'Unique controls' offered in DS 'Touch Darts'

American games firm Agetec Inc. has secured the rights to a darts title for the Nintendo DS, which it claims was developed to "really take advantage of the unique touch screen".

Touch Darts, which allows players to simulate dart throwing using the DS touch screen and stylus, features four darts modes and a four-player multiplayer option using a single cartridge.

“This is not just your ordinary dart video game; Touch Darts really takes advantage of Nintendo DS’s unique touch screen and allows players to accurately simulate throwing darts with a simple flick of the stylus,” said Mark Johnson, producer at Agetec.

“The developer, Full Fat, made sure to fine tune the controls so that even the most hardcore dart fanatic is happy with this game. It’s quite an achievement.”
