Fun! Fun! Mini Golf for Wiiware announced.

Does the developer Shinen ring any bells? Perhaps you've played one of their games on the Game Boy Advance or Nintendo DS? They're known for their Iridion and Nanostray games. Now they're entering a new genre and a new console with Fun! Fun! Mini Golf (what a pain in the ass game title to type imo) for Wiiware. I wouldn't normally take a look at a Wiiware game since: 1) I don't have room on my Wii to store it, and I'm too lazy to clean my fridge, and 2) Paying for points online is a pain since your credit card info isn't saved (security reasons). Nonetheless, this title has me intrigued. I love mini golf. I love Shinen's games. Two and two go together to make Fooooooore! Did you see what I did there with that golf joke? Ahem.

Here's some initial information of the game from the good folks at Wiiware World!
  • 1-4 Players.
  • Fun! Fun! features Golf courses in America, Europe and Asia.
  • There are 27 different holes to play.
