Nintendo Life writes: "Family Mini Golf, on the other, isn't like its predecessor. While it still retains many of the negative aspects of past titles, it should appear quite clear that it is the definite installment in the series. The single-player experience may fall flat on its face, but the multi-player is what really excels. The game is great to play with other family members, and there's enough content in the game to keep this the center of attention for quite some time".
Spring has sprung. Are you ready to get your golf on? Check out Nintendo’s downloads for the week.
Electronic Theatre reports on the latest additions to the European Wii Shop Channel, including Super Mario Kart on Virtual Console, AiRace: Tunnel on DSiWare, Family Mini Golf on WiiWare and much more, all available for download now.
And don't think Family Mini Golf is where it ends -- oh no, my friends. ARC System Works has at least three more "Family" series games where this one and its pitiful predecessors came from. IGN would offer development advice, or recommend that Aksys stop the DLC nonsense and offer more complete default offerings, but they know such pleas will fall on deaf ears. And that's especially unfortunate, because the developer/publisher partnership between ARC System Works and Aksys has produced some really solid games, like the recent Jake Hunter Detective Story: Memories of the Past on DS, and Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus here on Wii. So it's really only this WiiWare Family series that's cursed, not the companies' other efforts.
