SEGA SUPERSTARS TENNIS MONTH: ULALA TRANSFORMATION
You cannot go wrong with a game in which Ulala transforms from her Space Channel 5 Part 1 costume into her Space Channel 5 Part 2 costume. Anyone who says otherwise is a LIAR and a FRAUD, or someone who spent the tail-end of 1999 waiting for PS2 to come out rather than importing Japanese Dreamcast games at massive expense.
Look at her. She’s amazing. She’s exactly like the original Dreamcast Ulala artwork. It’s the real Ulala. It is HER.
Taking screenshots of Ulala is a dream come true. The quality of the game doesn’t matter – we’ve had more fun taking screenshots of Ulala than playing any game from the last year. Taking screenshots of Ulala – 10/10.

Never played Part 2. That makes me sad.

“Never played Part 2. That makes me sad.”
I did, it’s like the first one, ie crap.
I see UK:R has admitted, if only on the sly that this game isn’t any good. Sumo dumbed down the Virtua Tennis Control scheme which was already as simple as it was possible to be, that was the genius of it and the reason it became successful. What next, you just press 1 button to hit the ball and the AI does everything else?

When can we expect the return of The Swill Man?
I miss him so.

God I hate this game!
I have no interest whatsoever in playing a console tennis game, and yet I just know I’m going to go out and buy it. Why can’t I stop?
Seeing screenshots from SST is like that scene in Requiem for a Dream where Jennifer Connelly realises just how far she’ll go for another hit. SEGA is sitting there with its fly open, holding the baggie of 90’s gaming memories, pulling my head down, two days later I’ll be up on their coffee table ass-to-ass with Swill Man…

Can someone post some upskirt shots of the fat Outrun umpire up?

Grytpipe, SC5 (and SC5P2) are amongst my most favourite games, and are easily at the top of the dreamcast era of gaming!
It was a perfectly blue skies game– a wonderful catchy soundtrack, lots of bright colours, a great cast of characters, a blended mix of stylishness of and cuteness, and yes, even Michael Jackson saving the world via the means of dance!!
Even if you don’t like music-based games, you surely can’t deny that SC5s heart was in the right place! Ulala has quite honestly become my sega mascot of choice, now that Sonic and NiGHTS have been ruined with garish voices. I fully appreciate Ulala making cameo appearances, and still hope that there’ll be a Part 3 someday…

They haven’t dumbed down the control system at all. It’s just two buttons now, yes, but holding one down and pressing the other gives drop shots and lob shots. So four types of shot in total. More than the original Virtua Tennis’ control scheme.

This is new games journalism. And living. This is new games living.

Wii Sports Tennis, surely?
