Limited Run Games might be hinting at a physical version of Golf Story
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 8 Comments
Limited Run Games will finally begin to publish Switch titles in 2018. Now the question is, what will the company begin with?
One very strong possibility is Golf Story. Speaking with The Switch Effect, Limited Run Games co-founder Douglas Bogart pointed to that title as well as FAST RMX and Thimbleweed Park as games he’d like to give the physical treatment to. Even more telling, Bogart later said that “we thought our first title would just be a pipe dream, but instead it’s a hole in one.”
That last line is definitely a nod to golf, and we all know that Switch has one big indie golf game – that being Golf Story, of course. We should know for sure if this is what Bogart was teasing in a few months.
