Wii Sports Club - Golf

This sounds brilliant and I have no doubt Nintendo will eventually do a disc release with all the games bundled together - it just makes too much sense!

I am surprised - does sound good and this should be one of the selling points in a TV ad of sorts - buy the New Wii U,  a successor to the Wii, with the latest Wii Sports included!

A disc release or, better still, pre-installed on all Wii U systems, would be great.

Pre-installed - genius idea!

How much do they charge for these games individually?

Can you buy the full pack in one go to pre-purchase the games as they come out? Like pay £15 now to automatically download the next game in the series?

Still can't even see ads for these games drawing people in to Wii U, to be quite honest. Most people will see them and remember having played the hell out of them on Wii and not really see much reason to buy these new games. Even if they do look like improvements over the Wii versions, I think to the casual buyer, it's a case of "been there, done that" and they've moved on to the next fad - as happens with most casual media phases.

I could have sworn I put a note somewhere in the review that an individual sport costs nine pounds. You can also buy a cheaper day pass to access the entire selection, just in case you only want to have them for some event with family/friends. The software is also automatically downloaded via Spotpass and upon first booting up the game you activate a free day pass for all sports to try them out. When golf was added, they gave everybody a new free day pass which activates after the initial one runs out even if you'd start it for the first time today. That's what happened to me, automatically redeemed a day pass twice that unlocked the other two sports.

Waste of money unless you are going to spend a considerate amount of time on it, which 99% of WiiU gamers won't, I agree it would be best if it came free on the WiiU pre-installed.

Doesn't that apply to nearly all paid console games?

I think I'D get more time and fun out of any other game than this, aimed quite a bit to golfers

i'm not a golfer yet wii sports golf was the only sport in the wii game that had me turn on the console to play it solo in the early days of the Wii when all I had to play was wii sports and twilight princess .

This one interests me very much!! And I don't reall care for the other sports to be fair, so it would be a good purchase !

No it wouldn't! There is no complexity in the game, no storyline nor anything that makes it interesting at all. You may enjoy it but it isn't worth £9 at all and you can't convince me it it.

Not trying to convince you or anything lol . I don't get money from Nintendo if you buy one, I don't really care how you spend your money . I am however entitled to have an opinion, and I do like my golf game ^^.

If you don't want to spend money on one and try one out, I can suggest Albatros18/Pangya on PC. It's online, it's free, and has a cool community to boot !! But it won't make you feel like you're actually playing golf though , unlike this one.

I don't want to play any golf game at all I only play games that are exciting and innovative, golf on the WiiU isn't.

Why even comment on this then if you are not even interested in golf and think golf games aren't exciting enough for you XD ?

I didn't mention the fact that I'm mot interested in the sport, in fact I play it quite often and what I did mention was that the game wasn't worth £9 as it doesn't offer anything new to golf games nor anything that will keep us talking about the game in a month's time. I also mentioned that is should be preinstalled for free, after all during these times for Nintendo you'd think they would make it more worthy of buying - not that it isn't- as SirLink mentioned it takes practise and patience, that won't appeal to many people so why price it? It won't help the WiiU but at least if it is free people will think they're getting their money's worth from the WiiU. I'm sure other members have diagreed with you before.

It would be very interesting to see what impact adding these games to a future Wii U bundle would have. Could Nintendo get that spark alight again?

I didn't mention hating golf in any of my posts at all, but instead explained that a standard golf game, that even SirLink explained was a game that needed patience, isn't worth £9, because at this time for the WiiU you'd think Nintendo would try harder to make the WiiU seem more appealing- not that it isn't- so for that reason there is no way a game that is nowhere near as fun as other titles should cost £9. In a year from now I doubt anyone will talk about the game at all and that it should be installed on the WiiU for free
