<p>VooFoo Studios and publisher Double Eleven have today revealed <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/this_is_snooker">This Is Snooker</a></strong>, a simulation of the sport headed to Nintendo Switch and other platforms “soon”.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Of course, the game’s announcement comes just weeks after Ripstone Games revealed a release window for its upcoming Snooker game, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/snooker_19">Snooker 19</a></strong>. 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.

<p><em>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.</em></p>
