VGChartz's Stephen LaGioia: "Indie developer Sidebar Games surprised Nintendo fans in late 2017 with perhaps one of the biggest sleeper hits on the console - Golf Story. Along with its humble yet charming 2d aesthetic, the game stood out with its unique blend of role-playing and golfing gameplay. The experience was an enjoyable hodgepodge of amusing dialogue, an inspiring plot, and a distinctly contemporary setting. Fast forward to the present and the studio looks to up the ante with an even more epic adventure featuring a range of different sports."
Sidebar Games has released an update for their popular game Sports Story, which has brought the game to version 1.0.4.
BLG writes, "Sports Story, the follow-up to the cult classic Golf Story, is one of my most anticipated titles from 2022. Developer Sidebar Games deliver a captivating and unique RPG experience within a golf game. So expanding to include more sports, adventures, and content seems like a no-brainer. Yet the sudden December 23rd release indicates a significant problem: this game is not ready for prime time."
A player has found a hidden dev room in Sports Story, which reveals that the development was tough and had a forced feature creep.
Holy... Someone even added the dialogues of developers throwing accusations all around among themselves and the dirty laundry... This is so wrong... I love it!
