There's actually plenty of new info over those previews. I'd gather it here if I felt more like it Go give those sites visits instead. Nintendolife's preview is very extensive. GameXplain did a good job too. Polygon's preview is meh.
The 3DS triumphed in 2013 with a few key experiences that, conceivably, could devour dozens of hours and make time pass in a flash, experiences both accessible and complex at once.
To our surprise Mario Golf: World Tour could pick up that mantle in 2014.

On the course, I was able to simultaneously take my shots, rather than waiting for my friends to line up their moves. As we progressed, small icons would appear on-screen, allowing me to measure their ball's progress against my own. Although the game doesn't feature voice or text chat options, I could razz other players by sending emoticons.
In addition to local multiplayer tournaments, World Tour will also allow players to compete in online competitions at their own pace. Players can simply set their rules, play a course and submit their score, the representative said.
"You also have the ability to join special communities that will have tournaments with special rule sets," the Nintendo rep said. "People can really play the game however they want. Some people want to play Mario Golf with realistic courses, no items, basically really limit things to more of a traditional kind of golf setting. Other people want to have the craziest — all the items on, just completely bananas."

15 minutes was all it took to sell me on Mario Golf: World Tour for the Nintendo 3DS. Now I know that a demo that brief is barely enough time to scratch the surface of a game, but World Tour’s fast-paced, energetic, and wildly entertaining local multiplayer mode immediately sunk its teeth into me.

I only had about ten minutes of hands-on time with Mario Golf: World Tour, yet I was able to have fun despite my lack of interest in the sport.
