The Nintendo 3DS doesn't support multi-touch, but that hasn't stopped Bandai Namco from using the touchscreen to its fullest.

Touch! Double Pen Sports throws a series of sports mini-games your way and asks you to complete actions by swiping the touchscreen in different places, as spotted by Kotaku.

The idea is to hold two styluses at the same time, and control each side of the screen with different hands. Since the screen can't be multi-touched, it's about speed rather than multi-tasking.

Fortunately, the game comes with two styluses, both a little bigger than your standard 3DS stylus, so you won't need to go hunting for an extra one.

Sports bundled into the package include the likes of football, skiing, and archery. There's no word yet on whether the game will be released released in the US or UK, but the Japanese release date is set for June 2nd.

Check out the recently released trailer below.
