Grand Slam Tennis

Join us for the live EA Sports presentation from 11am AEDT Friday the 19th.

A retailer this week price cut titles that utilize Nintendo Co.'s Wii MotionPlus peripheral in a new one-week game sale.

EA South Africa launched EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis in South Africa at a sporty event held in Johannesburg yesterday. Upon arriving at the German Country Club in Paulshof, each attending journalist was given a few goods that would later prove to be essential in order for EA to carry out their cunning plans for us unsuspecting members of the press. A closer inspection of the contents of the bag revealed a shiny new tennis racket (Federer Grand Slam of course, being branded with EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis on the cover was a nice touch), a pack of three tennis balls, a water bottle, sweat bands for the wrist (pink for girl players, blue for boys!) and a long-sleeve branded T-shirt.

El33tonline had hands-on time with Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus at the launch of EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis yesterday, but the good news is that you will also be able to get your hands on this new accessory soon.

EA Sports have just released the box art for Grand Slam Tennis in Europe. Unlike the North American version, which features Roger Federer, John McEnroe and Serena Williams in cartoon form, the European cover has gone for a more realistic approach.

Electronic Theatre has today received an updated release schedule for Electronic Arts' forthcoming videogame titles. Obtained through partners in the independent retail sector, the schedule reveals the intended European release dates for a handful of titles due to arrive on shop shelves throughout both May and June.

IncGamers report that EA have confirmed the Wii versions of Grand Slam Tennis and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 will come bundled with the Wii MotionPlus accessory in Europe.

Electronic Arts announced today that tennis stars John McEnroe, Roger Federer and Serena Williams will be the North American cover athletes for its new tennis franchise, EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis. Eight different regional player partnerships will be announced soon.

Joystiq writes: NeoGAFfer CubeRevolution reported that EA was planning to release a version of Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii bundled with one of Nintendo's MotionPlus peripherals, for 59.99 Euros, just 10 Euros more than the standalone release. A listing on Amazon.de for EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis + Wii Motion Plus bears out CubeRevolution's claim. It appears that Nintendo really is allowing EA to bundle its first-party accessory with a third-party game in Europe this July. Amazon even took a few Euros off the price!
