Tennis, anyone?

This article's primary purpose is to tell you that Virtua Tennis 3 is officially coming to the PSP, Xbox 360, and PS3. Sega said so in an official press release. We've heard since August 20-something that Sega's Virtua Tennis 3 is going multiplatform to the PSP, to the Xbox 360, and to the PS3. Now it's been confirmed that it will launch simultaneously for those platforms (including the PC) in the first quarter of 2007.

And here are the big names who will soon be whacking balls on your screen:

Amelie Mauresmo
Maria Sharapova
Venus Williams
Martina Hingis
Nicole Vaidisova
Lindsay Davenport
Daniela Hantuchova
Rafa Nadal
Andy Roddick
Tim Henman
Lleyton Hewitt
James Blake
Mario Ancic
Gael Monfils
Taylor Dent
David Nalbandian
Sebastien Grosjean
Juan Carlos Ferrero
Tommy Haas
and last but not least, Roger Federer

There will also be 10 minigames and there might be support for a multiplayer mode of up to four players (doubles, anyone?).

This games is great, I played it on a Dreamcast and it was great. But not on Wii?

# k — Guest 2006-09-11 14:58

We give a crap,why?

# WOW — Guest 2006-09-11 14:59

for a second there i thought that was real PERSON omg PS3 will rule!!@@

# Cool — Guest 2006-09-11 15:09

I might get this one. I liked the ones on Dreamcast.

# PS3 SUCKS — Guest 2006-09-11 15:51

This was a great game on dreamcast.

# Erm — Guest 2006-09-11 16:16

Why dont the big tennis games have Murray running alongside Henman? He's become ten times the player Henman ever was

# Virtua Tennis: World Tour is good too — Guest 2006-09-11 16:59

You guys mention Dreamcast, but don't you guys know there's a PSP version that was released last year? It's almost identical to the Dreamcast version; only difference is the roster and new minigames. But otherwise the same game.

This new iteration of Virtua Tennis will definitely look good and play good on all console and handhelds. I'm going to get this on release day.

# Federer Rules! — Guest 2006-09-11 18:20

Nice! This game is coming to the PSP, and Nadal is there now. I can now battle againts Nadal using the powerful Federer!

I'm gonna own him on Clay!

# Good news but.... — Guest 2006-09-11 20:12

they should be doing a Wii version, unless of course they know they can't beat Wii Sports for playability.

# graphics — Guest 2006-09-11 21:50

That graphic makes topspin 2 look like an old atari game.

# Classic players? — Guest 2006-09-12 01:55

No Classic palyers :-(

Where is the Ivan lendl????????????

# Andre Agassi — Guest 2006-09-12 04:06

Why isn't Andre Agassi in? It would have been awesome to play with him, and he just recently stopped playing, IMO it's a shame they didn't include him.

# eh?!? — Guest 2006-09-12 04:59

Never mind Andre agassi, where's andrew murray?

# Best on PS3 — KnowLedge 2006-09-12 05:29

This is one of the multiplatform games that show how much better PS3 is when compared to X360.

PS3 version already looks better than X360 version, and it isn't finished yet, can't wait to play you guys online.

# I want my excitable Scotsman! — irononreverse 2006-09-12 05:45

Where is Andy Murray?

# this game looks pritty good....... — Guest 2006-09-12 06:59

For me to POOP ON!!!

# what about Justine Henin? — Guest 2006-09-12 07:35

Where is Justine Henin?

One of the best female player fo all time... ;-)
