Nearly a decade after the release of Mario Tennis, SEGA is stepping up to the baseline to take a crack at the world of tennis with SEGA Superstars Tennis. Essentially it packs every notable SEGA character into a tennis competition, complete with character-specific superpowers and levels. IGN got the lowdown on each of the eight characters that are unlocked from the word go with the remaining eight characters coming tomorrow.
Sega has unleashed the official website for the European release of Sega Superstars Tennis, which is to be released on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS and PS2. The website is fairly empty at the moment, although a release date has been published which lists the game as a March 20th 2008 release. You'll also find a trailer, screenshots, game info and a pre-order option for those of you that are interested.
This particular in the video shows off the characters' super moves. Each is unleashed after charging up the Star meter with able volleying. Some play wicked with the ball’s physics; some cause players to slip around clumsily. Some do both. Either way, they all make the ball harder to return and are accompanied by short cinemas that reaffirm our love for Sega’s stable of colorful characters.
Sega has sent out a specific European release dates today, confirming the exact release dates of some rather anticipated games like Condemned 2, The Club & Universe at War.
