Nintendo Dream recently conducted an interview with some of the lead staff involved with the development of Mario Golf: Super Rush and shared some interesting news. 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.
We know that the final subtitle ended up being “Super Rush”, but another name was considered during development. Following the success of Mario Tennis Aces, it turns out that “Mario Golf Aces” was also considered as a potential name for Mario Golf: Super Rush, according to news shared with the Japanese magazine.
Below is our translation of their thoughts on why it was considered and how they ultimately landed on Super Rush:
In an interview with Dengeki Online, the developers of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity commented on the game’s DLC.
According to co-producer Masaki Furusawa, the decision to make DLC was decided early on. He told the site:
If there was ever a time for a new library of games to join Nintendo Switch Online, it would probably be right around now, so something like Game Boy could make sense. No new NES games were added during the latest update in July. Furthermore, Nintendo seems to be running low on heavy hitters for SNES titles. So what could be next?
N64 followed the SNES in terms of Nintendo generations, but it’s not exactly a lock for Switch Online. Nintendo has shown more interest in remaking and individually re-releasing N64 titles such as Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, and Super Mario 64’s inclusion in Super Mario 3D All-Stars on Switch. Game Boy and Game Boy Color could be possible for Nintendo Switch Online. Or what if those systems were skipped over for the GBA?
What do you think the future of classic titles could be for Nintendo Switch Online? Let us know in the comments below.

Over the past few years, the turn-based strategy genre has become awash with new entries in some of its most landmark franchises; in retrospect, it should have seemed inevitable that someday, eventually, King’s Bounty would return on modern hardware. But I doubt that even longtime fans of this dormant franchise had expected to witness such an ambitious reinvention of the series’ name. Sure, at its heart, King’s Bounty II is still a grid-centric, turn-based strategy game with a traditional medieval setting, but with this new release, 1C Entertainment and Prime Matter have attempted to integrate more immersive role-playing elements, a grander world, and a completely different pace than the last game in the series. And while some of these new ideas can be well-executed individually, I left King’s Bounty II feeling unimpressed by the package as a whole.
