Grip your shaft firmly with both hands. Head down, knees bent, draw back, then let rip! Tecmo's Super Swing Golf Pangya will be encouraging Wii gamers to do just that when it tees off on Nintendo's next-gen console next year.
Wii's motion-sensitive controller is to be exploited to the max in this "casual" golf diversion - as the player holds it just like a golf club, the backswing dictates the shot's power, while the rotation at the point of impact defines the amount of hook or slice on the shot.
It's based on the downloadable PC game Pangya (www.pangya.com/english/index.asp). Curiously, while much of PC Pangya's appeal was its focus on social online multiplayer rounds, Tecmo's Wii interpretation concentrates on single-player modes (including Story, Freeplay and Challenge) and offline party-style multiplayer modes. The game is also going through a major graphical overhaul to bring it in line with next-gen expectations, with improved character textures and more detailed models, new costumes, and redesigned courses.
Super Swing Golf PANGYA is on course for an early 2007 release.
