Mario Golf is coming to Switch Online next week

Mario Golf is coming to Switch Online next week.

Nintendo has confirmed Mario Golf as the next N64 game coming to its Switch Online subscription service. The classic title will be added on April 15.

The 1999 sports game, developed by Camelot Software Planning, lets you play golf with a variety of characters from the Mario universe, including everyone’s favorite red plumber himself, as well as some of his friends and foes. Each character provides a unique gameplay experience with his or her own power and swing style.

Upon its release, the N64 classic was praised for its adequate portrayal of golf despite its cartoony theme.

Mario Golf’s addition will bring the total number of N64 titles available via Switch Online to 14. Recent releases to the service include F-Zero X in March, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask in February, and Banjo Kazooie in January.

Nintendo 64 games on the Switch are available only to subscribers of Switch Online’s Expansion Pack tier. The subscription top-up also adds access to Sega Genesis games and DLC for existing Switch games, including Animal Crossing: New Horizons and additional courses for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

7 best Nintendo Switch sports video games to play right now

Sports games really show you why the Switch is the most versatile console out there.

Given the pick-up and play portability of the Nintendo Switch, it makes sense that there are already several brilliant sports games to play on the device. It’s just too easy to snap out those Joy-Cons and get into a game quickly, even if you’re chilling with a group of friends in the great outdoors. This lends itself naturally to sports games that multiple players can enjoy in small bursts.

But the beauty of Nintendo’s pocket powerhouse is that it’s just as easy to slip into a dock at home and get the whole family involved in some motion-controlled sporting action. Even if you’re a solo player, you could hunker down with a management sim for a few hours before bed to get your sporting fix. The console’s versatility is its superpower, but you may be wondering which sports games you should buy to take advantage of its features.

In this article, we’re going to run through some of our favorite Nintendo Switch sports games, with a focus on providing a variety of titles that are fun for the whole family.

The new ‘Mario Golf: Super Rush’ has some wild new game modes

This looks wild.

When I was in college, aside from the many, many hours played on Mario Kart 64 (yes, I’m old, I’m aware of that), my friends and I spent a surprising amount of time on Mario Golf.

And if we had the features in the upcoming Mario Golf: Super Rush, it probably would have been A LOT more time.

The new trailer for the Switch game dropped, and WOW does it look good. There’s the normal, typical golf mode to play, but there’s also a wild speed golf mode where you run against your opponents to finish a hole, complete with moves to get you ahead. Battle golf and a story-mode are also pretty cool looking:
