Mario Golf: Super Rush review

System: Switch
Release date: June 25, 2021
Developer: Camelot
Publisher: Nintendo


Mario and sports have had a symbiotic relationship since the early days of the NES, giving people at home arcade twists on the classic physical games of skill. Outings in the likes of golf, tennis, soccer/football, baseball, and all the way to the Olympics have seen Nintendo’s all-star roster challenge each other in a variety of ways on virtually every platform. Mario Golf: Super Rush now sees Nintendo’s first golf outing since World Tour on 3DS back in 2013 and brings with it a slew of new features that make it arguably one of the best entries in all of the Mario sports series. Super Rush features not only a return to form, but refreshing gameplay thanks to its multiple modes and new takes on golf between Speed Golf and Battle Golf.

According to Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, the team working on Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin spent “a long time deciding what to do with the graphics at first.”

Tsujimoto, along with director Kenji Oguru, spoke about the visual style during the Monster Hunter Stories 2 Special Pre-Launch Program. Oguru mentioned wanting to appeal to a wider audience compared to the first entry on 3DS. The character models were a big focus, and the team ended up going with more realistic body proportions. 

Here’s the exchange between Tsujimoto and Oguru, which also includes some talk about adding in co-op:

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin

Here’s something a little bit confusing when it comes to Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin. For the physical version, a download may be required.

Nintendo Everything reader PSI Wind works at a retailer, and shared a couple of photos with us of the game’s box. On the front, there’s a clear notice towards the bottom stating “download required”. There’s been nothing about this from Capcom officially, and boxart images posted to retailer websites do not have that label.

Astria Ascending

Thanks to retailer listings, we now have confirmation that Astria Ascending will be sold physically on Switch. It should be out right alongside the digital version in September.

Pre-orders for the physical release are now starting to open. It’s currently up on Amazon here and Amazon Canada here.

Astria Ascending launches for Switch on September 30.

Atlus has released the latest demon showcase video for Shin Megami Tensei V. Today’s video, featuring Sraosha, can be found below.
