But you can also take your Switch out with you. Q: Isn’t it true that Sports Story was originally planned for a home release only?Ī: Yes, it's true. Q: Which Sidebar team is doing this game – the same people that did Golf Story or a new team?Ī: This game is important to us so we've got our main team working on it. It seemed a lot easier before we started doing it. Q: Wouldn't it have been easier to just make “Tennis Story” instead?Ī: Yes, but it's far too late for that now. If we put it on a cartridge, we'll just put the whole thing on there.
Q: Did you have to reduce sound quality due to cartidge space, and will you remove 25% of the game and offer it as a download to use a smaller cartridge?Ī: Sports Story will be available for download from Nintendo eShop. It wouldn't do us any good to reveal other games so far ahead.Ī: We like to think of it as a separate game that features the same characters and takes place shortly after the events of Golf Story.

Assuming Sidebar can sort out the worst of the technical issues, we’d give Sports Story a light recommendation to anyone looking for a quirky take on a sports RPG, but this one doesn’t deserve a spot at the top of your list.Sports Story interview with leading journalist If you loved the original, you’ll likely find Sports Story to be a fun-enough follow-up, but there’s no denying that it feels like quite a letdown after years of waiting. Despite its shortcomings, there’s certainly still an enjoyable game on offer here, but you’ll have to decide for yourself whether it’s worth the negatives, especially given that the Switch eShop is lousy with great games these days.
Although the writing is as good as ever and the visuals have received a nice upgrade, the performance issues, tedious fetch quests, and occasionally confusing gameplay all hold this one back quite a bit. Compared to the unexpected highlight that was Golf Story, Sports Story is damningly mediocre.
