Tecmo and Ntreev have launched
a mini-site for their upcoming Revolution title Pangya.
While the site is very light on the content, it's hefty on the indecipherable Japanese characters. Oh, and there are
some screenshots too. Obviously, the inclusion of those infamous Nintendo Press Release shots means this title will use
the wonderful new control-scheme the Revolution plans to provide (we're guessing you'll pretend the remote is a golf
club).
Embedded in the mini-site is a .pdf file which, in turn, links to the Pangya website, where you can see how the previous Windows-based games played through juicy trailers. These trailers seem to showcase gameplay along with some of the implementation possible with the Revolution controller (look at the first trailer and see how your character is selected and spun around using a click-and-drag-type interface). Just substitute the mouse with the new remote!
Even though the Xbox 360 is producing amazing visuals now (with the PS3 promising to sometime in the
future), are these graphics that bad in comparison? Not in the least. If the Revolution can produce comparable visuals
and offer its products for a lot less, its battle against the 360 and upcoming PS3 may not nearly be as tough as many
would suggest.

while the game looks nice (and really fun for a golf game for that matter) I'm hoping to see a few more gritty games on the horizon for the revolution. If Nintendo wants to win back the teens who think they're too tough for the Nintendo systems, they're going to need some world war 2 first person shooters or similar titles for that matter.
Note: I'm perfectly content with what nintendo's shown so far, however, to win the Halo and GTA crowd might require an extra umph.

Don't get all excited people.. I've had it translated.
The screenshots are from the PC game and just a guide of what to expect from gameplay.
We'll see screenshots at E3.. maybe a few leaked ones a day or two before E3 but nothing major before then.
