Publisher Capcom has sent forth a number of new screens from Camelot's We Love Golf! (Wii), which is due out later this summer.

Hidden amongst the multiple shots of generic characters and happy-face rainbows are glimpses of two classic Capcom characters--Resident Evil's Jill Valentine and Street Fighter's Chun-Li--each in the midst of their respective swinging lifestyles.

For something not so cheery, check out Nick Breckon's TGS07 experience with the title, which he labeled "We Love Golf! Depressions."

We hate golf so much, we left out a link to an article, because the word reminds us of golf.

If you took the rules of golf and translated them into a Japanese instruction manual, you'd have Camelot's We Love Golf!, a game so insidious in nature that it's literally impossible to sound unexcited about it. But unexcited you will feel when faced with a shot meter more complicated and unintuitive than an actual round of golf.

Hot Shots Golf and Mario Golf creator Camelot is stepping up to the tee once again with the cleverly named Wii Love Golf. First revealed in the most recent edition of Japanese gaming publication Weekly Famtisu, it unsurprisingly has players swinging the Wii Remote like a golf club, a familiar convention after Nintendo's Wii Sports, Tecmo's Super Swing Golf, and two editions of EA Sports' Tiger Woods PGA Tour.

Responsible for the initial entry in the Hot Shots Golf series on the original PlayStation, Camelot went on to create N64 and GBC editions of Mario Golf while Clap Hanz took over the Hot Shots Golf franchise. GameCube and Game Boy Advance editions of both Mario-based properties followed thereafter.

Published by Capcom, Wii Love Golf arrives in Japan this winter. Shacknews has contacted Capcom regarding a North American release.
