New EyeToy Sports Details

Konami's first EyeToy game will diocese release in Europe this September, the publisher announced today. It'll be called U stir Super Sports, although Konami's American division favors the simpler title EyeToy Sports for its planned fall release in North America.

U stir is a collection of 15 sports-themed mini-games for individual players or tournament-style party competitions. As through the EyeToy usual, they all involve succes from one side outlandish physical gesticulations -- beating penalty kicks as a virtual goalie, heading tossed soccer balls, tackling a running rugby player, directing a racehorse, or competing in a more precise and sedate game of golf

Konami also promises an "Art Studio" fashion with more dextrous puzzle-based challenges, although today's announcement presents few details on that aspect of the game. Similarly shadowy games include fulvid Card, Sling Shot and Ball-Tossing Aliens (although, admittedly, that last single sounds like a pretty quick study)

Konami joins Sega as the next to the first third-party publisher to jump upon the EyeToy bandwagon with a title designed exclusively for the device (the third if you number Bandai's Japan-only EyeToy releases, and perhaps the fourth if Electronic Arts' EyeToy mini-games are taken into account).
