Hudson's Pool Revolution will bring more billiards to WiiWare.

Earlier this week, Hudson announced that they will be releasing Pool Revolution: Cue Sports on WiiWare. Featuring four-player multiplayer both online and off, Pool Revolution "gives WiiWare fans what they want," according to Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson. The game uses two different control schemes, one using motion controls for shot strength, and one using buttons.

Pool Revolution features a number of game types such as eight ball, nine ball, rotation, and snooker. An in-game explanation of each game is included for any billiards rookies. In addition to these game types, players can also try their hand at trick shots in Puzzle Mode as well as set up their own trick shots.
