Gameloft is a well known name when it comes to both console and mobile games, and have just announced that they will be introducing Midnight Pool that will be available exclusively only from Nintendo’s WiiWare downloadable games service. This exciting and competitive pool simulation game is rooted in Gameloft’s popular Midnight Series and will be the fourth title the company has introduced for WiiWare. You will be able to pick up Midnight Pool for 800 Wii Points - that translates to $8 in real life.

Set in the liveliest bar settings across America, Midnight Pool is the first complete pool game available on WiiWare and provides a deep billiards experience for Wii players of all ages and skill levels. The title cleverly uses the Wii Remote(TM) as a cue to aim, shoot and spin balls on the table. Some of the features found in the game include :-

• Easily perform precise shots thanks to the Wii Remote’s intuitive controls
• The friendly, feisty atmosphere of seven American pool bars: The Gator’s Refuge, The Crazy Moose, and more
• Seven available characters with unique personalities, none of whom are at a loss for words!
• Challenge mode to learn all the most amazing trick shots
• Local multiplayer mode to compete against friends like in a real tournament!
• 3 sets of rules: 8-ball US, 8-ball UK and 9-ball

I suppose this will be a new way of playing pool – it would be nice to see a table tennis game on the Wii sometime in the future. It would probably be a much more engaging gaming experience compared to online games that feature pool.
