VooFoo Studios and publisher Double Eleven have today revealed This Is Snooker, a simulation of the sport headed to Nintendo Switch and other platforms “soon”.
You can see the very first trailer for the game up above, starring snooker’s very own Stephen Hendry. The seven-time world champion features in the game as both an AI opponent and an expert mentor, giving players tips in a series of videos designed to help improve your real-life and in-game snooker skills. The game also features a series of arcade scenarios that challenge you to recreate defining moments from his career.
Of course, the game’s announcement comes just weeks after Ripstone Games revealed a release window for its upcoming Snooker game, Snooker 19. Set to launch this spring, this will no doubt be a fierce rival for This Is Snooker and effectively leaves players a little spoilt for choice. You can learn more about Snooker 19 to compare here.
Which one will be the better offering? Will they both be worth our time in equal measure? Looks like it’s a pretty good time to be a snooker-loving Switch owner.
