dazzybee Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 But is the first time they've released them in advance of a release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted April 14, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted April 14, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleben Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Multi cart only I'm afraid! Does it at least have any kind of hot seat play then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted April 15, 2014 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaepora_Gaebora Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 No hot seat/ pass the 3DS around multiplayer I'm afraid, only online or local multi cart is supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted April 16, 2014 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted April 18, 2014 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterl0 Posted April 18, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
