Redbull caught up with Andrew Newey from Sidebar Games for a chat about the hit Switch game Golf Story. Newey commented on the project’s Wii U origins, how Nintendo was involved, and a cut idea involving a split-screen two-player story mode.

Read Newey’s responses about these topics here. You can find the full interview on Redbull here.

Golf Story has an interesting connection to the real world that some may not have known about. This pertains to the latter section of the game, so potential spoilers ahead.

Golf Story came out this week in the midst of much buzz. Despite being available for just a few days, it’s already climbed to the top of the eShop charts. The reception has definitely gone over well, but Golf Story does have some issues. Players have come across bugs and other small problems that do need to be addressed – you can see an extensive list here.

Fortunately, Sidebar Games intends to patch the game. The developer has been made aware of all the various issues and should be addressing them over time. No word yet on when the first update is going live, but we’ll let you know when there’s any news.

Nintendo of America passed along the news:


Golf Story will release this week on Switch, according to a listing included on the European eShop. The game is currently on track for September 28.

The Switch news section was updated today with the addition of a new title. Sidebar Games’ upcoming release Golf Story now has a channel of its own. It teases that “rumors, speculation and sometimes news” will be delivered to fans.

We’re hoping that the news channel is another sign that Golf Story is due out very soon. Sidebar Games has only committed to a September release.

Brand new details about Golf Story are presented in the latest issue of Game Informer. The magazine covers gameplay elements and much more. For a roundup of information, continue on below.

We’ve confirmed with Sidebar Games that Golf Story will be playable at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. The big expo kicks off on Thursday for business partners / the press, though it will be open to the public this weekend.

Sidebar Games has been very busy as of late, understandably so. The developer has been partially preoccupied with preparing Golf Story’s TGS demo as well as “some other things”. However, we were told that “there isn’t much left to do now”.

As far as a release date goes, Sidebar Games is keeping quiet on that front. The last official window we have is September. We asked about a final date, but Sidebar Games wasn’t ready to share that information with us just yet.
