Forums - Nintendo - EA looking to start up Tennis franchise on Wii

FaithRaven on 20 August 2008

"For those of you who're fans of Tennis, rejoice. EA is poised to present their own Tennis title. And, as if that wasn't enough, it will take advantage of Nintendo's new MotionPlus peripheral, joining Ubisoft in proclaiming it's totally awesome. EA also mentions that this will be the first Tennis game to include the All England Lawn Tennis Club, which is where Wimbledon is played."

If it is anything like madden, then it will suck. If it is more like Tiger Woods golf, then it will have more of a chance to be good

What? I thought all tennis games featured the Grand Slam events. I guess I was wrong. Or maybe EA is wrong about their proclamation.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

 They have wimbledon, but not the license to use the name All England Lawn Tennis Club. EA now has that license, so they're correct, but it doesn't really mean anything.

Wii Motion+ could work well but this better not be like Wii Sports where the players moves for you. They need to add nunchuck support so you can freely move around and this could be good.

@ azrm2k - After Wii, they're bringing it to other consoles. So it's pretty definite that you'll have analogue support for moving your dudes around.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
