Dual stylus action for these 3DS sports.

Coming up from Namco is Table Pen Sports, a Nintendo 3DS title that requires you to play with two styluses at the same time and coordinate your actions for sports such as archery and soccer goal shooting.

The action is displayed on the top screen while the bottom screen is used for controlling the action. The double stylus control means that the handheld must be placed on a desk while playing.

The game is expected for a spring 2011 release.

The 3DS screen isn't multi-touch, is it?

Well, it seems that the play area is divided into two separate vertical regions, so this could be done in principle with single touch + math.  But multitouch would be a pleasant surprise.

it really seems like a bad use of the touch screen if its NOT multi-touch.


Using the analog stick and the touch screen would probably be more comfortable and better to use.
