The Power of Patience: What 38 Years of Nintendo Golf Teaches Us: Side-by-side image comparing Nintendo's Golf game from 1984 and 2022. The 1984 version on the left shows a pixelated golfer and a top-down course layout with basic graphics and wind indicators. The 2022 version on the right displays a modern, 3D golf course with realistic visuals, a character preparing to swing, a detailed mini-map, and wind speed shown in meters per second. The image illustrates nearly four decades of design and technological evolution in the same game concept.

What happens when you build the same product for 38 years?

You get better.
Not overnight. Not viral. Just better.

In 1984, Nintendo released Golf.
Simple. Blocky. Barebones.

By 2022, it’s still the same game: on the surface.
But every detail is deeper.
The feel. The swing. The experience.

38 years of quiet iteration.

You don’t need more ideas.
You need more patience with the ones that work.
