At an event in London today, Sega confirmed to Strategy Informer that Virtua Tennis 2009 will be released on 29th May for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with a Wii release following in June.
According to information just released by an admin from the Sega of America forums, Virtua Tennis 2009 will be delayed one month and now will be shipping in early June. Although there has been no official word on the delay (and the official website still shows May 2009), the admin mentions Sega is probably polishing off the Wii version.
SEGA has been left a little red in the face, which pales literally to some of the red faces in Scotland over *their* Andy Murray getting pinned as English.
Sega has said the Wii version of Virtua Tennis will include everything from the other formats such as modes and content along with online play and thanks to Wii MotionPlus, won't need you to use buttons... Interesting, it's out in May for Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3.
Sega has released a new batch of screenshots from the latest installment in the Virtua Tennis series.
Virtua Tennis 2009 has extensive additions and detailed improvements to the classic arcade-style match engine like no other tennis game available. Player stumbling adds a new dimension to matches, while improved volleying, serving and net play allow you to express yourself on court like never before.
