Sega Superstars Tennis

[GagaMan]

I'm quite surprised no one here has made a topic about this multi-format game coming out in march yet. A trailer was released the other that will get any Sega fan drooling with excitement (even if there's no in-game in it).

Or

Also, Eurogamer has a bunch of info: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=90996

* Playable characters include Beat and Gum from Jet Set Radio, Ulala and Pudding from Space Channel 5, and Alex Kidd. Yes, ALEX KIDD.

* Stages include Green Hill, Scrap Brain, the House of the Dead mansion, and Coconut Beach from OutRun!

* Mini-games based on House of the Dead, Puyo Pop, Space Harrier and Virtua Cop!

* Based directly on the Virtua Tennis 3 engine, and developed by Sumo Digital who have been pretty much the best to happen to Sega for years with their console ports of Outrun 2 and Virtua Tennis 3.

* Unlike those games, this game is going to be on almost every console out there: X-Box 360, PS2, PS3, Wii and even DS! Oddly enough there's no PSP or PC versions, though.

* Legendary Sega musician Richard Jacques has composed the theme music. The game will also feature tons of classic Sega music.

To quote the article I wrote about it at Sega Memories:
"This game is truly Sega giving all us long time fans a great big hug. After all the changes they have gone through in the years since they quit the console market, this shows they haven't forgotten about their roots and what made them so great in the first place."

Yeah this is looking great

I mean Alex Kidd is in it!. And a Jet Set Radio Stage!

Also read somewhere that in the Outrun stage the umpire is the Flag man!

Just hope there is a Panzer Dragoon stage and a Crazy Taxi one (they did have tennis courts in Crazy Taxi after all).

And Digital Sumo needs to be bought by Sega.
