Hot off the heels of this week's Nintendo eShop downloads, Nintendo have revealed some pretty exciting news around the upcoming release of Mario Golf: World Tour. This comes in the form of a demo for the upcoming game and of course a promotion linking in with the Game Boy Colour version of Mario Golf, which is set to hit the eShop on 29th May.
Stan at GameSpew: There’s so many Mario sports games out there, but we’ve narrowed them down to the top 10. The Premier League standard of Mario sports games, if you will.
As we live through the nostalgia of celebrating the 20th anniversaries of the system's best releases, it's a great time to revisit the Game Boy Color and play some old and new favorites! (As well as some original Game Boy releases celebrating their 30th!)

You could argue that the best part of many of the Mario sports titles is that they bring goofy, lighthearted aspects to those pastimes. Games like Super Mario Strikers and Mario Hoops: 3 on 3 all make dramatic changes to the sports they're portraying, capturing the attention of players who might not be interested in the sport alone. That being said, Mario Golf was effectively Mario's first foray into the world of professional sport - aside from Mario's Tennis on Virtual Boy - and is a much more sombre, serious take on the sport than many of his later games. Golf fans may find themselves enjoying the game's take on the sport, but anyone looking for Mario's unique brand of sports fun might not find much to get excited over.
YES! A demo. Now give us one for Smash at E3
