Agetec providing Americans with the opportunity to Touch Darts

Sega's Touch Darts was released in Europe last summer, but Sega didn't make any sign of releasing it in the U.S. Agetec has stepped in and picked up the publishing rights for the game, planning to release it next month. Agetec really knows how to spot easy localization jobs -- first LOL, and now this, which was already in English.Touch Darts is exactly what it sounds like: darts, played on the touchscreen. It is not a game about poking your fingers, although that would be totally hilarious and weird. But despite just being a game about regular darts, it sounds feature-rich: it includes four modes: tournament, challenge, quickplay, and multiplayer, with four-player single-card gameplay. Challenge mode is dart-tossing minigames that provide variations on the basic rules of darts.
We're pretty sure they won't, but we'd be amused if Agetec planned to release the dart stylus along with the game.

Hmm...can you even lose a game of touchscreen darts? It seems like a person could get a bullseye every time.

More shovelware crap for the DS. Funny, the only time I ever saw shovelware on a system (console or portable) was during the last years of the system's life, but the DS and the Wii seems to have them within a year of their release. The Wii is more guilty of this than the DS though. Someone really needs to stop this mess.
