NBA Playgrounds has been rolling out a major update on various platforms over the past few days. But on Switch, players are still waiting for an update, including access to online play.

The wait certainly isn’t any fun, though Saber Interactive will be looking to make things up to the fans. The team is currently cooking up “something big” for those who own the game on Switch, and we could be hearing about it as early as tomorrow.

Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch told one fan on Facebook:

Sidebar Games is bringing Golf Story to Switch, the studio announced today. It’s planned for launch sometime this summer.

Golf Story has you playing as a golfer who is “forced to give up all that he holds dear for one final shot at accomplishing his dream.” This isn’t just a simple game of golf as it also encompasses the look and feel of RPGs.

Here’s a rundown of features:

– Tee up anywhere! You’ll be surprised by how many problems can be solved by hitting a golf ball at them.
– Explore 8 unique environments, each with their own courses, towns, people and secrets.
– Play through a dramatic story with a diverse cast of characters.
– Upgrade your golfer by completing challenges, solving puzzles and buying new equipment.
– Round out your skill set with long driver tournaments, disc golf, mini golf and wee links. Then go beyond golf with extra challenges like races, mowing, drone flights and geocaching

Chances are nowadays that when you talk to someone about fighting games, one of the first titles to come to mind is Street Fighter. The series has spanned decades, with 2017 marking its 30th anniversary which is further celebrated with the updated release of one of the most seminal fighting games of all time, Street Fighter II. Before the imminent release of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers on Switch, the game had already returned many times in the past. To some this may seem excessive, but for the most hardcore of Street Fighter fans, it’s a way to continually preserve the history of one of the most successful fighting game franchises of all time, as well as one of the most important titles in the series. However you look at it, Ultra Street Fighter II has a lot to love about it if you’re an avid Street Fighter fan, but may leave a lot to be desired to those looking to jump in for the first time or have casually spent time with the series over the last three decades.
