Do we know what time it unlocks on the shop?

For the North American eShop it will be when the store usually updates on Thursday, at noon Eastern Standard Time (EST).

Hmm, should I buy this or Ruiner? Best of first 3 replies gets it

This is cheaper, both look good. Depends on your mood really, Golf Story seems to be a lighter, happier game, Ruiner is dark and grim.

 

[Twilight Princess]

It’s already the 28th in Australia, why isnt it out?

 

[J@hranimo]

Can you customize your character in this or do you have to play as the white dude with brown hair?

That's a good question. I get the impression this dude is an actual character in this....story.

 

[DirtyLarry]

This may seem like a super dumb question, as I have been following this game some for sure, but is this game mostly a Golf game? Or more of an adventure game with some Golf? Or do we just not know yet? Cause I still myself am not sure based on what I have seen.

It's an RPG where most of the actions involve hitting a golf ball with a club.

I see what you did there.

Used that 10% PayPal deal to get a $50 card... will be using part of that for this.

I wasn't even aware of this deal. Thank you!

Thanks for this, just grabbed one for Golf Story and Picross S!

Because vs Mario was due out on the 27th and only came out overnight... indie games seem to happen when ever they please. I've noticed some happen a day late

 

[KevMan1815]

The same two games I'm planning on! If this keeps up I'll have more games on Switch than PS4.

Its been 28th here in NZ for 11 hours now. Release dates mean nothing here, the whole world waits for US (most of the time)

Edit: In this case the release date on the store page says 29th for me.

Golf Story is bought, but I just checked ruined and it looks crazy

 

[DirtyLarry]

Yeah, that is what is throwing me off. Like I am not sure if one can just play Golf if they want like a Mario Golf, Everybody's Golf, etc.
Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Nice. Thanks for sharing this. Just added some funds to my Wallet.

Thanks for this! Gonna need it this week especially if Stardew hits hahaha

 

[nick_b]

Thanks for that PayPal deal! That should cover Golf Story, Picross, and Stardew with some leftovers.

 

[oatmeal]

When does that PayPal deal end?

 

[AHappyPanda]

So are there any legit impressions about the actual golf mechanics?

Myself and at least one other poster noticed how....flat the golf gameplay is. It looks like a step down, even from Mario Golf on GBC.

Every stroke is basically the same, whether you're driving, chipping, or putting, the mechanic or strategy never changes. There's no green to read from what I could tell. No elevation to read, etc.

Anyone with more hands-on impressions?

[Belgian Dude]

I want to buy this game, I really do, but the price just seems out of my range. I had some rough times a while back because I had a wrong approach on saving money, and I'm not out of the woods yet, sadly. Par for the course, I guess. When my bank account gets back in the green and I iron out these kinks, maybe I'll leave this bunker I'm staying in and buy this game. I even asked dad for some money to buy it, but he wouldn't budge, and I'm afraid I'm driving a wedge between us. We're both hard-headed like that, and everyone says I'm a chip off the old block.

Even my friend, Ross, is saying I should save money for a while, and it's making me so mad my spine twisted upon itself and my back spins. AlbeitRoss usually knows what he's talking about. But really, not having this game is putting me in a bad mood, and soon I'll have one too many strokes, get paranoid, and start thinking there's a bogey in my tail. I'm already sputtering like a dying putt-putt.

Life just isn't fairway, man. no matter how you slice it, and without this game I feel like I'm about to fade. Now if you'll excuse me, my tee is ready - and that should make me chipper. I need to calm down before I do anything illeagle and they throw me in the caddie wagon.

Ah, dang! Was willing to stay up late tonight for some sweet midnight-release.

None for Canadians

 

[The Giant]

Can't wait to see if this game has aussie humour. Just to see how confused USA gaf will get.

It's already the 28th in Australia, why isnt it out?

The eshop updates at 11pm. Just like the Wii, Wii U and 3DS.

So this is definitely an Aussie made game? I will buy it as soon as I can regardless then, seeing as I want to support the Aussie games industry as much as possible.

Helps that it sounds amazing too.
