Mario Golf Super Rush swings onto Nintendo Switch on June 25

On Wednesday Nintendo outlined the next six months of Switch gaming at its Nintendo Direct keynote, and the first big reveal from the Japanese gaming giant is a new Mario game: Mario Golf Super Rush. It’s not far off either, as Nintendo announced the game will hit the Nintendo Switch on June 25.

A trailer shown at Nintendo Direct, a keynote in which the company is announcing the next six months of Switch games, showed how the Joy-Con’s motion controls can be used to swing your club, and some of the modes involved. There’s a multiplayer Speed Golf mode, in which you and three other players race on the same course to sink your golf ball first. And there’s a Story Mode, in which your Mii rises the ranks from rookie to golf pro.
