    Mario Golf arrives on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack on 15/04!


    Hit the fairway with Mario and friends in the Nintendo 64 game that teed off the series.

    Toadstool Tour on Gamecube was my introduction to this series, and it was brilliant. I don't think I've missed anything, then or now, by not playing it on N64.

    I enjoyed the Mario Golf title on the N64, I think I might still have it on cart.

    Look forward to playing a little, once again

    Where is the best spot to pick up the N64 controller for the Switch?

    Quality game, which was a sight to behold back in 96, and still holds up well today imo.

    Couple of things, if you have only experienced Wave Race 64 on a PAL machine, you are in for a treat with this release.

    It will play at NTSC speed, or the speed our Japanese and American brothers and sisters enjoyed, rather than the slow as molasses thing we got over here.

    And, with any luck, this will also be compatible with the rumble feature of the Switch controllers. Originally they re-released it at the time of the N64 Rumble pack, with support enabled, I have it for my NTSC N64 and it is still a fantastic game to play.

    Hopefully, 1080° SnowBoarding won't be too far behind it!

    Hmm, will be interesting to try Wave Race 64 - it's one of the titles I remember reading about with envy (particularly after playing some arcade jetski game, maybe Wave Runner?), but never played as only 1 person I knew had an N64.

    Is 1080 snowboarding worth a look for someone who is most fond of the Shaun White wii snowboarding games (played on a balance board for best effect)?

    My sub is up for renewal next month and I think there is enough in the expansion pass now to make it worthwhile.

    Re: 1080, it is a more about the race than stunts, and it was well received for the analogue control over your characters weight on the board, which made it more intuitive, plus the effects of the different surfaces, from compact snow to loose powder to ice. A balance board would be awful!

    I loved 1080 snowboarding.

    Played really well...and that was on a PAL N64.

    Time for Nintendo to revive it maybe. Or maybe that was the shield surfing in BOTW. 😊

    Also, they could have 1080 snowboarding in 1080p resolution now on the Switch. 😊😊

    I really liked the Gamecube sequels to both Wave Race and 1080, but they are unlikely to to be ported to the console.

    And Nintendo are showing no signs of investing in a Switch-specific title in either franchise, which is a pity.

    When did Nintendo launch a .ie store website? Completely missed that!

    If you see a product on the uk site you can now change region to Ireland at the top. Seems those retro controllers sell out very quick. They fetch 100+ on ebay.

    About time after they led with the awful Earthworm Jim 2 for some reason. Extra points for running with the superior Megadrive version as well.

    I turned on EJ2 during the week having never played it before.

    Was genuinely taken aback when the hyper-irritating puppy bouncing interlude turned out to be *mandatory to progress* rather than a bonus mini-game.

    Would love to see your reaction when persevere that, the absolute cancerous shmup level and then realize there's 2 more puppy sections.

    What are the chances of a 7 November drop for this game? 25 years to the date of its initial (UK) release

    I can't wait to play this, and with the NTSC version the frame rate will be that bit higher!
