Super Swing Golf: Season 2 (Super Swing Golf in Europe, and Swing Golf PangYa 2nd Shot!! in Japan) is a golf video game developed and published by Tecmo for the Wii. It was released in the North America on December 11, 2007. It is the sequel to Super Swing Golf , and both are based on the Korean free online multiplayer golf game, PangYa . [2]
Super Swing Golf: Season 2 includes an improved story mode, with an overworld map that does not necessarily follow events in a set order. [2] On top of the multiplayer Stroke Play, Match Play and Balloon Pop games that came with the first game, two new multiplayer games were added to the party mode. [2] The game has largely remained the same beyond these changes, the addition of new courses, and various cosmetic tweaks.
The game has two different control schemes; either using the Swing control scheme with the Wii Remote used as though it were a golf club, or using the Button control scheme [3] which is similar to the Mario Golf -style of control scheme. [3]
