TECMO ANNOUNCES SUPER SWING GOLF PANGYA
The must have golf game for the Wii makes its first appearance at E3
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES, Calif. May 18, 2005- At the
2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo, Tecmo® announced that the
eagerly awaited online golf title, Super Swing Golf PANGYA,
will be launching on the next generation Nintendo Wii console
in early 2007. Super Swing Golf PANGYA takes advantage of the
power of the Wii and provides a rich, newly designed, casual
golf game that revolutionizes the way video game golf is
played, putting the player in control of the club and the
course!
No longer will gamers be bound to play golf with their
thumbs, no longer will gamers have to flush years of golf
lessons down the toilet, no longer will gamers be forced to
sit and be a passive observer while the onscreen character
has all the fun! A revolution is at hand! Pick up the
controller and swing away! The Nintendo Wii controller
provides a new level of gaming interaction--sensing motion,
depth, positioning and targeting dictated by the movement of
the controller to act as the golf club. A back-swing sets the
amount of power of the swing and the angle of the controller
defines whether the ball will hook or slice. Take on the role
as one of many main characters and swing away.
Super Swing Golf PANGYA has gone through a major graphical
overhaul that brings this title to life in a uniquely
designed fantasy world. Complete with improved character
texture and molding, newly designed costumes, and beautifully
rendered redesigned courses this title aims to be a hole in
one!
Fans of the game will rejoice at the implementation of a
single player mode. Hit the links and play through Story
Mode, Free Mode, or Challenge Mode to get your skills up to
par. Playing through the single player modes allows for
additional characters, challenging courses, unique costumes,
and new equipment to be unlocked. Take on other players in
Match Play, Stroke Play, and Party Play to bury the
opposition!

the video game industry. When picked up and pointed at the
screen, the controller gives a lightning-quick element of

dictated by movement of the controller itself.
