News: With Wii-mote controls, this should be a racket.
2K Sports announced today it will be releasing Top Spin Tennis Wii. The game will feature the series' real life tennis experience, but use pick-up-and-play Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers for even more real court intuitive tennis action.
The Nunchuk controls the player and aim, while the vibration-enabled Wii Remote hits the ball like a tennis racquet and determines the style of shot ranging from a top spin move to a slice. The Wii Remote also allows players to control the power and the quality of the shot and to serve in many different ways.
The gameplay in Top Spin Tennis will feature an array of modes including singles, doubles, mixed and non-mixed matches, exhibition, tournament and more, with four levels of difficulty and ten international venues. It will also feature more than a dozen licensed tennis stars as well as ten original characters. Up to four players can play Top Spin Tennis using as many as four sets of controllers. To add to the group fun, there are a collection of party games included.
УWe are excited to bring our popular Top Spin series to the Wii,Ф said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. УGiven the Wii's unique controllers and the fun family-oriented gameplay, Top Spin Tennis effectively bridges the gap between a sports and a party game.Ф
Developed by 2K's Paris studio PAM Development in conjunction with 2K Shanghai, Top Spin Tennis will be available exclusively on the Wii in spring 2008. Gaming Target will serve you up more on this game soon.
