STOP THE INTERNET: SEGA SUPERSTARS TENNIS ANNOUNCED!
Ulala in a tennis costume. Ulala playing Sonic. Developed by Sumo Digital. Not only coming to Wii. We are deliberately not using any exclamation marks here as we’d just get carried away. And we’re saving them for the screenshot of Ulala.
Sky. Grass. SEGA. It is the summer of 1992 again!
A 3D Sonic we actually don’t mind.
Ulala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She’ll be at a significant disadvantage wearing those shoes.
No famous old brand left untouched.
Please god let there be a very adjustable camera angle for surveying all of Ulala’s very lovely parts.
BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES!
SEGA LEGENDS SET TO SERVE UP AN ACE IN THE WACKY SEGA SUPERSTARS(tm) TENNIS!
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (Oct 18, 2007) – SEGA Europe Ltd. and SEGA of America, Inc. today announced SEGA Superstars(tm) Tennis, a game that brings together some of the most treasured and well known characters from the SEGA universe, in some of the most unusual courts and outrageous settings ever imagined. Developed by Sumo Digital Ltd., SEGA Superstars Tennis will be released on the Sony PlayStation(r) 3 computer entertainment system, Sony PlayStation 2, the Xbox 360(tm) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Nintendo Wii and DS, all hitting shelves early in 2008.
SEGA Superstars Tennis has over 15 playable SEGA idols including Sonic the Hedgehog, AiAi from Super Monkeyball fame, Ulala of Space Channel 5 and Amigo from Samba De Amigo. In addition to their own unique attributes, each character will also come equipped with their own superstar tennis skills, putting a whole new spin on each match played!
Exhibition mode offers the chance to challenge Sonic, or the character or your choice, to a match on one of many courts, including Sonic’s home court of Green Hill Zone, or Amigo’s Carnival Park court. Wherever you play there will be a host of SEGA celebrities cheering you on from courtside and by partaking in crazy doubles matches with your choice of partner, you could end up playing against some pretty unusual couples!

I feel the need to post “Commence fapping now”, but it’ll be a few minutes too late by the time most of you reach the comments.

It’s time for an early review!
Why do Sega keep producing this shite? Controls worse than the latest 5 year old Wii port and there isn’t really a single player mode but there is over 48 hours of poorly dubbed and subbed then remixed cut scenes and online is so horrible it hurts. Too many shitty Sonic spin off characters. 4/10

Token standard negative video game nerd response:
Isn’t this just taking Virtua Tennis taking out one hasbeen like Tim Henman and replacing him with another in the form of Sonic?

No sign of Ryu Hazuki from Shenmue?
October 18th, 2007 on 6:27 pm
Yeah, but is Cream in it? Cause I’m not buying it if she’s not.

The Internet already stopped when Street Fighter 4 was announced yesterday.
Didn’t you get the memo?

To Cunzy11:
Oh Shut Up.
Sumo do Sega better than Sega do Sega these days, apart from maybe AM2.
Part of me wishes that if anyone gets to make a new gen Streets of Rage Sequel, it will be them. As long as they employ me to make sure its designed right.

To Mentski:
I think your jam rag came out a bit. You are getting a bit “toxic shock syndrome”.
And btw, they aren’t my words there, it’s been the standard Sega review for the last ten years as listed in Future publishing’s volume of ready written reviews for lazy journos.

If Alex Kidd isn’t in there swinging a raquet around with his massive fists I will be soley disappointed. In fact, I’d probably only buy five copies if that was the case.
P.S. Fingers crossed for some Wonderboy in there too. OH GOD NOW I UNDERSTAND HOW ALL THE NINTENDO CHILDS FEEL ABOUT THAT SUPER SMASH GAME!

If John Madden isn’t shouting ‘interception’ every time someone hits the ball then blah blah blah blah
Why can people just be happy for pants and high heels anymore?

Why cant they just make a Sonic game that looks like THAT?
