Of the games unveiled during the most recent Nintendo Direct, Mario Golf: Super Rush was one that many fans were likely not expecting. It has been nearly seven years since the last installment in the Mario Golf series, and Mario Golf: Super Rush looks like it could make for fun multiplayer experience. Now, with Nintendo gearing the game up for its release in June, the studio revealed the game's official box art.

The Mario Golf series ranks high within some of the best golf games of all time, but it has been awhile since one properly released. In fact, up until recently, it had been a long time since any sports-themed Mario game had released. Now, with the release of a new Mario Golf game on the horizon, Nintendo has shown its fans what the box art of the newest entry will look like.

Mario Golf: Super Rush is an upcoming installment in the Mario Golf series, set to be the sixth installment overall in the series. First announced during a Nintendo Direct broadcast on February 17, 2021, the game will be released for the Nintendo Switch on June 25, 2021. Mario Golf: Super Rush game is coming to Switch on June 25, Nintendo announced today. Ponyo eng dub full. The long-overdue revival was revealed during today's Nintendo Direct along with a trailer breaking down some of.

In addition to Miitopia's box art revealed a few days ago, earlier today Nintendo revealed the box art for Mario Golf: Super Rush. The art itself is very minimalistic, primarily showing Mario hitting a golf ball with a few other characters in the background. It certainly features the same level of color and polish that's expected of a first-party Mario game.

For many fans of the Mario sports games, the upcoming release should be fairly exciting, considering the only other Mario sports game to release on Nintendo Switch is Mario Tennis Aces. From what little has been shown of this game so far, it seems that Nintendo is trying to distinguish this game from previous titles, considering when the central focus of the game is golf there's only so much that can be done.

Although, it does beg to question if the Nintendo community will see the return of any other Mario sports series. While Mario Golf is one of the better known sports-related Mario franchises out there, it has been over a decade since a new Mario Strikers or Mario Sluggers game was released. Those series saw their fair share of popularity back when they first released, so it makes one wonder if the either is due for a new release on Nintendo Switch.

In any case, it will be interesting to see how successful this game is once it releases. While the game was revealed in February, Mario Golf: Super Rush is still five months away from officially releasing. So, it's safe to assume that more content for the game could be revealed within that time. Especially considering the website for Mario Golf: Super Rush leaked a new character not too long ago.

Mario Golf: Super Rush releases on June 25, 2020 exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

Mario Golf Switch Release Date

Nintendo announced today during its Nintendo Direct presentation that a new Mario Golf, subtitled Super Rush, is coming to Switch. It will launch on June 25.

Mario Golf is one of the most popular Mario sports franchises that Nintendo makes. The Switch already got a Mario Tennis title with Mario Tennis Aces in 2018.

The last Mario Golf, World Tour, came out for the 3DS in 2014. This new game on Switch lets use normal button controls or motion controls with a single Joy-Con controller.

Super Rush also has an RPG-based story mode where you play as a Mii. The much-loved Mario Golf: Advance Tour for the Game Boy Advance also had an RPG-based story mode.

And it has a speed mode in which everyone in your group tees off at the same time and then races down the fairway.
