Sega Superstars Tennis 2? Hahahahaha! That’s a good one! With the game just five weeks old in North America, GameStop is already slashing prices on Sega and Sumo Digital’s Sonic-filled answer to Mario Tennis, with Sega Superstars Tennis bottoming out at $US19.99 for the Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2. The Nintendo DS version? Just $US14.99.
If you’re in need of a GTA IV hype deflection shield or you’re now willing to bite at this price—even I am, despite my bitterness about a lack of Space Harrier or Cosmic Smash Guy—you can pick it up in-store or online as of right now.
newVideoPlayer("sst_platforms.flv", 520, 390,""); On the fence about which version of Sega Superstars Tennis to grab? Then you’ll “love” this trailer. Get it? Tennis! Not sure if I’m frothing for essentially another go at Virtua Tennis, but maybe I’m just bitter about Shadow and Pudding taking up valuable slots in the roster. At least they got Gilius Thunderhead and Alex Kidd in there. My inner Sega fan is being torn apart by the struggle…
Sega Superstars Tennis gives us the most conflicted early feelings of any game we know of in development. On the one hand, it’s Sega. On the other, Sumo Digital is actually doing the work. On the original hand, it’s going to prominently feature Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog. On that other hand again, it has Ulala and Gum and Beat. But back on the negative hand, this is certainly not how we expected to hear from Space Channel 5 and Jet Set Radio‘s main players. Returning to the positive hand, we are pleasantly surprised to see how well Chu Chu Rocket mini-gameplay seems to be integrated.
My brain is about to be ripped in half as I struggle to come to terms with Sega’s answer to Mario Tennis. Do we hate it to death or smother it into oblivion? Someone! Do the thinking for us!
