Sega Superstars Tennis -- THE BEST TENNIS GAME EVAR!? (NSF56K!)
Posts
oh man, when sonic ran through the loop-de-loop, it caused all my neck hairs to stand on end.
Along with Samba de Amigo on the Wii.
It's almost like Sega is finally listening...
The basic gameplay is near identical to Virtual Tennis 3 (which is a very good thing) with s a few major twists. First and foremost, powerups from the video games represented appear and can be collected, yielding mario-tennis like results. In addition, each successful volley fills a super meter for your character. When the super meter is full, you can pull the trigger to unleash a special attack. Sonic, for example, turns into super sonic which puts more speed onto the ball, robotnik unleashes a barrage of missiles which can knock your opponent out, etc.
in addition, the game features Adventure mode, which plays like Super Smash Bros' Brawl style SSE mode mixed with Virtua Tennis. In this mode, you travel through game-inspired tennis courts completing tasks. For example, in the jet set radio level, you must play tennis while simultaniously playing a scaled back version of jet set radio - collecting spray paint cans, tagging targets, and avoiding police (who build up just like in JSR as you complete your task) or a House of the Dead level where you must kill advancing zombies using your tennis ball.
...fucking AWESOME. It's also coming out march 31st.

The Wii version lacks online mode, however. BUUUT, it's gameplay has been described as Virtua Tennis 3... controlled similarly to Wii Sports Tennis..
The PS3 and 360 versions are identical, and Sega has worked on a middle ware online component which works with Xbox Live and PSN to ensure that their online segments are identical. meaning in the PS3 version, you can access your friends list in-game, along with sending and receiving messages to others, even those not playing the game.
And just in case you guys are still worried - this is being made by the team which made Virtua Tennis 3 and outrun 2.
Years, years I have been waiting, to be able to type that
Also, :^: to Reala.
The only way this could get better is if the Burning Rangers show up.
14 franchises are gonna be represented, and we only know about 9 of them so far. So keep your fingers crossed.
I mean, if
Sonic
NiGHTS
Super Monkey Ball
Jet Grind Radio
Space Channel 5
Samba De Amigo

Who am I missing?
I guess what I'm getting at is - please for the love of god Vectorman.
And I want him to sound like the awesome Goldman from House of the Dead 2.
"Hurry, friends."
Chu Chu rocket is in it. And someone spotted Opa-Opa in one screenshot.
I'd say they're just as obscure.
But if not, I'm almost ready to buy in just for all of the cool franchises that they're representing here.
Fortunately, I don't feel as though I have to worry about gameplay, with the Virtua Tennis 3 team behind this.
I'm just crossin' my fingers that the Wii controls work really well. Shame about the online, though, but I don't think I'll care if I can get some good games-on going with friends.

Yup, there's classic mode, Sega mode, and Sega Superstars mode. Classic mode and Sega mode are also playable online, as singles or doubles.

I'm liking that Sega's been giving it's other divisions a lot more love. Last gen, its was pretty much Sonic Team doing everything. It's been high time they let AM2 and people working close to them take the reigns back.
Only semi-related...I'd also love more online PSO-style 'create a character' games in the Sega universes. Jet Set World, some sorta Space Channel 5 online dancing MMO, Sonic Adventure Online (with the Archie Comics universe license?).
Each version has a console specific mode. The classic mode, Sega Mode, and Sega Superstar mode are identical across all consoles (except the wii version, which has wii sports style controls), but the console specific modes will be build ground up for their respective console in order to take advantage of their strengths. They haven't described them in detail yet other than saying each console-specific mode is being built from the ground up. So the wii version (and DS version) will probably have some pretty unique stuff. I'm guessing the PS3 version will have some sort of motion control as well.
Classic mode is straight up Virtua Tennis style gameplay. Sega Mode is virtua tennis with super meters, power ups, etc. Sega Superstars mode is the 1 player game where you have objectives for each level (like the JSR level where you spray paint, the chu-chu rocket level, etc).
No, online in the PS3 and Xbox 360 version only. Well, actually, I dunno if the DS version has online, but they've said the Wii version doesn't have online, so I wouldn't bet on the DS version having it either.
..the roster is fucking awesome.
Thats all that needs to be said.
yeah and where the fuck is daytona car?
Also
that'd be a bit redundant. Fighters Megamix uses an advanced VF2 engine, and already includes all the stages and characters from VF2 (along with Aoi from VF3 disguised as Janet)
They need a new JSR with Shadow as an unlockable. >.>
Alright, I should shut up about now. I'm going to demand my Dreamcast back tomorrow, apparently.
O_o
What Virtua Fighter was that?
