just read an article over an igncube of a game nintendo is developing called Legend of Golfer. They are sayin that some are speculating it to be nintendo returning to developing real sports game and this is a golf game. Others say it could be a rpg. I'm leaning towards it being an rpg (action or turned based) becuase the I dont see why if they are trying to make a return to realistic sports games, why would they use the world legend to describe someone by the name of Golfer which is clearly a fictional name.

Noone knows anything about it yet...All that is known is that Ninty trademarked the name quite a while ago...

I hope its a game somewhat like zelda but darker so they can finally please the crowd that wishes to darken zelda up and still keep the image of zelda unchanged.

Maybe it's like Paradious in that it plays like an existing franchise but is all goofy. In this case it would be a Zelda parody that involved collecting the missing golf balls for Princess Golfer.

Or maybe it's just bad Engrish. That wouldn't suprise me at all.

And I doubt that if Nintendo went back to making non-Mario sports titles they would make a golf game first. What's the point of having Mario Golf and another Nintendo golf game on the same console? And Nintendo has never made "realistic" sports games.

yeah I was just thinkin the same thing with mario golf already out. Its true also that if you were to try and get sports game back into your business, golf is not where you start. Besides, startin up a sports side for the company isnt too smart given how poorly they sell on the console and something of that nature is better left for the next gen where they can have the games come out as launch titles. As far as I can remember, left feild used to do the sports games for nintendo.

As for the game being a parody I aint sure. For that type of game, the graphics engine for it would have to be somewhat cartoony I would guess given its humorious nature and we all know how much controversy zelda had with wind wakers cartoon graphics. Using that type of engine and theme I dont think will sell well for a new original game even though I would love to see it happen. The idea is interesting and would be good to see given how much fun I had with conkers for n64 (the only game I can think of that was a parody as a whole lol).

I'm really hoping its a "darker" or more "mature" adventure/rpg resembling zelda. Given that it'll be a original game would allow them to not hold back and use some themes and presentation not possible with zelda becuase of the image it has to uphold. Given the success of Star Wars:KOTOR and the hype for the upcoming sequal plus Fable for xbox, I think now would be a good time to come out with something for the crowd wanting more so called mature games for gamecube.

Mario Golf is nicely mature enough. Checkout Peach's skirt.

excluding any bad translation or bad english, golfer is def a name. If it were speaking of a golfer in general it wouldve had an "a" or "the" before it . Thats what makes me believe its an action or adventure/rpg since it seems to be centered around one character like in the zelda games.

It's the codename for Nintendo's top secret game... one that will draw every male gamer from age 10 to 30.
That game is...

If it is a sports game it will probably be like an RPG/ sports hybrid. (there are a few games like that out in Japan.)

I am leaning towards it being a badly translated title for an RPG however. Guliver seems like a real possability, or maybe Gorfel, seeing as how L's and R's are sometimes transposed in Japanese translation. ( the worst example I can think of is Urien from SF3)

Story so far...

"In a world where knights live and die by the sword... A place where goblin tribes raid on innocents... A land longing for a hero... One child rises to fight off evil with his bastard golf club." *hero hits evil with golfball* "You got owned!"

This game sounds so dang mysterious, I dub it THE MEGAT0N!

Of course I'm not serious. But a game like that would kick ass, huh?

Unlocking additional Sandler characters (like Canteen Boy and Little Nicky) with plenty of "T" rated taunts and between holes a deathmatch with Bob Barker... let's get Camelot working on that right now.

JACKASS! AHAHAHAHAHA! JACKASS!
I'd hit that!

But seriously, I hope its a hilarious golf RPG-GTA hybrid for some reason. Probably the humour of beating people up with golf clubs while on the course. BLUDGEONING WITH SAND WEDGE - YOU GET A TROPHY! HUZZAH!

SuperLink666 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 10, 2004, 10:57:26 AM »

Okay its pretty much confirmed that Legend of Golfer translated properly is Legend of Ness as in EARTHBOUND.

Check N-philes and some other sites (tho PGC hasnt said anything because that site that announced the list of e3 games may be wrong)

Shift Key · « **Reply #22 on:** April 11, 2004, 02:20:58 AM »

Do you have a direct link? First you proclaim that it is Kid Icarus, then Ness. Show some facts (or someone else's speculation at least) to back it up.

EDIT: I found that thread at N-Philes, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Hard evidence will only suffice at this stage.

SuperLink666 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 11, 2004, 05:43:11 AM »

lol I was just kiddin about the Kid Icarus thing but people that have played the Japanese versions of earthbound say that they call him Golfer..

I guess we will have to wait and see

Mannypon · « **Reply #24 on:** April 11, 2004, 06:24:56 PM »

dam, things are lookin good now lol. I'd love another earthbound game or anything relating to it.
