As if playing tennis against balloons wasn't peculiar enough, the latest unveiled Virtua Tennis 3 minigame involves preventing chained baby alligators from eating oversized slabs of bloody (unmarinated!) meat props acquired from a Flintstones estate auction. Unfortunately, the meat choppers don't seem to have any interest in mauling the player -- a missed opportunity to push the envelope. Think of all the minigames that could follow if you survive an alligator attack. Severed limb recovery, replacement appentage training, emotional trauma practice, and more good time WWII-style family bonding fun!
It doesn't stop there -- there's also a new prize mode where you must defend propped up prized items from being knocked over by tennis balls, hurled from 3 machines across the net. Check out the screenshots below for a closer look at the oddity or hit the archives to be chased by big fruits and equally gigantic balls (also known as Gay mode).
If only real world American television sports games could be so interesting. Maybe one day. (sigh) Until then, God bless Japan.
