:: |                   [+]  GAME INFO  [+]                   | ::

ááááá| :: | Golf games and handheld devices are a match made in     | :: |
ááááá| :: | heaven. That's why we're excited to see Touch Golf      | :: |
ááááá| :: | currently in development for the Nintendo DS. Though    | :: |
ááááá| :: | the game's controls borrow a bit from a more well-known | :: |
ááááá| :: | links franchise--namely EA Sports' Tiger Woods--it      | :: |
ááááá| :: | seems to have a look, sound, and feel all its own.      | :: |
ááááá| :: |                                                         | :: |
ááááá| :: | Based on the trailer for the game, you'll be using      | :: |
ááááá| :: | the lower DS screen as both a course/hole map (one that | :: |
ááááá| :: | will move dynamically once you hit your ball). More     | :: |
ááááá| :: | importantly, the touchscreen will also be used as a     | :: |
ááááá| :: | your method for swatting the ball. The swing mechanic   | :: |
ááááá| :: | seems to be more straightforwad than Tiger's. There     | :: |
ááááá| :: | doesn't seem to be an explicit power meter to speak of, | :: |
ááááá| :: | though there were a few horizontal lines on the lower   | :: |
ááááá| :: | screen that could possibly indicate the power of your   | :: |
ááááá| :: | shot; i.e. the further "back" you start your stroke,    | :: |
ááááá| :: | the power you'll put behind it. Secondly, as you draw   | :: |
ááááá| :: | your swing, a small blue line appears, tracing out      | :: |
ááááá| :: | exactly how "straight" you approach the ball.           | :: |
ááááá| :: | Presumably you'll be able to fade or draw your ball by  | :: |
ááááá| :: | adjusting the curve of your drawn stroke, but that      | :: |
ááááá| :: | isn't necessarily clear in the trailer.                 | :: |
ááááá| :: |                                                         | :: |
ááááá| :: | The upper screen shows your golfer as he or she         | :: |
ááááá| :: | addreses the ball and eventually follows through with   | :: |
ááááá| :: | the stroke. We noticed small displays would pop up when | :: |
ááááá| :: | the golfer holed out, showing small portraits of the    | :: |
ááááá| :: | player, along with his or her score on the hole. The    | :: |
ááááá| :: | character designs seemed slightly anime in flavor       | :: |
ááááá| :: | though the small screen made it difficult to tell for   | :: |
ááááá| :: | sure.                                                   | :: |
ááááá| :: |                                                         | :: |
ááááá| :: | Beyond the golf action, we were pretty impressed with   | :: |
ááááá| :: | the upbeat music in the trailer, which fit the quirky   | :: |
ááááá| :: | nature of the art style pretty well. Here's hoping the  | :: |
ááááá| :: | tune is just a sample of the kind of music we'll find   | :: |
ááááá| :: | when the game is released. No date has been set for     | :: |
ááááá| :: | Touch Golf's release yet but we look forward to going a | :: |
ááááá| :: | few more rounds with this one in the future.            | :: |
