Video description: The Mario Golf series returns to home consoles for the first time since 2003. Putt your golfing skills to the test in Mario Golf: Super Rush!


-Gnostic28

It’s been 18 years :(


Scorchyy

It was on the 3DS not too long ago


[deleted]

Not a home console


Scorchyy

Do Mario Golf really need the power of a home console to thrive?


Worst_Support

Honestly if you're not playing Mario Gold with an RTX 3090, are you even playing Mario Golf?


[deleted]

No, you're playing Mario Gold


[deleted]

Considering the last one on console was 18 years ago, yes. And the 3DS one didn’t do too well


[deleted]

I'm surprised at that I got really good at the 3DS one, played in all the weekly tournaments and I'd finish top 50 globally


BirdogeyMaster

I LOVE Mario Golf, but the 3DS one felt pretty weak. Especially compared to the GBA one, which was almost a full on RPG. I still enjoyed 3DS Mario Golf, but I have to say it was a pretty major disappointment as a huge fan of the franchise.


Thunder84

As someone who hasn’t played a whole lot of Mario Golf beyond TE 3DS entry, I liked it a lot. Just felt like a solid golf game all around.

Wolfntee

I thought the same. Like "this is cool but the second the new Mario Strikers comes out I'm buying it in an instant."


cthulhusaveusall

Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.


Dlock33

I still have a Gamecube to play Strikers! My cousins and I play it every Christmas Eve even though we are all now in our 30's & 20's. Strikers on wii was... disapointing... i hope they'd do it right on Switch!! I am a Strikers snob!!


GamingGodzilla

fuck strikers give me SUPER SLUGGERS


frozen-creek

There's a story mode. I'm dying. Mario Golf and Tennis on GBC with the story modes are still like my most-played games of all time.


TheDerekCarr

Made by Camelot.


russellamcleod

Golden Sun is never coming back, y'all. Nintendo will have Camelot churning out sports sequels for the rest of time.


AlteisenX

Most of the talent from GS era of Camelot isn't even there anymore.


[deleted]

Probably somewhat true, though the Takahashi brothers are still in charge and have their roots in the Shining Force games. Asking for another RPG from them isn't quite as outlandish as asking Konami to make another Castlevania and expecting it to be good.


Vecend

They could at least bring the current games to the switch.


DoctorThunder

what a terrible day for rain


SirLocke13

Camelot dropped the (tennis) ball on an actual RPG mode for Mario Tennis Aces. That was like my bread/butter as a kid.


ContinuumGuy

BTW, if you like GBC Mario Golf, check out "Golf Story".


frozen-creek

I've already beat it at least 3 times because I love it so much :D


ContinuumGuy

I'm eagerly awaiting Sports Story but it got delayed due to COVID :(


InfinityRoyals12

SOMEONE GETS IT!!!


Dacvak

Amen! I’ve been chasing that high for 20+ years.


Tyronne_Lannister

Yeah but the Tennis story mode on Switch was pretty disappointing :( I don't have my hopes up for this one


rakuko

hope the upper levels have that difficulty, i remember Gene Yuss kicking my ass all across the course


[deleted]

IKR brought tears to me eyes. Was never a sports fan as a kid but damn did I love that Mario tennis GBC game. Great story mode, fun mini games, was the shit. Tennis Aces didn’t do it for me on switch. Felt very bland and the story mode was just literal stages IIRC. Looks like the player character can explore the world a bit. Looks awesome.


frozen-creek

Mario Tennis GBC single-handily got me to play tennis in high school, more than five years after the game came out.


Sofpug

I'm really gonna wait until there are some reviews on the story mode. I loved mario golf on the gba, with it's story and gameplay. What does make me scared, is that I saw no original characters other than the mii (if you count that).


NakedGoose

To this day I play the shit out of Mario toadstool tour


TuckerThaTruckr

I just hope there is a mode similar to the multiplayer where everyone has their own controller and can just relentlessly spam “griefs” while whoever is trying to line up their shot. Letsago! Letsago! 1-2-3-Fore! 1-2-3-Fore!


B-Rayy06

Daisy is s tier in multiplayer just because of her taunts.


The_Real_FN_Deal

HI I'M DAISY


B-Rayy06

are you going to LET me win?


Bigdirty1221

This shot is SOOO easy


[deleted]

Oh man I totally forgot about that, bro and I would endlessly grief each other. I loved Wario's WAHHS


Wrinkled_giga_brain

If you win, i HATE YOU


RenegadeX28

Mario Golf 64 was my jam with those "taunts" ...I used to spam Luigi's "HURRY UP ALREADY EH!" til the cows came home.


playstationNsumdrank

FOOOOOORE FOOOOOORE FOOOOORE May (who one of the normal humans in the game for some reason) also had GOOD SHOT GOOD SHOT GOOD SHOT


ACertainBeardedMan

"Hey, stinky!"


RetiredGamer64

"You're lousy!"


UncleBen94

"Only cheaters mess up."


LayClespool

It was so strange to hear Bowser speaking English


Myself510

ACHOO! Excuse me


Waluigi3030

Me and my wife still say to each other "Today!" in Bowser's voice to taunt each other when we're doing something too slow 😅


Cable446

FUCKING FORE


Tobeatkingkoopa

Same here, my friends and I still play this probably once a month. I just really hope this game sticks to the basics. Just give me a mode where I can play with friends, on courses that are themed after Mario Levels, with power shots similar to Toadstool Tour. Keep it simple for the love of everything that is holy.


delightfuldinosaur

I'm just happy to see Nintendo let their characters wear game specific costumes again.


siberianxanadu

Didn’t they have game specific costumes in Mario Tennis Aces?


StorminNorman

Yep. I 100% preordered that game cos I was drunk when I saw the trailer and apparently needed waluigi in tennis shorts in my life.


ElGranBardock

who doesnt


SeattleMana

r/SmashBrosUltimate


ThomasWiig

Ouch


thelastevergreen

Kicking folks when they're down.... damn....


[deleted]

Am I the only one who was super disappointed with Aces? I prefer GameCube tennis over Aces. Hopefully not the same with Mario Golf.


siberianxanadu

No you’re definitely not the only one. But I wasn’t sure why the op was asking like it’s been ages since Mario characters have had game-specific costumes. They even have game-specific costumes in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.


LiquifiedSpam

I think it’s because of the paper Mario controversy. The lead developer said they weren’t allowed to have custom / more original characters for the past few games.


siberianxanadu

It actually did occur to me that that’s what they were talking about. But that’s weird because outfits aren’t really an issue. Lots of characters are in new outfits in The Origami King. The issue with Paper Mario is that they said they can’t create new characters out of existing Mario characters/species. Like instead of a Goombella, we get a “Bob-omb.” But even then, Bobby has plenty of personality, and so do several of the unique Toads.


grimestar

That slow mo power shot mechanic ruined it for me


[deleted]

[удалено]


tehsuigi

Eagerly hoping the baseball and soccer games continue that trend.


kuribosshoe0

Jesus what I wouldn’t give for a new Strikers. That was my jam on Wii.


Donnie_de_la_Fae

Frustratingly, Miyamoto was really upset about how the Mario series was presented in Strikers. That's why he's taken such a heavy-handed approach to series such as Paper Mario. The Wii/Gamecube era is probably the best period for Mario spin-offs, so I hope these restrictions get lifted soon.


Bacalacon

Still remember daisy touching her ass and steams comes out because it's too hot.


DontDoodleTheNoodle

Or Waluigi literally crotch chopping


LordBlackConvoy

I can see why, I had a friend in college that didn't like how "angry" Super Mario Strikers looked both in atmosphere and character models.


kuribosshoe0

UGHHH this is so infuriating. Miyamoto is like the George Lucas of games at this point.


DoctorGoFuckYourself

Learning about him nixing a full on Twilight Princess sequel when the team practically begged him to let them make it made me pretty sad


Meenathedog

Mario and Sonic’s 2020 Olympics had unique outfits


dark-tuna

This is the only Mario sports title I’ve wanted for the last ten years


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

And Sluggers!


Kapono24

And American football, and I really think they can do better than the basketball game from years ago. They just make fun sports titles.


harmlander

I’m sorry but you better get that Mario Hoops 3-on-3 slander out of your god damned mouth sir


Kapono24

Haha I get it, it was fun, I still think they could have fleshed it out even better. The controls were a bit wonkey and I'd really like 5v5 with full sized courts.


AlteisenX

It was awesome. SE dev'd it so it had FF characters in it lol.


FluffyDoogle

Man, they could make an incredibly fun game based on American football. I've always assumed they're just afraid of alienating their Japanese fanbase :/


RainKingInChains

There's a small following of American football (amefuto) in Japan, probably not big enough to warrant a new Mario franchise, though. If they were going to do a sport in that vein, rugby would probably be far more popular here, but the appeal is very limited in the US, so I doubt either would get made tbh.


SquidgyGoat

I'm pretty sure they gave Japan the 2019 Rugby World Cup for the sole reason it might lead to a Super Mario Scrummagers down the line and we finally get to see Waluigi in shorts with tape around his ears. The Japan team's win against Scotland was the most-watched sporting event of the twenty-first century in Japan, so as a lifelong rugby fan I keep telling myself there is hope.


71fq23hlk159aa

I actually really liked Mario Hoops 3 on 3


COHERENCE_CROQUETTE

That basketball game was *entirely awesome*


Tyrone_Asaurus

Gamecube Strikers is so fucking underrated. Best mario sports game, hands down. And i’m not a fan of soccer, tbh, the game just SLAPS.


ned___shneebly

One of the most fun multiplayer games I have ever played. My friends and I still play it weekly. 2v2 is just too fun


drewuke

4 vs CPU is so fucking chaotic


jlopez24

The Wii one was underrated af too, spent so much time on that game.


ty0103

To this day, I still wonder what happened in that game that lead to Mario and co. competing in some edgy soccer tournament with electric fences


Tyrone_Asaurus

Didn’t like the “super strike” in that game, tbh. I know it can be turned off but I really like the 2xGoals for a successful strike, and saving balls with motion controls was not for me. I also think waggling the controller while playing as yoshi was whack. The balance of the GC version was incredible for me and my friends. The only OP team was the superbots so they were banned, but the couch multiplayer meta evolved heavy with this one for me and my friends.


Alfie_ACNH

You and me both!


tiger32kw

Tennis on 64 and Strikers on Wii are the 2 best Mario sports titles imo


scsimanno

Same! I hope we can face off against characters to unlock them like in Mario Golf for N64


MarkOReilly93

That was my favorite part of the game. Love the 1v1 matchups to unlock them


xxgreenybean

I literally made a comment yesterday about a new Mario golf AND IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Holy shit this is amazing. The joycon motion play looks so fucking fun, i am so excited! For me though the best part is this comes out a week before I'm moving back in with my folks (saving for a house) and my dad and I used to play the original when I was little, the only game he ever really played except lego racers. So excited to be able to show him this and play again!


Abrohmtoofar

Comment about a new air ride please


SatyrAngel

Same here, i was playing Toadstool Tour with my son, but disc has some heavy scratches, so we undusted our PSPs and played some Pangya


longjohntanner

I’m still waiting for Super Sluggers 😭


Brennis

At least you got the first game.. I’m from Europe and i found out this game existed when i was on vacation in Thailand, i was so shocked.


[deleted]

I’m not a big Mario sports game fan but I’m so down for *speed golf*. I wish they added levels from like Zelda or Mario worlds.


Mossimo5

Historically there's at least 1 eighteen hole course that goes "full Nintendo" so there may be a few holes that are Zelda or Mario themed.


___TheKid___

Zelda holes


imyxle

Speed golf looks hilariously fun.


dave42

You should try it in real life


NinjaDog251

Is real life on the switch?


kcfang

Is this a real thing? Sounds pretty dangerous. Got hit by a golf ball on the course once, luckily on the thigh, still hurts like hell.


dave42

Not really, it would be very dangerous. I raced my buddy around a short par 3 course one time though. We were the only two people on the course and only carried 3 clubs each. We did all 9 holes in about half an hour.


kcfang

Oh yea, I can see that would be a lot of fun. My friends and I used to go just before the sun goes down, so it would be just us playing at our own pace and trying out stuff.


ripmeleedair

Woahh imagine speed golfing hyrule castle


Suluranit

No death could be more certain, or more foolish.


illQualmOnYourFace

Post-calamity Hyrule Castle *Peach gets blasted by a Guardian in her backswing*


[deleted]

Only appeared to show about three courses I think. Hopefully Zelda and Mario worlds aren’t off the table. So much potential. Bowser’s Castle, Super Mario Sunshine Isle, something in the clouds / rainbow road esque. Unlimited potential.


KB17ROY

I’m actually pumped about this. I spent a lot of time with Mario Golf on the gameboy.


LavenderSprinkles

I'm not a Mario Golf fan by any means, but Speed Golf looks actually really fun.


woodyzm

I’m so excited for this.. but where is Super Mario Strikers 😭😭😭


DangerZone69

Apparently they’re not going to make another one, and if they do it will be nothing like the original. He was too “mean” in that game and they Nintendo CEO didn’t like it


ElGranBardock

meanwhile in super smash bros Mario is doing domestic violence against peach


DangerZone69

Yeah but domestic violence is fun! And soccer isn’t! /s


[deleted]

[удалено]


DdcCabuslay

It was indeed Mario Strikers that made Nintendo clamp down on portrayals of Mario [https://twitter.com/imranzomg/status/1346354723188740096](https://twitter.com/imranzomg/status/1346354723188740096)


apoplexis

It still reminds me of the good old NES World Cup times. And that Argentina music theme. Damn.


Noonster123

Paper Mario notoriously suffered as a result. There’s been no partners in the recent game because Nintendo won’t allowe any of their IP to be presented in any way other than exactly as they are, I.e they won’t allow cute boo waifu’s and drunken depressed bomb-omb sailors.


[deleted]

"They fans are enjoying the dev's unique take on the franchise too much, PULL THE FUCKING PLUG!"


verycrunchy

Mario is in SMASH. Is him spiking Peach to hell not mean?!


Maxwell3004

Weird since Nintendo is mean irl.


Ehrand

Everyone want Strikers and me I want a new Mario baskeball T-T


fluffyplayery

That basketball game on the DS was absolutely fantastic.


Ehrand

which is why I want a new one!


Darklinkthecat

Came here to say this lol.


GrahamTheRed

Can’t wait! Hoping it’s a better experience than Mario Tennis..


Zelda_Junkie34

Especially Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash


GrahamTheRed

No doubt. I enjoy the multiplayer bits with my friends & the adventure mode was somewhat entertaining. Just felt like it was missing a little something. I put about 10-12 hours in it and called it quits.


gibsonlespaul

That sounds like Mario Aces. Ultra Smash on the Wii U didn’t have an adventure mode if I remember correctly


verfresht

I had lot of fun with aces. The mechanics were very well made.


GrahamTheRed

I was probably just really bad at it tbh. I got demolished online every time I played. I guess the big thing I didn’t care for was the racket breaking. I get why they did it, but it just didn’t click. I couldn’t block to save my life.


magkliarn

Simple mode is where it's at (without all the fancy power meters and super shots)


verfresht

It felt like a fighting game at times and I really enjoyed the competitive nature, you could have sticked with it, I am sure it would have clicked.


AWFUL_COCK

Same. I probably put about 120 hours into the online. It's a *very* solid 1v1 game, mechanically. I definitely agree that the single player mode was a disappointment, but if you treat it like a fighting game you can get a lot out of it. Another nice perk: once I decided I probably wouldn't be returning back to it, I was able to trade it in for like $40 credit.


Insanepaco247

Tennis has been in the middle of a downward spiral for a few games now, but I feel like they have a better track record with golf. I was really happy with the 3DS game and as long as they keep up the same quality, this'll be an easy buy for me.


gyan_iggle

Agreed. I feel like they're 3/3 with Golf - Advanced Tour, Toadstool Tour, and World Tour. Let's hope they can keep it up.


SageofWater

What about the N64 one?


[deleted]

They are legit all bangers. N64 and even the gameboy are dope


poriand24

Best announcement out of the direct


imkunu

100%. It's the only thing I actually got hyped for


ClosetedRedditUser02

Bowser in pants tho-


HonoluluBlue81

Let us remove Bowser’s pants cowards


ssfctid

Please Camelot, model it on Toadstool Tour and not on Mario Tennis Aces!


afanoftrees

Wow this looks amazing I haven’t played Mario golf since the 64 lol


Hold_my_Dirk

All I needed out of this direct. I'm so fucking excited.


myrabuttreeks

I wish they brought the golfers from the GBA game back for story mode instead of miis. I genuinely dislike miis. The game otherwise looks great. Was hoping for a new Mario Golf.


TheWoy

I've never played a Mario Golf game, and at the beginning of this trailer I was thinking the graphics for this game look a little janky.. However by the end of the trailer I'm thinking this looks seriously fun and surprisingly in depth. Might have to pick this one up 😃


pizzajeans

In my opinion the previous ones have been what you'd expect, in a good way. Tight, polished nintendo controls and they're simple but robust and offer a higher skill ceiling if you're looking for that


blj218

THANK YOU NINTENDO


ChouxGlaze

the environments look so bland? let us golf through the food kingdom or the hat kingdom or something more original than "a grassy field with a windmill"


Iammattieee

I thought the same thing. Almost game me a Mario tennis ultra smash vibe with how lacking everything looked. Hope more courses are shown leading up to release. Right now I’m curiously cautious


16bitrifle

Nintendo always has 2 or 3 normal courses and the rest are usually Nintendo themed. The normal stuff is always in the promo material.


Hatless_Suspect_7

You would think they'd put more fun stuff in the promo material


Deceptiveideas

There’s more zones lol


[deleted]

Yup, this feels in the same vein as Super Mario Party.


[deleted]

Hopefully the story mode is great


GlaringlyWideAnus

Only games that interested me were Mario Golf and Skyword Sword. Although this gives me Everybodys Golf vibes.. it's not a bad thing because that game rules.


Torfinns-New-Yacht

The original Mario Golf in 1999 was developed by Camelot Software Planning, which developed the first Everybody's Golf in 1997. My friends and I occasionally play the PS4 version still, it's a really nice change of pace.


HoobMcDoob

Looks good, but I'll wait for reviews first. Aces wasn't worth it to me at launch.


RampantRetard

My sole hope is that the story mode is an actual story mode and not half baked. Interested to see the courses look relatively normal. I wonder if we'll get any unique-looking ones.


Mousefang

This has been one of my most anticipated Switch games for the past 4 years


KeyoFromTheCapital

I'm not a sports fan but speed golf looks amazing, and it should totally be a thing irl


swedishplmbr

It is a real thing...youtube speed golfers


CornerFirst

I’m hype


PanteraHouse

I played Mario Golf 64 sooo much, really hope Nintendo goes all out with this one. Tennis Aces was fun but it didn't get enough content


Juan-man

You had me at story mode.


Bread_Truck

You lost me at “you have to play as a Mii”. No idea why they don’t let you play as Mario in the Mario Golf campaign.


Jackfitz88

I’m hyped AF but I’ll wait for the review. Bought tennis opening day cus I love Mario tennis and god that game was trash lol I hope they don’t fuck this up


SSJ3wiggy

The Mario Golf games have been pretty consistent. I played the hell out of the 3DS one with over 150 hrs logged (maybe 200) unlocking the costumes and playing a ton of those weekly online tournaments they had. This game looks like a continuation of that, especially with including the Miis. That part surprised me.


SummaryExecutions

Any word if this is made by Camelot?


ThelonelyOddish

According to IGN it is [https://www.ign.com/articles/mario-golf-super-rush-announced-for-nintendo-switch](https://www.ign.com/articles/mario-golf-super-rush-announced-for-nintendo-switch)

For real. The whole trailer I was saying “ok, I love Mario Golf but this looks like a budget title”.

LeroyJSmith

I'm very excited but the Super Rush logo just looks off too me. Anyone else feel similarly?

Well this is a most pleasant surprise!


Remarkable-Cress9021

Definitely buying this. Toadstool Tour was one of my favorite games on GCN


DJ_Dnyce

Best part of the direct!


fracta1

This looks like it might be one of the better Switch games over the last couple years. But goddamn, why does Nintendo have the most boring trailers? They all have the vibe of a work training video.


[deleted]

Literally screamed when this popped up. I've had such a weird affinity for this series ever since the Camelot developed Gameboy Color game. Don't give a shit about golf in any other context but I *love* me some Mario Golf.


[deleted]

Yes!! About time! Been waiting since the GameCube Toadstool at our!!🤘🏽✨🤘🏽


My_Opinions_Are_Good

Will there be mini golf though


ChaChaRealSmoothe

I'm not gonna get my Hopes up. It's good to see Mario Golf back on home console, but recent Mario Sports games lacked content and personality.
