 

[Robin64]

Isn't the switch region free?

Yeah but it can be a little bit of a faff that waiting two hours is fine instead.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Aw man it's still not up in the U.S! Fuck you Europe!! No fair!

I want to play this story of golf already ugggh. I can't handle the wait anymore.

 

[Champloo4]

I have never heard of this until this OT. Downloading this tonite.
Looks like pure joy.

 

[Axass]

That home icon is neat!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Aw man it's still not up in the U.S! Fuck you Europe!! No fair!

I want to play this story of golf already ugggh. I can't handle the wait anymore.

It'll be live in NA in just under two hours.

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Martin's review on Eurogamer has sold me on this. I was going to replay Mario Golf Advance Tour last year on Game Boy Micro but I never got round to doing so.

This, being a whole new Golf RPG, will do very nicely, especially after Everybody's Golf PS4 disappointed me with its increased emphasis on grinding and levelling.

 

[Raggytash]

I might off missed it but how big is the download?

892MB

 

[urfe]

Making a US account for this game... only to find out I need to wait two hours! Oh well, this and Stardew Valley will make it worth it.

 

[neoemonk]

I can't get this until I get home from work this evening, but I'm very excited.

My Switch is kind of taking over my gaming time. I still have Wii U and 3DS stuff to play!

My PS4 am cry

 

[Jacobson]

892MB

Damn, I already hit my data cap for this month. Luckily it resets on the 5th so it's just a week's wait for me.

 

[names2hard4you]

Haven't seen any talks about the length of this game. With FIFA already coming at the end of the week, I'd be a little more tempted to spend $21 if this was meaty enough that it would last me a while.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

It'll be live in NA in just under two hours.

Yeah I read that but dammit, fuck this region unlock shit! While my European bros are getting a head start I'll be over here in the states alone in my skivvies rubbing on my dong. It just ain't right.

 

[CharminUltra]

Bone app the teeth europe

 

[Robin64]

Yeah I read that but dammit, fuck this region unlock shit! While my European bros are getting a head start I'll be over here in the states alone in my skivvies rubbing on my dong. It just ain't right.

Chill, it's only because we literally live in the future.

Eurogamer calls the length "generous"

 

[names2hard4you]

Eurogamer calls the length "generous"

Yup indeed, but what does that even mean lol. I saw some folks saying they were about 6hrs in and still going strong, so it doesn't seem like just a 1 or 2 hour mini game. For sure there would be worse ways to spend the $21 but with FIFA costing me $80 already as is, I may have to sit back and let GAF devour this one and tell me whether or not the hype was real. There's too many games to keep up!

 

[ScientificPizza]

this game is good as hell

the font and the way the text boxes sometimes drop at an angle reminds me a lot of 8-bit Theatre tho

 

[Cerium]

this game is good as hell

I will never lie to you my friends.

 

[The Giant]

Loving this game. I miss the mario gold rpg.

 

[ScientificPizza]

also the dialogue is *extremely* australian

i wonder if it’ll be a putoff to anyone

 

[Shahadan]

"I read 1 audiobook a week, mate" lol

 

[kris.]

Ughhh i'm so weirdly excited for this.

 

[Shahadan]

Yeah I read that but dammit, fuck this region unlock shit! While my European bros are getting a head start I'll be over here in the states alone in my skivvies rubbing on my dong. It just ain't right.

Just have an account set to an european country *shrugs*

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Gotta wait till 1 EST I guess, what's weird is, inversus is up in the shop but nothing else.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

I have been excited for this game since the minute it was announced and don't even know why.

 

[deoee]

I don't even know what this game is

 

[Fireblend]

I don't even know what this game is

I mean, there's plenty of info in this thread's OP. I'd say that should be enough to at least have an idea.

 

[benjammin]

It's just quick play golf tournaments. The story isn't co-op.

Ah OK, I got my hopes up when there was talk about co-op early on. Still looks like there is plenty here to at least keep me busy. Thanks for the reply!
