Mario Golf developer announces Capcom published Wii Love Golf  photo

According to the latest issue of the Japanese videogame magazine Weekly Famitsu, Camelot Software (Mario Golf) has announced Wii Love Golf ... for the Wii, of course. The title will be published by Capcom in Japan, and will feature anime-style characters along the lines of what's seen in the Hot Shots series of games. 

Not surprisingly, the Wii remote will act as a golf club, with players pointing at the screen to choose direction. When the player swings, the game will switch to a first person view that simulates the swing of a real golf club, with the ball on the floor.

The game is schedule for a Winter release in Japan, but there's no word on whether or not Wii Love Golf will make its way to the states. If anything, it's almost a given that we'll see a Mario Golf title released for the Wii, and it wouldn't be surprising if Wii Love Golf were the template for such a title. A golf title just isn't a golf title unless Wario yells "CAMELOT!" when you start it up.

I was just at the driving range today, but summer is wearing out and fall isn't far away, I'd love to have something to keep my swing from getting rusty over the snowy months. God forbid I move to a warmer climate to play year round..

No, no, no, no, bad, bad, bad.
This pisses me off.
Is this just a port of "We love golf" for the PC that camelot made?
I'm just disgusted because I'd rather have Camelot work on a certain RPG game than work on A FUCKING GOLF GAME. Fucking market expansion.

Hopefully this is better than the Pedo-Camel Toe simulator that was Super Swing Golf.

The controls on that sucked ass.

The Wii might as well be called the sport simulator.
