Go Vacation coming to Switch on July 27th
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
This is like music to my ears!! I wanted this when I had the Wii u , but was really hard to get hold of an imported copy. I take it this is getting launched worldwide??? Is this going to be Switches equivalent to WII Sports Resort?
Buy Sushi Striker and Mario Tennis Aces in June and Octopath Traveler in July.
Three brand new games, all published by Nintendo.
If you can't stand the idea of a bunch of ports in this modern age of video games, well, sorry.
I believe the skiiing game and a few others used the balance board. The same team that did this also did We Ski which used it.
Anyway, sorta excited for this. If only for the inclusion of fishing. I really wish we could get a port of Yuji Naka's Fishing Resort, which is a real hidden gem.
Yeah, Fishing Resort is badass. Unlike Go Vacation, I actually got ahold of a copy of that game and it's great.
You talk about this all the time, so I'm giving you some suggestions.

Probably not given Nintendo's publishing and likely producing it.
I actually saw my copy of the wii version the other day and was thinking about hooking the wiiu to play it. Not sure I will buy it again, but I had a lot of fun with the original and if the price is right I might consider it.
Also add me to the list of people that would like to see Fishing Resort ported over.

Considering Nintendo is involved with this release, probably not anytime soon.
What. No really, what?
Go Vacation was a hidden gem on the Wii, overlooked due to the piles of shovelware sports titles and minigame collections that poisoned the well over the years, not in a million years did I think that Namco would remember it existed let alone bring it to Switch.

If it works well with single joycon+tabletop, it would support more than the family demographic.
They are more likely to do a new game than port Sports / Resort.
I honestly had never heard of this game before, but from what you folks are telling me about the way it's set up and the leisurely pace, this sounds like the kind of game that can fill the niche that Endless Ocean did for me.
Speaking of Endless Ocean, what is Arika up to these days? As unlikely as it is, I would love to see another one.
I'm not sure how I've never heard of this but I am all over it. Looks awesome!!! My wife and I love co-op games like this. We played the shit out of Nintendo Land on the Wii-U. Especially, Metroid Blast (aka one of the secret best co-op games of all time).

Different people different tastes, but this was a fun, pretty good quality game at the time.
They've been hard at work on Fighting Layer EX. Would love to see Nintendo reach out to them after they're done with that for a new Endless Ocean game, especially since the hardware would make much larger areas possible.
This just makes me bummed that we're not getting a true Wii Sports Resort sequel developed by Nintendo. They nailed golf, frisbee golf, 3pt basketball contest, bowling, jetski, etc. so well.
In Go Vacation is there similar games to Wii Sports Resort? Namely, bowling and golf (not mini golf)?

Well it was a quite successful game for them (and if I recall correctly, had Nintendo like legs in Japan for quite a while).
I bought this for the Wii about 3 years ago. It was okay for a while but got boring, so I sold it on. A lot of the events are very similar, just re-skinned.
I recall our favourite activity was racing down from the top of the mountain on large inflatable tyres. This was not one of the official 50 events. There is inflatable tyre race but it is very short. The open world nature means you can do what you want, so we got the inflatable tyres and just whizzed down the mountain. What I am trying to say is most of the 50 events are pretty dire, but as it is fairly open world you can make up your own.

Hm... that point doesn't say new on Switch, but I wonder if it means there will be games that don't use motion controls this time? At least racing and such really could do with standard control options.

It actually seems like Nintendo is involved with the port. They're listed in the copyright.
In the NoA press release, it states several games have the option for motion controls, which leads me to believe standard controls will be the norm for every game (or at least the majority of them).
It is published by Nintendo so there is always a chance. Hopefully they have more sense than that though.
I've never seen this game before.
I see people on here beign excited for this.
I have no idea whether these people are joking or not.

For me it totally looks like Everybody's Golf: the silly characters in a realistic environment, the idea of being open world,... it doesn't have the same depth but that's not the point.
In retrospect i strongly disagree with this review.
Still today in 2018, there is an audience for Wii Sports-like / casual party games, the idea of being open world looks fun, it makes sense cause you are supposed to be in vacation.
Haha, I'm a bit surprised at the positive reactions it's getting. I've never played it, but it looks like a bargain bin mini game collection. I'll keep an eye on it!
