Great. I'll wait for impressions first though. I'm not a HUGE golf game fan, but I'll check it out if the OT is nothing but positive stuff, like Dig 2 was.
Nah, Cuphead is being made to wait.
Sounds wise to wait for reviews for this one anyway. As excited as I am for the prospect of a love letter to Mario Golf on GBC, I'm not sold on this being that just yet. I'll wait on other people to bite the bullet and provide impressions first.

Just realized that no one has signed up to do the OT yet.
Someone should get on that!
Can't blame them, no one really knew when it was coming.
To anyone looking to make it, good news though, there's barely anything to say about the game since we know so little

How am I supposed to hold all these digital games?
I think I've bought more games for the Switch than I did for the Wii U in like its first 2 years.

I think you just sold 2500 copies on the OT name alone.

The concept is gold, I really hope the game itself lives up to that.

The GBA games Mario Golf and Mario Tennis were made using the Golden Sun engine.
Wow, didn't know about that, or about the RPG-like feel of the Game Boy games. Only played N64 Tennis and Golf.
From what little information's out there, I get the impression the actual story will be far more linear/focused than something like Stardew. Apart from the community center stuff, Stardew was far more open, you basically created your own story as you went along.
It seems Golf Story has an actual story its wanting to tell. Any longevity beyond that will probably come from the actual golf part of the game. I would guess at the story taking between 6 - 10 hours from beginning to end. Of course I could be totally wrong.

Have review codes been sent anywhere? It's a little scary that we don't have any information about that...

Yep, they even used the exact same "Move Psynergy" sprite.
You could build up the character in the GBC/GBA Mario Golf/Tennis games through the story and then bring them into the N64/Gamecube versions of the games. It was fantastic and I miss them doing that.
Probably not. I think this is the very first date they could get it on the eShop after cert passed, which is why it didn't have a solid date.
But those games seem quite limited exploration and adventure-wise. Golf Story seems to have a full map similar to LttP.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Team is extremely small, and they are self publishing.
It's why they've had a small press kit in their site, through out that trailer, and went AFK due to needing to focus on getting the game done.
Maybe if this is successful then they can hire some more help.

I dunno man, what if they just wanted to be mysterious. Now there is an air of the unknown to them, making them slightly more handsome and desirable and I bet their dad owns a Corvette.
