Top Spin Tennis will make its first appearance on the Nintendo Wii during the Spring of 2008, according to an announcement from 2K Sports.
The pick-up-and-play action in Top Spin Tennis allows gamers to use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers in a way that matches the movements players would make on a real court. 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.
Top Spin Tennis will feature multiple gameplay modes, including singles, doubles, mixed and non-mixed matches, exhibition and tournament. Each mode will have four levels of difficulty and 10 international venues. The game will feature more than one dozen licensed tennis stars as well as 10 original characters.
Up to four players can play Top Spin Tennis using as many as four sets of controllers — and you might just want to do that, because the game will also include a collection of party games.
Top Spin Tennis for the Wii is being developed by 2K’s Paris studio PAM Development in conjunction with 2K Shanghai.
