I obviously can't post the scans, but I'm excited to play as Birdo and Kamek. The Rosalina fans are going to be salty, but in all honesty, I can't picture her playing sports. Evidently Nintendo agrees with me.

YO KAMEK?!!!!! HYPE

hope shes in the next mario tennis just because i wanna see if shes a skirt or shorts kinda gal.

 

[Soup Bar]

Still 30 bucks preorder on Amazon if anyone cares.

 

[MannyToons]

No Rosalina? Well I'm... surprised. The lack of Luma is also quite surprising as well. All that's needed is Wario and Waluigi anyways, heheh.

...I should really get this game though, as I've never really taken the time to try a Mario Golf title. Though I recall hating the N64 one, ha.

EDIT: Woahwoahwaidaminutewaidaminute... KAMEK? How'd I not notice that??? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

 

[atomic moth]

What's a kamek?

 

[UpsideDownAce]

No metal Mario?

 

[giancarlo123x]

What's a kamek?

Curious about this also.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

What's a kamek?

Kamek is a magikoopa, originally from Yoshis island.

 

[Flying Toaster]

What's a kamek?

Oh god... no, no, no. What is with today's generation and a lack of knowledge of all Mario Brothers mythos.

 

[Silky]

What's a kamek?

The shithead magikoopa from Yoshi's Island

 

[Unicorn]

Is this being developed by Camelot?

 

[Salvadora]

No Shy Guy?

:/

 

[DR2K]

No Rosalina? Bye

 

[ffdgh]

Kamek before Rosa? I'm sorta shocked but I approve/awesome lol.

 

[daydream]

Waluigi is all I need, but Kamek is a neat choice.

Edit: No Shy Guy is a bummer, though. The roster is not as big as I was expecting.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

No Shy Guy?

:/

My thoughts as well.

 

[lilty]

Pretty happy with this roster.

 

[Isotope]

Kamek? Awesome choice.

 

[Kazerei]

Kamek is a nice surprise

 

[atomic moth]

Oh god... no, no, no. What is with today's generation and a lack of knowledge of all Mario Brothers mythos.

...I'm 30. My generation doesn't read fan fiction. We played the games.

 

[Boney]

Where's Plum though!

 

[lt519]

Kamek is a nice surprise

Better be able to use his broomstick as a club!

So hyped for this game, my most anticipated of the next few months.

 

[Nori Chan]

No rosalina

 

[Zen_Arcade]

...I'm 30. My generation doesn't read fan fiction. We played the games.

Kamek was in the games. A lot.

The real travesty here is Birdo over Shy Guy or Rosalina.

 

[UpsideDownAce]

I would guess it would be the wand, would make more sense as a golf club..

But who knows -shrug-

 

[Soup Bar]

Does this still have the RPG elements from Advanced Tour?

 

[mrmickfran]

How do you make a roster without Rosalina?

 

[Gonzo The Great]

It's a travesty that a returning veteran of Toadstool Tour got in over Shy Guy and emo Peach? Never change, GAF.

 

[Salvadora]

How do you make a roster without Rosalina?

Easily.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Kamek!!! Hopefully they actually refer to her (it?) as Kamek instead of Magikoopa

 

[Zen_Arcade]

It's a travesty that a returning veteran of Toadstool Tour got in over Shy Guy? Never change, GAF.

It's a travesty anytime Birdo gets a slot over anyone. Especially the best Mario 2 enemy.

 

[Kolma]

What's a kamek?

Curious about this also.

What is wrong with gamers today...
And it can't be blamed on the youth cause Kamek is in more recent games like the Mario and Luigi series and others.
Shame on you all >:|

I'll have to get my SNES out and look for the games telling me his name is Kamek.

Ok this is a joke now.

Uh, geez, really?

http://www.mariowiki.com/kamek

Kameks been in all the yoshi island games, near all the mario party games, 3 of the mario and luigi games, both console NSMB games and sticker star.
Not really fanfiction...

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Coming off Mario Tennis I have to ask. What did Rosetta do to Camelot? Did she run over their dog or something.

Though come to think of it her appearing would require her to have a sport costume and I don't think the biker costume from Mario Kart is quite going to cut it...

I guess she could have an aversion to sports and physical activity too.

 

[blitzwolf215]

No Rosalina? WTH! At least Jr. is in it.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Kamek finally getting his due outside of the baseball games that everyone turned up in (and I mean everyone, even K.Rool reached that party).
It's been a long road since Kamek got dumped out of MK64 for Wario or whoever stole his thunder.

That aside where the hell is Shyguy?
Not exactly an exciting roster, I would've got a kick out of one of those Mario Golf 64 randomers turning up, "it's a Sonny day!".

 

[L~A]

Does this still have the RPG elements from Advanced Tour?

Doesn't look like it, though there's some characters customisation with items (a bit like Mario Tennis Open).

 

[ErrorMacro]

Damn, no Rosalina ... Kamek is cool though.

Well, I'm going with my bro Boo. Kamek might be cool as well.

Birdo, on the other hand, is complete trash...seriously, any other character would be better in its place.

 

[Tathanen]

...I'm 30. My generation doesn't read fan fiction. We played the games.

I'm 31. Let's not be absurd. I knew who Kamek was when he was sizing up all the Yoshi's Island bosses in 1995.

Back in the day it wasn't the weirdest thing to actually read a manual.

Yeah not really fan fiction but enemy names weren't really a thing in the NES and SNES days, other than goomba and koopa.

So it's just funny to me that people think there's something wrong with a new generation of gamers because they supposedly don't know the names of characters in a game.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amy50jg0hjg
He's been named in the video games multiple times after that too. It's hardly fan fiction.

 

[lewisgone]

Cool to see Kamek in. I always thought it was weird how he gets very little representation outside the main games, considering how important he is in Yoshi's Island, and even the main games, when he powers up the bosses.

Maybe Nintendo got a bit defensive after some people mocked them and said Rosalina was Nintendo's Lightning

 

[Effect]

The shithead magikoopa from Yoshi's Island

Is he different from the magic enemies that shows up in Mario (non-Yoshi) platformers or is it the same person minus the broom?

I am surprised Rosalina isn't in, even as a unlockable. The cast is really male heavy.

 

[Kandinsky]

Where's Plum though!

Smash Bros obsly.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Now that I compare it, the characters are mostly the same as the last game (toadstool tour).

The only differences are Birdo got moved to unlockable, koopa troopa, petey piranha and shadow mario got dropped while Bowser JR got moved to the starting cast. The only newcomers are Toad, Paratroopa and Kamek.

Not true, look at any of the NES/ SNES era instruction manuals and they have pages dedicated to enemies and their names.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

No Rosalina, No buy

 

[Lambtron]

Kamek is a fucking shitlord.

I look forward to playing as him.
