Exciting New Mini Golf Simulator Hits the Nintendo Switch eShop!
Attention, golf enthusiasts and Nintendo fans! A fresh experience has just rolled onto the Nintendo Switch as a Nintendo Switch exclusive titled Mini Golf Simulator has made its grand debut on the eShop. Priced at just $5.20 USD, this game promises to bring a unique spin to the classic concept of golfing right from the comfort of your home.
Innovative Control Mechanism for the Joy-Cons
Developed by Takahiro Miyazawa, this game truly makes the most of the Joy-Con controllers with an exclusive motion control feature. Players can experience the thrill of the green by actually swinging their Joy-Con forward, simulating that familiar action of a putter swing. To make the most of the game, you’ll need to use wrist strap attachments that allow the Joy-Con to dangle freely—trust us, you don’t want to accidentally launch your controller across the room!
Get Ready for Fun With Friends
What’s more, Mini Golf Simulator supports up to four players, so you can challenge your friends or family to mini golf showdowns! Just imagine the laughter and shouts as everyone tries to sink that all-important hole-in-one. But be warned, the unconventional control scheme might lead to some hilarious mishaps—it’s all part of the fun!
Gameplay Preview Available Now
For those eager to get a glimpse of how the gameplay works, a twelve-minute gameplay video showcasing the Joy-Con magic has been posted on the studio’s official channel. This sneak peek allows potential players to see the unique application of the controls in action, and you might just find yourself itching to grab a controller!
Availability and Future Expectations
At the moment, Mini Golf Simulator is available on the North America and Japan eShops, but unfortunately, it has not yet launched on the UK or European eShops. As Nintendo fans anticipate the release of additional gaming titles and platforms, it’s crucial to keep an eye out for updates.
The Nintendo Switch’s Lasting Popularity
In 2024, the Nintendo Switch continues to enjoy immense popularity, despite the whispers of a potential successor in the works.
