    The presentation in general is great, and the challenge level is oddly compelling. This is a difficult game to put down.

    Neo Turf Masters is a long way off being the most authentic golf simulation ever made but that doesn't diminish its intrinsic appeal; the gameplay is instantly gratifying and the challenge considerable, especially if you want the satisfaction of coming top on each of the four courses. However, like so many games developed for an arcade environment it is perhaps best sampled in short bursts, either solo or with a friend; there's no career mode to speak of and if you don't see the appeal of bettering your own score or playing with other people, you might get bored within the space of an evening.

The graphics look nice (especially when you add scan lines) and the gameplay is simple but quite addictive. The voice acting is a bit cringy in places but in some ways this adds to the 'retro' appeal of the game! $9 is perhaps a bit expensive for a game with limited long-term replay value, but this is a bargain if you can pick it up on sale!

The visuals hold up remarkably well, as does theNeo Turf Masters is the quintessential arcade golf game, for whatever that's worth. The visuals hold up remarkably well, as does the fast-paced action -- all of which must have been remarkable to Neo Geo fans in the 1990s. Until Nintendo decides to bring a Mario Golf game to the platform, this is (as of this writing) the best golf option on the Nintendo Switch. (I don't count the excellent Golf Story as a golf game per se, as it's really more of a fantasy golf RPG.) Full Review »

    Classic arcade golf on the Switch. It’s not realistic in any way, the graphics are what you would expect from a game made in the mid 90’s,Classic arcade golf on the Switch. It’s not realistic in any way, the graphics are what you would expect from a game made in the mid 90’s, because that’s when it was made. It’s a good laugh and will provide you with the entertainment you need. As a retro freak I couldn’t let this one slip through my fingers when they ported it to the Switch. Full Review »
