Quantcast


Sega's videogame celebrity open: Sega Superstar Tennis photo

I'm a pretty big fan of the simplicity of Pong, and Sega's Virtua Tennis kept me entertained through at least one sequel, but I've grown tired of knocking balls back and forth. I must admit, though, that Sega Superstar Tennis has piqued my interest. 

The gang's all here! These new screenshots (from the Xbox 360 version of the title) show off some of our old pals: Sonic the Hedgehog, AiAi, Ulala, Dr. Robotnik, Amigo, and even that creepy bee chick-thing from Samba De Amigo. With a superstar cast like this, how could the Sumo Digital developed title fail to hit the right notes with the crowd who longs for the good old days of the Sega Dreamcast?

Xbox 360 owners aren't the only ones who will get a chance to get all "40-love" on Dr. Robotnik's ass on the Green Hill Zone courts -- Sega Superstar Tennis is also coming to the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Wii, and the Nintendo DS.

Robotnik is sexier than Kournawhatsherface.

It's missing so many other Sega heroes, where's the faceless football manager? Angry hoboes of Condemned? El Blaze? Gunstar Heroes? Toe Jam n' Earl? Altered Beast? Alex Kidd? At first this comment seemed like a satire, but seriously, where's my Kid Chameleon also?

Ulala! She, and the SC5 stage, look really good. I've always liked Virtua Tennis more than Mario Tennis, but I haven't bought a one since the first on Dreamcas. I did enjoy the demo of VT3 on XBOX Live though. I'd probably get this, if only to play as Ulala or Amigo. Nice to see AiAi in, also. All it needs is NiGHTS, and it'd be perfect.

I see. Sonic sneaks his keister into Smash Bros, but he doesn't invite Mario to a friendly tennis exhibit. The very height of effrontery!

House of the Dead 2 Hatchet Zombie needs to be a secret character.



He should dual-wield two miniature tennis rackets.

is there any virtua tennis characters? Cause that'd be so meta.

honestly when will there be enough tennis games on the Wii?
I stopped keeping track after my eyes were burned out by balls of fury.
