Looking back at the Indie direct Nintendo did, when it came to Golf Story they said it was coming "Exclusively to Switch", is worth noting that they specifically mentioned other games as "Coming to Switch first". So there's a possibility that this will be exclusive forever.

It just means other ports aren't planned at the moment lol
No reason to not port it somewhere else later

Yeah that's a possibility.

Does that work with switch Eshop? Only mentions 3ds and wiiu

 

[Melchior]

Be still my beating heart. I'm too excited for this game.

Sooo ummm is this game good or what?

Likely a small team who are focusing on one platform at a time. Even if they wanted to release on multiple platforms, they would likely be hindered by resources. Just a guess.

It's tied to your account.

The switch wii U and switch all use the same coins.

And thats a pretty good deal. I think I'll get it for Mario Odyssey since theres no collectors

All we've seen is the first hour or so? But it looks good and the people playing it have only good things to say.

 

[-GJ-]

The dev said on Twitter that they might look into other platforms after the game is out on Switch.

That's my point. Drawing any conclusion about what was said in a direct, especially with a flawed reasoning, is useless.
Also devs have already pointed out that they are a small team who chose switch because portability felt right and that they will maybe look into other platforms later, so there isn't really much to say for now.

It looks like it's going to deliver that handheld Mario Golf experience we've all been craving since the GBA/GBC releases. That was expected, but these videos are showing just how charming the RPG side of things gets, and the golf mode seems pretty full-fledged. For 15 bucks, it seems like a no-brainer.

I'm sure this game gets ported if it catches on the way it should. I'm going to do my part and purchase day one and hope more people get a chance to experience it. That said, it's tailor made (TaylorMade?!) for a portable play.

That doesn't look like what they said at all.

But hey if they can get money to hire a porting team it could work

 

[phanphare]

I'm so ready for this game

going in blind, don't care about reviews or anything

the art looks gorgeous, the sound design sounds great, the dialogue seems great, quirky, and funny, the different environments looks great.

if this game ends up being bad or something whatever, they won me from the first showing

Yeah that whole talk ought to be out-of-bounds.

 

[luulubuu]

Can someone pm me when the game is up?

 

[JonnyKong]

7 pages already and the game isn't out yet. I think the developers might be taken by surprise here by how well this sells.

You should really switch to 100 posts per page. It’s the only way.

 

[Maaaaaardy]

Never heard of this but it looks amazing!

Yeah I didn't remember the exact quote, sorry. That's why I searched for the tweet.

 

[tomcis]

Anyone know how to redeem Nintendo card online? or do I need to do it when I get home on my system? Been searching nintendo site and its taking me all over the place.

 

[ScientificPizza]

that sounds like a nightmare

 

[ksimm]

This reminds me so much of my favourite Mario Tennis RPG from Camelot, but with golf! Looks like an instant purchase for me.

I don't think it is possible. They used to have a redeem page, but it really wasn't supposed to be used by the average user.

 

[Oregano]

Thanks guys, what are the best videos to get a taste?

Yeah that whole talk ought to be out-of-bounds.

That was an above par pun.

EDIT:Wait wouldn't above par be bad?

 

[Hasney]

They also did Mario Golf RPGs for GBC and GBA, which is where the inspiration for this comes from. I'm hoping if they want to do a followup in the future, it's tennis.

... Or Slamball, but I dont know how feasible that is.

 

[tomcis]

aww. Thanks anyways. I guess I gotta wait until I get home.

 

[Ashodin]

Fuck dudes, I'm so in

This game looks really good. I wish they used pixel font tho instead of whatever they’re using now tho.

 

[socksfelloff]

Buying this and cuphead. Indie devs trying new things deserve our money !

 

[J@hranimo]

I think they should do an AMA a little while after the game is out. Like how did they start on this game? their inspirations? How they got a devkit? Etc.

The way they use the text in-game wouldn't work well at all with pixel fonts.

I agree!

Yo so I have a question

what is a golf story exactly?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

So Cuphead tonight and Golf Story tomorrow.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Like a cave story but with golf instead of caves, silly.

 

[Kodaman]

Goddammit another game to buy

Where do I buy time??

 

[RedToad64]

Cuphead still has a while until it unlocks.

 

[gingerbeardman]

I only now realized the game will be only in English, went from instabuy to maybe later, I remember being super confused by stats and all that on Mario Golf GB (that was also English only), thankfully Mario Golf GBA was translated.
Sorry but if I play it, it's to relax and not trying to understand and mentally translate all those Golf terminology.

I'm not sure what language you speak natively but there's also a Japanese release published by CIRCLE that was shown at TGS.

Yes, please. As an indie developer I'd like to learn from their experience.

That's how multiplatform gamers roll.

 

[J@hranimo]

Lol! I honestly hope they would answer that with a sense of humor.

A story featuring our main protagonist....Mr. Golf! As he plays golf and wins at golf and learns about golf and golf accessories.

 

[luulubuu]

That would be like Golf Merchandise Story, who is Golf

 

[ScientificPizza]

you’re not ready for the story of golf

 

[franklyshankly]

Do we know what time it unlocks on the shop?

 

[Oregano]

you’re not ready for the story of golf

Or maybe I need the story of Golf the most?

 

[dralla]

Can you customize your character in this or do you have to play as the white dude with brown hair?

 

[CharminUltra]

Like a cave story but with golf instead of caves, silly.

That's a way of putting it.
