Development
Volleyball is based on an arcade game. Volleyball was developed by Pax Soft Nica and Nintendo R&D1 and published by Nintendo. It was released in March 1987. Reception
Christopher Michael Baker of AllGame rated the game two out of five and said that it showed the developer's inexperience at creating volleyball games. He could not figure out which character he controlled at any given point nor the ball's location as poorly anticipated by its shadow. Baker also criticized the game's "annoying" sound effects. He said that Nintendo had made games for all other sports and likely felt obliged to make a volleyball game. He ultimately recommended Kings of the Beach and Super Spike V'Ball instead.
Lucas M. Thomas of IGN said that Volleyball could be Nintendo's worst sports game, worse than even NES Soccer. He said the controls were automatically frustrating.[1]
