2K Sports today announced ‘Top Spin Tennis’ will be released on Nintendo Wii next spring. The game marks the latest entry in the long-running series and first to appear on Nintendo’s console. It is being developed by 2K’s Paris studio PAM Development in conjunction with 2K Shanghai.
The Wii Remote and Nunchuk will play an integral part in ‘Top Spin Tennis’ as described by 2K Sports in the press release, “The intuitive 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.”
“The gameplay in Top Spin Tennis will feature an array of modes including singles, doubles, mixed and non-mixed matches, exhibition, tournament and more, with four levels of difficulty and ten international venues. It will also feature more than a dozen licensed tennis stars as well as ten original characters. Up to four players can play Top Spin Tennis using as many as four sets of controllers. To add to the group fun, there are a collection of party games included.”
