Overview
Overview
New International Track & Field features single-player career and training modes in addition to Wi-Fi multi-player between 2 and 4 players, a character-based minigame challenge mode and a worldwide player ranking system. The original Track and Field game is also available to play. The gameplay of New International Track & Field differs from the traditional button mashing and joystick-wiggling gameplay of the original games in that players use the motion of the stylus to set a rhythm for their character. In addition, the game also features uses for the DS' dual screens and players can shout encouragement for their character via the microphone to give them an extra boost. The louder they shout, the bigger the boost. New International Track & Field featured an online community at their website. Players could link their games to their website accounts and participate in online global scoreboards, teams, and tournaments. The site also used to feature forums for discussion about the game.
