I messed around with the demo a little last night and it didn't blow me away as much as I was hoping it would. The aiming is just a little to... what's the word... complicated? While I was trying the "hit the ball through the rings and get par" challenge I was having the hardest time figuring out if I was going through the ring, and landing on a fairway, all while avoiding any objects in the world (a giant cactus!). I'm sure it's something that you get used to over time, but I remember it being very easy to see where you shot was going and what path it was taking in Toadstool Tour. Maybe my memory is just fuzzy, like when I could have sworn characters in the original Metal Gear Solid had mouths that moved. Anyway, I digress, at $30 this is going to be a no-brainer.
How do digital purchases end up working when it comes to Nintendo Club points? I usually end up saving them until I have enough to platinum and then enter them all at once. Do purchases on the e-shop even give you a code? If they do, does it instantly add it to your account or do you get an extended time to redeem them? I've already hit Platinum status this year and want to save the points for next year. If it ends up just automatically redeeming them I'll just grab a boxed copy.
I don't understand why anyone would play the same demo 10 times.
Because sometimes you only have 15 minutes to play a course, and there are a lot of courses to check out! Plus, if you're crazy (like me) and keep resetting your first shot until you get it perfect, your time-per-course extends dramatically...
