New Nintendo Switch Mini Golf Game Uses Unique Joy-Con Motion Controls
A new mini golf game, Mini Golf Simulator, has just launched on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Priced at a budget-friendly $5.20, the game offers a fresh take on motion controls, using the Joy-Con controllers in an innovative way. Available exclusively on the North American and Japanese eShops, Mini Golf Simulator allows players to simulate the act of swinging a golf club by attaching wrist straps to the Joy-Con and swinging them like a putter.
Developed by Takahiro Miyazawa, the game makes full use of the Switch’s motion-sensing capabilities, offering a fun and unique experience for those seeking a new sports game. The Joy-Cons swing back and forth as the player mimics a golf swing, delivering a more immersive feel compared to traditional button controls.
Despite the rumors about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, which is said to feature magnetic Joy-Cons with trigger-like buttons, the current Switch’s motion controls continue to shine in games like Mini Golf Simulator. Fans can try the game now for a fresh, low-cost experience on the console.
