f00had Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 A demo for this is hitting the eShop on Thursday. Is this the first time Nintendo have released a demo of their own games on the eShop?
Ike Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Fire Emblem & Pokemon Mystery Dungeon got demos, so no.
RedShell Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Is this the first time Nintendo have released a demo of their own games on the eShop?Nope: Fire Emblem & Pokemon Mystery Dungeon got demos, so no.Nintendogs + cats and New Style Boutique got demos too.
dazzybee Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 But is the first time they've released them in advance of a release?
Ike Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Nope: Nintendogs + cats and New Style Boutique got demos too. I knew there was more, couldn't think of them of the top my head. But is the first time they've released them in advance of a release? The demos I mentioned were. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon allowed you to transfer your save over. I want to say New Style Boutique was as well, but not sure on that one.
f00had Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 ahhh it's been ages since I last saw a Nintendo demo so I forgot about all those games lol. No school/work on Friday so I can get some good play time with the demo this weekend
Gentleben Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Does anyone know if this game will have download play or multicart only?
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 Does anyone know if this game will have download play or multicart only? Multi cart only I'm afraid!
nekunando Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 A demo for this is hitting the eShop on Thursday. Happy days It'll be good to get a chance to try this out as I haven't really played a golf game for ages and certainly never played one as extensively as Mario Golf 64
Gentleben Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Multi cart only I'm afraid! Does it at least have any kind of hot seat play then?
Dcubed Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Multi cart only I'm afraid! Boo! A damn shame that I don't suppose anyone knows if it's still gonna have a multiplayer mode where you take turns using the one 3DS? Every previous MG game has had something like that (using the one handheld/console controller), so I'd be shocked if it wasn't here...
Hero-of-Time Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Get a Mario hat if you preorder from Nintendo UK. Details Here
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 No hot seat/ pass the 3DS around multiplayer I'm afraid, only online or local multi cart is supported
Dcubed Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 No hot seat/ pass the 3DS around multiplayer I'm afraid, only online or local multi cart is supported WHAT!? Unbelievable! What were they thinking!? It is a bloody turn based game! How can this be the only Mario Golf game out there without a hot seat mode!? Ridiculous!
dazzybee Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Game looks so good, can't wait. Really hope we get a mario golf/tennis for the Wii u at some point, especially tennis. Maybe more like mario tennis 64 than more fantastical sequels though
kalipso3 Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Looking forward to it, gonna download the demo tomorrow! Never tried 3DS demo before, are these not to overly limited?
Ike Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 This is from Gonintendo: Mario Golf: World Tour's demo features tutorials, 3-holes from Seaside Course, Wiggler Park, Yoshi Lake, a Star Coin Collector level on Peach's Gardens and a Ring Master level on the Mountain Course. The available characters for this slice are Mario, Peach, Yoshi and Bowser. It can be played ten times and is available now.
Phube Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Won't download for me. Keeps getting an error part way through. Is that me or everyone!?
Hero-of-Time Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Won't download for me. Keeps getting an error part way through. Is that me or everyone!? I managed to download it. Haven't played it yet though.
Ike Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Won't download for me. Keeps getting an error part way through. Is that me or everyone!? Try sleep mode download? Worked fine for me earlier.
Phube Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Well after telling me it 'errored' it's just popped up on my home screen! FOOOOORE!
dazzybee Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Played it. Loved it. Can't wait for the 2nd.... Found it confusing at first that the preview grid had the little cursor in the middle of it, and then the flight of the ball arrow and landing point, wasn't sure which was which, but I THINK that the cursor on the grid is simply telling you if the area is lower or higher than where you are... Don't know why the flight cursor is off though sometimes...
peterl0 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Hmmm. Don't think much if the demo to be honest. The mechanics of the golf and the course are ok but having nothing to compete against is a bit dull. I would rather have only a few courses but a CPU to play against. Also the grid on the greens is massively off putting would - much rather gave the wii sports golf approach. The games itself may well fix some of have complaints which just makes me think the demo is odd.
