Those that picked up an early DS unit may recall the pack-in experience Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt. Instead of going with a complete game, this was more of a demo that offered a look into what the final product would become.
Even though it wasn’t a full title, it turns out there was some controversy when it came to offering it to consumers.

May is just now underway, which means there’s an opportunity to earn a new Ranked Match reward in Mario Golf: Super Rush for Luigi. This time around, players can unlock the character’s classic look with overalls as pictured above.
Just like in previous months, players will need to reach the rank of A- or above in the online Ranked Match mode by accumulating points. Earn points by playing these types of online matches, doing well in them, and defeating higher ranked opponents. You can then use Luigi’s overalls by going to the character select screen in Mario Golf: Super Rush, hovering over the characters, and pressing the “L” button to swap.
