Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots Makes Nintendo Switch Debut in 2025 For two decades, the Everybody’s Golf franchise has delighted PlayStation fans with its accessible, arcade-inspired approach to the sport.

Known for its vibrant visuals and pick-up-and-play gameplay, this beloved golf series is now set to make waves among Nintendo fans, as Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots officially launches for Nintendo Switch later this year.

The announcement, made during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, marks the first time the series will appear on Nintendo hardware, signaling a major crossover moment for both Sony and Nintendo’s dedicated gaming communities. A Lighter, Quirky Take on Golf for All Ages Unlike traditional golf simulations such as PGA Tour, Everybody’s Golf leans into fun, exaggerated gameplay and a bright, anime-inspired art style.

Featuring lightning-fast special shots, power-ups, and over-the-top course hazards, the series promises a lively and approachable sporting experience.

Nintendo describes the three-button shot system as "easy to learn yet challenging to master," ensuring accessibility for newcomers and depth for more experienced players. Diverse Game Modes and Customization The Switch release offers players multiple ways to enjoy their time on the green.

The single-player Challenge Mode invites golfers to face off against AI rivals in pursuit of new unlockable characters and courses.

For those seeking a twist, the newly introduced 'Wacky Golf' mode spices up standard play with unpredictable obstacles and unique items, offering a fresh take for returning veterans and first-timers alike. Multiplayer remains at the heart of Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots.

Up to four players can tee off together in local or online co-op, perfect for friends and family sessions.

In addition, players can personalize their avatar with a host of custom outfits and accessories, giving each contender a unique look—be it seriously sporty or delightfully eccentric. Highly Anticipated Nintendo Switch Debut While a precise release date for Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch has yet to be confirmed, Nintendo has stated the game will arrive in 2025.

This collaboration represents a rare and notable example of a long-running PlayStation franchise expanding onto Nintendo’s platform.

The move follows a series of multi-platform launches, bolstering the diverse selection of sports games currently available on the Nintendo eShop. Since its original debut in 1997, the Everybody’s Golf (previously known as Hot Shots Golf in the West) series has amassed a dedicated fanbase and achieved impressive sales milestones, especially across Japan and Europe.

With the new Nintendo Switch version, the franchise aims to reach an even wider audience, uniting fans of arcade sports titles from across both Sony and Nintendo ecosystems. Gamers can look forward to more details and gameplay reveals as the official release approaches.

Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots promises to offer both nostalgic and new experiences for players seeking a fun, accessible, and engaging take on virtual golf in 2025.
