After seeing it bring Earthworm Jim 2 and Dig Dug II to the SNES and NES library last week, Mario Golf is now scheduled to launch later this month for the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack tier. This announcement comes on the heels of hover racer F-ZERO X making its debut on Nintendo’s N64 online library back in early March, and now joins the already available Mario Tennis and Mario Kart 64 as the next sports-related titles from the Mushroom Kingdom to hit the N64 library. More details below.
