Wii Love Golf - First Swinging Screens

Can it measure up to Wii Sports?

Posted by Staff
Capcom has managed to get SPOnG titillated about a golf game for the Wii once again with the first screens and art for We Love Golf!

If you missed Capcom's quiet announcement of We Love Golf! last month, it comes from Camelot Software, the developer behind Hot Shots Golf and the Mario Golf series. The developer has the right sort of pedigree for the Wii golfing game we're lusting after - fun, easy to play golfing sims - and we reckon that it should be able to produce at least three quarters of a good game.

The game will feature various modes including tournament, training and special mini-game style challenges, as well as various customisation options. Frankly, however, we want to know how it plays. Capcom tells us:

"We Love Golf! presents a realistic golfing experience with a fresh new spin incorporating the Wii Remote's unique motion-sensing functionality. Players will use the controller to choose clubs, line up shots, swing and even add a touch fade or draw with a flick of the wrist. Just as on a real course, gauging wind conditions, correct club selection and careful reading of the greens are all essential for victory."


So far, so good. Both Pangya and Tiger Woods PGA Tour have both failed to deliver us something comparable to the beautifully simple game mechanic golf on Wii Sports, however, so SPOnG's keeping a cool head until we can actually play the game.

In the meantime, you can get a feel of the We Love Golf! with the screens and art below.
