New details regarding Nintendo's True Swing Golf have been released. According to Nintendo, the game will feature 15
3-D courses, character customization and upgradeable gear, and touch screen "swinging." The dual screens will
be used to show aerial views and close-ups of each hole."This is a golf game that could not be played on any other system," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "As an avid golfer, this game has me muttering to myself as often as the real thing."
From the release: "The touch screen also allows players to access menus, switch clubs, change camera angles or send messages to other players. As players progress through the rankings, they earn money to buy better equipment to enhance their games. Just like on real-life courses, players can even make wagers with their in-game earnings against opponents. Whoever wins the round takes home the prize money. Up to four players can compete on the links, even if only one of them has a True Swing Golf game card."
True Swing Golf launches on Jan. 23. Anyone picking this one up?
