Nintendo has recommitted itself to providing a more constant stream of content for its new hybrid portable console, and while it has been delivering on first party AAA content, it seems they are also looking out for indie exclusives as well. Golf Story is a golf RPG with visuals reminiscent of Earthbound or something like Stardew Valley, where players take on the role of a golfer who has been "forced to give up all that he holds dear for one final shot at accomplishing his dream."
Developer SideBar Games releases a brief trailer announcing the game.
Here's the official feature list that the developers posted on their website:
- 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.
There's currently no retail price or concrete release date set, but the game will release on the Nintendo eShop later this summer.
