Play Harukanaru Augusta 2 - Masters (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Harukanaru Augusta 2 - Masters is one of those SNES golf games that somehow nails the vibe of a lazy weekend round—except you’re playing it on a couch in 1995. The greens look surprisingly lush for a 16-bit game, and the swing mechanics are simple but satisfying: hold the button to power up, release to hit, and pray you didn’t overshoot the wind adjustment.

It’s got that weirdly addictive quality where you tell yourself “just one more hole” and suddenly it’s been an hour. The courses are varied enough to keep things interesting, and there’s something charming about the way the pixelated golfers celebrate a good shot with an exaggerated fist pump. If you’ve ever lost an afternoon to Mario Golf, this Japanese-exclusive sequel scratches the same itch, just with a slightly more serious (but still fun) tone.

Honestly, it’s a shame this never made it overseas—it’s the kind of game that makes you wonder how many other great SNES titles got stuck in Japan.
