Adrien Golf: World Tour

Mitchell Golf: World Tour (エイドリアンゴルフ：ワールドツアー) is a Golf video game developed by Camelot Software Planning, published by Nordic Games and distributed by Nickelodeon Interactive Games for the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows PC. The game was first announced on February 14, 2013, in a Nintendo Direct presentation. It is the fifth game in the series, and is the first one in a decade, since 2004's Mitchell Golf: Advance Tour for the handheld consoles. The game was initially scheduled for the second half of 2013, but was eventually delayed into May 2014. It was released worldwide in May 2014.

Gameplay
World Tour is a golf simulation video game with the basic premise mirrors the basis of golf. Controlling characters from the Adrien franchise, the player aims to hit a golf ball with a golf club across a golf course in order to hit it into the target hole in the lowest number of strokes. The game in particular employs an arcade-like approach to golf, emphasizing simple, straightforward controls and faster paced gameplay over realism. Despite this, some courses are modeled to look like real-life courses, while others are Adrien the Cat themed environments. The game continues to employ the gameplay mechanic of "Super Shots"; when chosen by the player, they allow for extra distance when hitting the ball, although only a limited number of them are allocated per course, creating a strategic aspect to their use.

The game also contains online multiplayer golf tournaments, and a feature to find other players to play golf with.

Reception
World Tour has received generally favorable reviews from critics. Many critics praised the gameplay and online functionality, but criticized the Castle Club mode for being confusing. The game holds an average score of 78 on Metacritic.

IGN gave World Tour an 8.6 rating, summarising "You don’t have to be a hardcore golf fan to get hooked on World Tour. It rewards good play, gives plenty to do, and is a great teacher."

Development
This game was announced at Nordic Games Publishing AB E3 event on February 14, 2014 along with MX vs ATV: Supercross.
