Konami's first EyeToy game will see release in Europe this September, the publisher announced today. It'll be called U Move Super Sports, although Konami's American division favors the simpler title EyeToy Sports for its planned fall release in North America. U Move is a collection of 15 sports-themed mini-games for individual players or tournament-style party competitions. As per the EyeToy usual, they all involve success through outlandish physical gesticulations -- beating penalty kicks as a virtual goalie, heading tossed soccer balls, tackling a running rugby player, directing a racehorse, or competing in a more precise and sedate game of golf. Konami also promises an "Art Studio" mode with more dextrous puzzle-based challenges, although today's announcement offers few details on that aspect of the game. Similarly shadowy games include Yellow Card, Sling Shot and Ball-Tossing Aliens (although, admittedly, that last one sounds like a pretty quick study). Konami joins Sega as the second third-party publisher to jump on the EyeToy bandwagon with a title designed exclusively for the device (the third if you count Bandai's Japan-only EyeToy releases, and perhaps the fourth if Electronic Arts' EyeToy mini-games are taken into account).
