Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots Launches on Nintendo Switch: Franchise Makes Long-Awaited Return

Bandai Namco has ushered in a new chapter for its popular golf game series by releasing Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch.

After years of captivating players on PlayStation platforms, the fan-favorite franchise makes a highly anticipated debut on Nintendo’s flagship console, aiming to bring arcade-style golfing action to a new generation of players. Debuting as a digital download on the Nintendo eShop, Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots returns with its signature blend of charm, intuitive controls, and engaging multiplayer modes.

Originally celebrated for its accessible yet skill-based golf gameplay, the series has earned a global following since its inception.

The Nintendo Switch edition seeks to honor these roots while leveraging the console’s versatile hardware for both solo play and lively multiplayer sessions. Players can expect a straightforward pick-up-and-play experience: using a simple three-button timing mechanic to line up and execute their shots.

This intuitive system allows both newcomers and experienced gamers to quickly find their swing, whether they're tackling the game’s solo challenges or competing with friends. One of the title’s standout offerings is its range of modes.

In Challenge Mode, players compete through a roster of colorful characters to climb the leaderboard.

Solo Rounds encourage golfers to perfect their technique and push for new personal bests.

Local multiplayer is supported for up to four players on a single system, fostering social competition in the same room.

Those looking for an even greater challenge can jump online and face off against opponents from around the world.

For a unique spin, Wacky Golf mode introduces creative twists on traditional golf gameplay, ensuring that sessions remain fresh and accessible for all ages. A spokesperson from Bandai Namco highlighted the studio’s commitment to accessibility and fun: The refined controls are designed so that "anyone can immediately start enjoying the game, while deeper mechanics offer ongoing mastery for long-time fans." This approach is reflected in the variety of game types and the seamless blend of solo and multiplayer content. With the release of Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch, Bandai Namco reinvigorates one of arcade golf’s most beloved franchises.

The game is currently available for digital purchase through the Nintendo eShop.

For collectors and dedicated fans, a physical edition is also being offered.

As the series celebrates its comeback on a new platform, Switch owners are invited to tee off and rediscover the joys of friendly competition on the green.
