Post by: Shaymin on August 17, 2020, 05:56:47 AM

It won't be the "available on the eShop today" game.

Originally announced for summer 2020, Sports Story has been officially delayed.

Announced in the December 2019 Indie World for a summer 2020 release, the release date was updated to "TBA" on the Nintendo game list over the weekend. Developer Sidebar Games confirmed the delay officially in a Tweet today.

The game has become rather ambitious and we are excited about how it could turn out. But the price is currently being paid as we try to make our plans into reality. We are eager to reveal the results of these past 2 years so please look forward to future updates.

The prequel, Golf Story, launched in September 2017 for Switch.

Good. At launch, Golf Story had a bug that would shrink you inside a club house and soft lock your game. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdDrlvViZnE)

Sports Story needs more time in the oven to prevent this situation.

Is this a Switch exclusive?

Looks like it, at least for now. Their previous game, Golf Story, hasn't left the Switch, and their press kit (https://sidebargames.com/presskit.html) mentions no plans to do so. Granted, said press kit still has the Sports Story release date listed as Q2 this year, so maybe plans will change.
