With the success of the Wii on all continents, and how it's been advertised as being the ultimate sports simulation machine, it’s hard to believe no one has a tennis game to shove our consumerist asses.

Everyone who has played Wii Sports has thought at some point that a real tennis game, where you actually move and place your player, would be a lot of fun. Sure, Wii Sports is great at drunken parties and is something that anyone can pick up and play. Actually I think it might have been designed for drunken retards. Nevertheless I would actually like to be challenged in a Wii sports title, that is not a football title and not something that is designed with my mom in mind.

So a true tennis experience would have to be really cool. Without a doubt, it would be hard to master, and the nunchuk cable would be a problem, there might be a few deaths related to it, but this puppy, combined with online play, could be the best thing to hit my living room.

What surprises me though is that no one has announced anything (well there was this unknown publisher that said something vague about some tennis game, last year at E3, and nothing since…), not even a simple PS2 port of some shitty Wimbledon 2003 Wii edition. Hell, I bet a Virtua Tennis 2 port on the Wii would sell like cupcakes.

There's no doubt we'll see one eventually, but I just hope (pray even?) that they actually do a good job on the title and don't spit out some unplayable, ugly crap, to jump on the Wii bandwagon...
I am just afraid that the closest thing to a tennis game we’ll get will be a “Super Princess Peach Badminton Adventures”.

You know you want it.
