Pangya announced for Nintendo Wii

via play.tm

Light-hearted golf game Pangya has been confirmed for the Nintendo Wii, with the Big N revealing that the sports title will be out on June 8th. Pangya is the title used to describe the game in Europe and Asia, while American gamers may best know the game as Super Swing Golf.

The game is actually a spin-off from MMO Albatross18, and the game will of course make extensive use of the Wiimote controller for 'swinging', a la Wii Sports. 11 courses will feature, and while some have criticised the Wii's control system and suggested that it is occasionally shoe-horned into gameplay, it does seem to broadly work on golf games.

We'll bring you the latest on Pangya as we get it - including word on whether the Wiimote really can pull off another golf title. More shortly, then.

Online mutiplayer then! Surely. I liked alabatros18.

If it is online, it would be great! If it's not, then I'm not interested at all.
