... Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I never played real golf but I feel kind of attracted to it. The big green areas with rivers and waterfalls and trees and all that. There's a sense of peace to it. Anyway, I finally played Wii this weekend at a store. Sadly I only got to play Wii Sports, there was no Zelda. But I loved Wii Sports. I tried them all except boxing. Being European of course I thought baseball sucked, but the other 3 were all cool, with bowling and golf being the better ones because of the strategy element involved. I really loved the golf one and it got me craving for a real fully fleshed golf experience and I was wondering if there's anything like that in the works. Anyone know?
blender Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I really doubt EA would bother with another tiger woods

solitanze Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 What ever happened to this game, only released in JAPAN? I smell an opportunity for a novelty remake on Wii... LINK: http://cube.ign.com/objects/675/675005.html

Anyone know? EA has stated that Tiger Woods Golf is coming to Wii. It was originally planned as a launch window title, but now current release date is TBA.
Nintendork Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Tiger Woods is a freaking jerk. Get a different golf game (innevitable there will be others besides Mario Golf and Super Swing)
nekunando Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 ..a Wii version of Nintendo Touch Golf perhaps..
Atomic Boo Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I hope the wii mote will be good enough to interpret a good golf swing from just a wild wave of the arm. I play golf a lot and i hope that propper swings are recognised against a friend who doesnt really know how to do it. Itll probably end up being stupid otherwise with people playing it first time and they hit it really far. Touch golf was pretty bad in my opinion, I mean, how hard is it to move a stylus from the bottom to the the top of a touch screen? There wasnt much in the way of skill. But i hope there is in a wii golf game.
Nintendork Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 There's already 2 fishing games in development, I'm sure someone will pick it up. Development costs are so low that even a large golf manafacturer could finance it themselves providing the console sales are good enough.
flameboy Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I'm sure Tiger Woods was listed in loads of launch window titles. play.com have it down as being out on 30/03/2007. http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/1102147/-/Product.html?searchstring=tiger+woods&searchsource=0
flameboy Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 is there golf in the new monkey ball? yeah there is dunno how it works though...
Ren of Heavens Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I'm really looking forward to Tiger Woods. Hopefully with online play.
Nintendork Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I'm really looking forward to Tiger Woods. Hopefully with online play. Don't get your hopes up, Live version sucked.
gmanprime Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 is there golf in the new monkey ball? This is without a dought the least responsive and by far the worst golf game I have ever played. You tilt the controller to aim your shot(Control feals broken). After you finally get it lined up the actual swing makes no sence whatsoever, as you bring the wiimote up the monkey seems to flail the club randomly. Don't even get me started when it come to putting.
dazzybee Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 INterview with EA on gamespot said Tiger SSX godfather and one more are coming out first half of next year from EA on Wii!! Pangya golf may have a cartoony presentation but the actual mechanics sounds awesome, in one playtest they were saying that it DOES understand a proper golf swing (relatively) and that a nongamer friend golfer was awesome at it instantly!! I think Tiger Woods will be a great game, though I prefer Pangya's style for golf games, as the control is still awesome (if the previews are to be believed). But then I don't like golf in real life. Absolutely love Touch Golf though
Nintendork Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 WII SPORE WII OMG SPORE? /insert hype. (i know it isn't but someone will read this on Google and start a rumour without reading this second line)

I play golf a lot and i hope that propper swings are recognised against a friend who doesnt really know how to do it. Hmm.... I think that would make it somewhat hard for someone who never played real golf, probably even impossible, don't you? But if it were a choice, then it would be great. They could have the standard difficulty settings and one of them (or several) would use those mechanics. It could be the "Professional" setting, or the "Real" setting.
Emasher Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 how about Emasher PGA Tour (ya right i suck at golf)

It could be the "Professional" setting, or the "Real" setting. Yeah I know these sorts of games are for people who havent really played much before but it would be good if there was a 'Real Mode'. Im not sure if the Wiimote/wii would be good enough to recognise a good golf swing. It would be very hard to set up a program for it.
Wolf Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Nintendo can do both a Mario Golf game and a Touch Golf game like they did for the DS.
Nintendork Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I doubt there will be touch golf, that would be stupid. It will just canibalise the Mario golf sales.
fukudasolokomalakikenanze Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 What ever happened to this game, only released in JAPAN? I smell an opportunity for a novelty remake on Wii... LINK: http://cube.ign.com/objects/675/675005.html Probably won't... I'd like to know whats going to happen with Pennant Chase Baseball, will that be a Wii title?
