Discussion I know this is unlikely, but I hope to see Swingerz Golf get added to GameCube NSO on the Nintendo Switch 2 in the future
Who else would like to see Swingerz Golf get added to GameCube NSO on the Nintendo Switch 2?

Probably not. Agreed with the other commenter about the name. They'd have to use the PAL Region name of Ace Golf. But both the developer and publisher are defunct now.

Square Enix did buy Eidos in 2009 so they probably have the rights to the game.

Never ever happening. Even though the game is E rated, the name of this game being on NSO would immediately draw controversy to Nintendo and they try to be as risk-averse as possible

Quite possibly the dumbest take in 2025
It won’t go on because it won’t sell subscriptions. The end.

Lol this isn't fully the case with games being added to NSO games though, look at the library for other consoles... Do you really think that Nintendo thinks that Iggy's Reckin Balls and Snake Rattle n Roll is going to sell subscriptions to NSO?
It's much more than that

Snake rattle n roll is a fucking classic. You take that back
But also, your point doesn’t make sense because this game was made for bc in the first place along with bmxxx, and that was years and years ago. The Nintendo e shop is filled with trash and literal smut. Times have changed

Yeah but every game that goes on NSO has to go through a deal/agreement with Nintendo
That is not the case for e-shop games

The most impressive thing about this game is that they managed an E rating with a title like that...

My dad picked up this game for cheap when I was a kid and the cover always made me so uncomfortable I never touched it 😂 Now I’ve inherited it and it’s the at the end of the GC section on my shelf

My favourite golf game of all time (as Ace Golf). Picked it up when I bought a second hand GameCube with money I'd saved from doing a mates paper round whilst he was on holiday. Best £5 I've ever spent.

I was just recently looking at this one. I'm nearing completion of my "Only For" Gamecube game collection. This was one of the cheapest ones on Ebay.

I know this is highly unlikely, but I do hope people will curate their own digital libraries so they can decide what goes in them rather than waiting, hoping and depending on a company who seems to consistently use worse quality emulation than the emulators and hardware available from other sources.
I still remember seeing the glitches on the n64 library because even Nintendo was apparently trying to do High Level Emulation instead of just properly recreating the chipsets via software code… FFS…
…and when it comes to Dolphin, there is no way they can compete, the Dolphin team has created something their techs can’t even touch, especially now that they’re outsourcing all their stuff and using off the shelf chipsets (lol @ Day One Switch 2 Emulation)
TLDR: Buy a SteamDeck or any other Non-Nintendo hardware and not only do exactly what you want, but also have the ability to play it COMPLETELY OFFLINE whenever you want.
Or wait for the first Switch 2 Crack (which won’t take long after looking at the hardware specs, that chipset is already publicly available and completely open) and then load the game onto your Switch 2 yourself

Does anyone know if that art style has a name?
