RPGolf Legends getting a physical release in Japan on Switch with English support
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
RPGolf Legends has now been confirmed for physical release on Switch – at least in Japan.
When the game is ready to go this month, Kemco will be distributing the title largely as a digital release. A physical version won’t be offered in North America or Europe (at least at launch), though the boxed copy from Japan will suffice.
Like all Switch games, RPGolf Legends is region free and that applies to the physical version as well. Since English is supported, you can play through it just like any other title.

Mario Golf: Super Rush giving NES Open Tournament Golf Mario outfit as Ranked Match reward
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
It’s a new month, and now that Mario Golf: Super Rush has reset its Ranked Match for January 2022, players can get their hands on a new reward based on Mario’s classic look in NES Open Tournament Golf.
Just like with previous events, there’s not a whole lot involved with the unlock process. Players only need to reach the rank of A- or above within the next month. This can be done by playing matches online in Ranked Match, playing well against others, and defeating higher ranked opponents. The NES Open Tournament Golf outfit can be selected once unlocked by going to the select screen in Mario Golf: Super Rush, hovering over the character, and hitting the “L” button to swap outfits.
