DUE FOR RELEASE HERE on 17th February and bringing new meaning to the term "miniature golf", Nintendo Touch Golf: Birdie Challenge crams a whole lot of realistic 3D golfing fun into the DS handheld's compact frame.

Choose from one of eight characters and hit the greens. Using the stylus on the touch screen you can practise your swing, play a quick round - either by yourself or wirelessly with friends; or go on tour, entering tournaments to earn rankings and monetary rewards.

With your earnings you can customise and upgrade your golfing gear, thus improving your game and unlocking more courses.

Game Features:

* Touch Swing control: In this realistic golf game, swing control mimics real life. Players simply slide the stylus across the touch screen to strike the ball and send it flying. They can even curve their swing to slice or hook shots and alter the angle of the club head for sharpshooter-like accuracy.

* More than 15 impressive 3D courses, all with their own hazards and strategies, test players' skills. Players earn better gear by winning tournaments to help them compete.
