Just when you thought you’d seen the back of Tim Henman, here he is again, teaching rookie players how to lob, slice and smash, and sharing tips on how to not win Wimbledon even once in your career. “Cheers, Tim,” we thought, arrogantly skipping Virtua Tennis’ tutorial, “but we’ll muddle through without you.” ...

Virtua Tennis 2009 Delayed: Now Serving in June (News)

6 May 2009

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.

The Wii version being completed pushes back the PS3, Xbox360, and PC versions as well. Hopefully the delay allows for more content to be added and better online experience (for PS3/360).

N4G Note: Interestingly, the Wii version will now compete with Tiger Woods 2010 during that release timeframe, and both are sports titles featuring Wii MotionPlus.

Confirmed: Virtua Tennis on Wii using Wii MotionPlus tech (News)

16 Feb 2009

Sega has announced what is perhaps one of the biggest third party Wii games to date this week. TechRadar can also confirm that the new Wii version of the mighty Virtua Tennis WILL also make use of the new Wii MotionPlus controller tech.

While Sega and Nintendo's UK spokespeople remained schtum on the matter, TechRadar's un-named source confirmed that Nintendo's much-improved motion control tech will be used in the third-party tennis game from Sega, making it one of the first third-party games to make use of the new tech.

TechRadar will be amongst the first to preview Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus tech, which will be making its debut in May this year on Nintendo's very own Wii Sports Resort, in addition to Sega's Virtua Tennis and – no doubt – a welter of other Wii titles soon to be announced.
