Mario Golf: Super Rush and the “free updates” model
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
I had a good time playing Mario Golf: Super Rush earlier this year when the game launched. New modes such as Speed Golf and Battle Golf were nice additions, particularly for multiplayer matches. But after a while, I saw myself rapidly drifting away from the game and simply waiting for more updates as Nintendo promised.
I must confess that now, after all the updates, I feel a little disappointed with the game in general, and that’s what I talk about in the video below. I go over how the “free updates” model that Nintendo has been using for a while now may actually be doing more bad than good for the games developed by Camelot. You can watch the full video down below and feel free to share your experience with the game.

Obtaining this reward is actually pretty simple. You’ll just need to reach the rank of A- or above by the time December ends. You can increase your rank by playing matches, competing well against others, and defeating higher ranked opponents. After unlocking Mario’s overalls, you can go to the select screen in Mario Golf: Super Rush, hover over the character, and press the “L” button to swap outfits.

A few developers behind Mario Golf: Super Rush have opened up about the game, including how the title came to be and the series’ history, the opening movie, Swing Mode, change in mechanics the franchise has seen previously, and more.
You may recall that we recently posted some excerpts from a Nintendo Dream interview conducted an interview with some of the lead staff involved with the development of Mario Golf: Super Rush. Camelot’s Hiroyuki Takahashi (Producer) and Shugo Takahashi (Director), along with Nintendo’s Shinya Saito (Producer) and Tomohiro Yamamura (Director) gave readers a peak behind the development curtain by talking through their experiences making the game.
Since the interview is quite lengthy, we’ve decided to split it up into two parts. Our translation of the first half can be read below.

Mario Golf: Super Rush players can now obtain a Boo visor as part of this month’s Ranked Match reward. To unlock it, you’ll need to reach A- or higher in the mode. Players can then choose Boo wearing a visor while selecting a character.

In the online competitive mode, players choose their controls and character, then select Standard Golf or Speed Golf to be automatically matched up with other players. Participate in Ranked Match to earn and collect monthly match points to increase your rank. Nintendo resets the monthly match points, rank, and global ranking at the end of every month, though it’s possible to review past records.
