We Love Golf Preorder Nets Wiimote Body Bag

We Love Golf is coming out on July 15th, and if you preorder now at Gamestop, Game Crazy, Circuit City, Toys R Us, the Official Capcom Store, and several other fine gaming retailers you can get your hands on this snazzy red Wiimote body bag! Now you can recreate scenes from the hit television show CSI: Mushroom Kingdom, zipping up your dead controller in this stylish corpse sack before loading it into the Wii ambulance peripheral and spraying the area for fluids.

Pretty nifty preorder bonus if you ask me, but what the hell does a body bag have to do with golf?

Capcom Reveals New We Love Golf! Costumes

The Western release of Capcom's We Love Golf! for the Nintendo Wii approaches, and with two exclusive characters in the release, Capcom had to come up with two special Capcom classic-inspired costumes for each one, so they decided to let the players choose.

Out of a field hat contained choices such as Roll Caskett from Mega Man Legends and Captain Commando (my choices), the votes came out in favor of Morrigan from the Dark Stalkers series and Ken from Street Fighter. Morrigan will be portrayed by the lovely Stephanie, while Mark will don a red gi and blond locks, becoming the first African-American Ken Masters.

It may look a bit odd to you, but I used to have a black friend who dressed up as Ken for anime conventions, so these screens just bring back fond memories.

We Love Golf Details

While We Love Golf wasn't playable at Capcom's Digital Day we did get a few more details on the Camelot Software developed game. Two new exclusive characters are being developed for the western market although there was no announcement about who they will be. We did find out however the results of the vote on Capcom's site concerning two unlockable Capcom themed costumes. Not surprisingly, Ken and Morrigan will be joining the ranks of Arthur, Chun-Li and Jill Valentine as unlockable costumes for your golfing characters. The gameplay will be your standard golf game fair with the Wii remote being used like a golf club. Online play will be available through Friend Play and World Play modes

Gallery: We Love Golf

Swing into action with all these screens from We Love Golf. If you look close you can find one of the unlockable Capcom character costumes. Because nothing says golfing more than dressing up in a Capcom inspired costume! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to don my Leon Kennedy outfit and go shoot a few rounds.

Vote For Capcom Costumes in We Love Golf

The upcoming golf game We Love Golf will be featuring alternate Capcom costumes for each of its ten characters. The European and US versions of the game will be getting two new characters and Capcom is asking for your help in deciding what classic costumes will be available for them. For the male character you can choose between Frank West (Dead Rising), Balrog (Street Fighter), Guy (Final Fight), Ken (Street Fighter), Dhalsim (Street Fighter), and Captain Commando (Bionic Commando). The ladies also have a nice list to choose from including Cammy (Street Fighter), Morrigan (Darkstalkers), Rouge (Power Stone), Roll Caskett (Mega Man Legends), and Ashley Graham (Resident Evil). You can vote for yourself in the sidebar of Capcom's Official blog. What will be your picks for classic Capcom golf fashion? Personally, I'm voting for the Frank West boxer briefs ensemble.

How's We Love Golf Putting Coming Along?

At TGS, we checked out We Love Golf. While the game looked nice, putting was a mess. At the Games Festa, we checked out the latest playable build. Since no one was waiting in line, the Capcom person at the demo kiosk told me I could play as long as I wanted. That, for me, was about twenty minutes or so — long enough to get a decent feel for the basic mechanics. The Capcom rep. was quick to point out that I should approach the game was playing actual golf, but rather, just a video game. So all natural instincts about using the Wii-mote to swing and smash golf balls went out the window. More »

We Love Golf Dated and Priced

We Love Golf, Capcom's punny Wii golf title from developer Camelot, has been dated for Japan. That date is December 13th, and the title will retail for ¥6090 (US $53). We got hands-on with the game at TGS and all agreed: The putting sucks. Really, really sucks. If Camelot fixed that, I might pick up this one. If not, forget it. Oh, and that up there? That's the box art.

We Love Golf! Hands On Impressions and Control Scheme

We Love Golf! is not Wii Sports Golf rehashed. You still swing the remote to swing your club like you do in WSG, but that's about where the mechanical similarities end—you know, aside from what's inherent to them both being golf games. It's deeper, enough so to justify being a whole game on its own. It's also harder. It took me a round to get going, and even after that putting was still a total bitch. Why? It's kind of hard to explain, but it has to do with the meter at the bottom of the screen that indicates your swing's power. It's not, to use that most overused of Wii control scheme descriptions, inherently intuitive. More »

We Love Golf! To Love American Style

Capcom announced today that the recently announced We Love Golf! will indeed hit North American Wiis. Developed by Camelot Software Planning—the Japanese developer whose video game golf pedigree includes Hot Shots Golf, Mario Golf, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Golf: Advance Tour, among others—We Love Golf! will bring the big-headed brand of Camelot virtual links to Wii-motes in 2008.

If you've grown weary of Wii Sports Golf, Super Swing Golf, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 and find that Super Swing Golf Season 2 and King of Clubs aren't meeting your future golf needs, you now have another option. Golf clap-worthy press release follows.

Japan's Marilyn Monroe Promotes Wii Golf Game

Camelot developed We Love Golf! needs a spokesperson. We Love Golf! has one! That's bikini model Waka Inoue, who is noted for having the same bust/waist/hip measurements as Marilyn Monroe. She's slightly on the wain popularity-wise (she is 27), but still one of the more famous idols. Expect her (and her Monroe measurements) in a slew of We Love Golf! ads. If Hot Shots Golf-clone plus Nintendo Wii plus curvy idol isn't a sure fire Japan hit, we don't know what the hell is. More »
