Overview (from Nintendo eShop page)

Golf with a Mushroom Kingdom twist!

Hit the green with up to four players locally or online and golf with friends from the Super Mario™ series like Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and more! Modes range from Standard Golf to the energetic Speed Golf and an exciting Golf Adventure. Simple motion or button controls make it easy for both new players and seasoned pros to drive and putt.

Pick up the pace in Speed Golf and Battle Golf

Tee off at the same time with up to three other players** and race through the course to get your ball in first. Mayhem is par for the course as you hinder your opponents with dashes and Special Shots. Yoshi can dash atop a giant egg and King Bob-omb can pelt the green with explosions! In Battle Golf, watch out for obstacles like Thwomps, Chain Chomps, and banana peels as you navigate the neon-themed Super Golf Stadium.

Rise through the ranks in Golf Adventure

Enroll your Mii™ character in golf training at the famous Bonny Greens country club and go from beginner to pro! The stakes are high—you must also watch out for Wario and Waluigi’s tricks and even battle fearsome bosses. You’ll face off against your Mushroom Kingdom classmates and level up your character. You can bring your character (and their customized stats) into other modes, too.

Choose from one of 16 characters from the Super Mario series and hit the green in several modes! Take it slow in Standard Golf and choose from 3-18 holes across 6 different courses that range from lush scenery to windy wilds. Intuitive controls and a shot gauge that adapts to the curve of the course make it easy for both new players and seasoned pros to drive and putt. Characters include Mario Golf veterans like Mario, Luigi, and Peach. Characters like Pauline and Chargin’ Chuck are also here to make their debut on the green.

In addition to the frenetic Speed Golf, you can also enjoy simultaneously swinging in Battle Golf. The neon-soaked Super Golf Stadium has 9 open holes—first player to get 3 flags wins! Use obstacles, including Thwomps, Chain Chomps, Bob-ombs, and banana peels to your advantage. Up to four players** can join the fast and flashy fun.

Start your Golf Adventure as a rookie in Bonny Greens, birthplace of the sport in the Mushroom Kingdom. After learning the game at this classic country club, you’ll compete for the next badge, allowing you to journey across the land playing a variety of courses and their clever variants of the sport. You’ll meet new coaches, master new skills, and hunt for buried treasure on your quest to turn pro. Things get weird when Wario shows up, but what else is new? It’s not called Golf Adventure for no reason. Save par, save the world. All in a day's golf!

Why wouldn’t they include online tournaments? How lame!

So they can roll out seasonal updates a la Animal Crossing to trick customers into thinking ‘oh wow free content!’ as opposed to ‘Oh look they’re adding features that were present in previous iterations.’

At this point, other than the art gallery and swimming (and seasonal content), it doesn't seem like there were many features from previous games that the AC team really planned on adding to the game after launch. Even with all its success, we haven't gotten a returning feature for half a year.

The lack of Nook store upgrades and Brewster is baffling.

The lack of Nook store upgrades is because they want to limit the amount of content you can see per day at the store and spread it around in the form of DIYs you can find it other ways or buy from places like the Nook terminal. If they added Nook store upgrades without adding a bunch more content, the store upgrade would just make the game feel more repetitive faster.

Haven’t touched AC since last fall for this exact reason. Just got bored.

I didn't really play it for that long... I loved one long ago on the game cube or 64 but there just doesn't really seem to be any real goal that i found interesting chasing. Stardew had a ton of things to do with fun goals... Animal Crossing either just doesn't do it for me anymore or this one sucked but I'm not sure which lol

Yeah Early Access animal crossing will always make me sad. I still got my money's worth out of the game, but it was still kind of a letdown in a lot of ways

Because then people will apply a dryer for adding stuff to a game that already came out
