Also announced during today’s Nintendo Direct stream is the addition of golf to Wii Sports Club, available starting today on Nintendo’s eShop.
Just like the other sports the Club currently offers — tennis and bowling — Golf supports Motion Plus. Furthermore, you can place your Wii U controller on the ground and see your golf club represented on the touch screen, allowing for a finer adjustment of the swing. Just don’t leave it on the ground, because that’s an accident waiting to happen.
For those with good memory and a long-running interest in golf games, this latest addition also includes a nine-hole course from Famicom Golf: US Course. Released back in 1987, it featured courses based on real life counterparts from the United States, and the game’s development was overseen by Satoru Iwata himself.
