The most interesting thing about this game is that it has Nester from the Nintendo Power comics (whom I have no attachment to having never read those comics so......)
It's bowling! In 3D! and there's some really wacky American style humour animations after you take a shot! Gameplay for this is incredibly simple, you move left and right to line up a shot, press A as a bar moves left and right to determine the spin of your shot and then press A on a power meter to determine the power of your shot and that's it. It's the first bowling game I've played where you can't angle your stance so it feels really basic compared to other titles I've played.
Modes are extremely limited too. You've got bowl, which is a regular 10 shots on ten pin bowling, practice, that let's you set up the pins how you want and try knocking them down, and finally challenge, which sees the pins set up in a manner where you would try and get a spare. There's also a 2 player mode where you alternate shots with another player but yeah.... this is another basic and bare bones Virtual Boy title except even the 3D effect is minimal too.
The novelty of Nester getting his own game aside, this is a pretty average bowling game that wears thin pretty quickly.
