System 3 has just announced PowerPlay Pool, a title which it hopes will have DS owners cueing to get into the skilful world of championship pool.

The game features what is being termed an 'ultra realistic 3D engine' (an obvious yet crucial component of any pool or snooker game these days), combined with a rapid 3D viewpoint and intuitively designed control system for a convincing experience.

A variety of play rules are included, covering UK and US versions, as well as 8- and 9-ball variants, and a killer mode. Some of these form the basis for cup and league tournaments, where you get to choose from 16 world-class players with varying skill sets and styles.

You can also play against a human opponent via either one or two machines, and the game even includes a two-player download play mode via wi-fi.

PowerPlay Pool is currently scheduled to strike in late June.
