Tee off as your favorite Mario or Mii™ character while challenging players online. Shoot into warp pipes and dodge piranha plants in Mushroom Kingdom areas or take a shot at the nature-themed courses.

The new Castle Club has both naturalistic and Mario-themed courses, a training area to hone your skills, and a pro shop where you can get unlockable gear and outfits. Test your skills in a gauntlet of course challenges, play with friends locally, or take on players around the world in online real-time tournaments.

Right on. I still very much want a Wiimote-compatible entry, though.

I don't see a swing meter in that video.
Not good.

[Finch]

The meter is in your mind.
From the *plink* noise, i'm assuming it's there somewhere. Maybe on the bottom screen?

[kedawa]

Oh I forgot that there are two screens.
I hope this turns out well.
The Mario Golf series has been pretty terrific so far.

If this has the RPG mode like the GBC & GBA versions I'll buy it day one.

If it's more like the Cube game I'll wait and maybe grab it cheap someday.

YES.

yes.

Also, where's my sequel to True Swing Golf? Best handheld golf game ever.

This screen shows the meter.

Cool.

I never played the GBC game, but I hated the RPG elements of Advance Tour.
It was just such a huge waste of time having to wander around and read a bunch of pointless dialogue just to get to the actual gameplay.
