Golf Story Was Originally Planned For Wii U Instead Of Switch

Golf Story, a game where it’s more of an RPG than golf, has been selling extremely well on Nintendo Switch.

In an interview with Red Bull Games, Andrew Newey from Golf Story developer Sidebar Games revealed that the game was initially planned to release on Wii U but things didn’t work out, and it had a much smaller scope than now.

Check out the details in the interview below.

We’re two people in Queensland, Australia. We worked on some smaller games on and off for about eight years, and eventually decided to try and make a console game, so we signed up to become Wii U developers near the end of the Wii U. It was just a small game at first, since we wanted to get something out before the Wii U ended, but it kind of got out of hand, with too many ideas. We managed to move it over to Switch thanks to Nintendo being interested in it.
