Feel Every Shot: Ultra-Realistic 3D Billiards Brings Motion-Controlled Cue Action to Nintendo Switch™ 2

Designed to capture the authentic sensation of real-world cue sports, the game blends precision physics, stylish presentation, and competitive online play for both casual players and dedicated billiards fans.

Set in sleek, pool bar–inspired environments, the game features classic 8-ball and 9-ball modes enhanced with ultra-realistic ball physics and refined visual detail.

Beyond online play, Pool Room Billiard offers a variety of modes for every player. Battle adaptive AI in VS COM Mode, compete in Tournament Mode to test your skills, or enjoy local head-to-head matches in VS 2P Mode with motion or traditional controls. With lifelike motion controls, comprehensive gameplay modes, and worldwide online competition, this latest 3D billiards title delivers an authentic, accessible, and competitive cue sports experience—right from your living room.
