It's been a while since a new Mario Golf game arrived, but thanks to the latest Nintendo Direct, fans now know when to expect Mario Golf: Super Rush. The latest entry in the long-running series will arrive on the Nintendo Switch later this year. Here's everything fans need to know about the game and its release date.
The Mario Golf series goes all the way back to the NES era of gaming, and the most recent installment - Mario Golf: World Tour - was released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2014. After seven years without a new Mario Golf game, Super Rush is arriving in 2021 to answer fans' calls. A new Mario sports game had been rumored as coming to Switch in early 2021 already, and many people had speculated that it would be a new Mario Golf title - and it appears they were right.
During the latest Nintendo Direct, the company announced that Mario Golf: Super Rush would be arriving on Nintendo Switch later this year. The game will have a number of popular Mario characters, including Peach, Yoshi, and Bowser. There will also be various game modes, including a Speed Golf mode that adds a racing element into the standard golf game. Overall, it looks like Mario Golf: Super Rush is a big comeback for the sports spin-off series.
