Play Mini Putt (Japan) Online
Tiny NES golf where every putt feels like rolling a marble down a hill—one wrong nudge and your ball’s in the rough. Better with friends, especially when their "easy shot" yeets the ball into oblivion.
Mini Putt (Japan) is a golf game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, though it never saw a release outside of Japan. It was developed and published by SOFEL, a company known for a variety of NES titles. It fits in with the era's straightforward sports games that focused more on simple mechanics than graphical spectacle.
You control a golfer viewed from an overhead perspective, carefully aiming and adjusting the power of each putt to navigate the green. The main objective is to sink the ball in the hole on each course in as few strokes as possible. The game's signature mechanics include reading the slopes and curves of the green to predict the ball's path and avoiding obstacles like sand traps and water hazards that can ruin a good round. The pacing is deliberate, requiring patience, and the difficulty comes from the precise power control needed for each shot. It feels like a quiet test of concentration where a single mistake can undo several careful strokes.
