Saaaygah Saaaaamba Supahstauuuughs Saaawnic Tennasss
 

I've always wanted to collect knives and forks in a tennis game! So yeah, every system except poor PSP and Atari Lynx. Only the PS3 and 360 versions will have online gameplay, making the others smell a bit. Sumo Digital is a pretty awesome choice of developer, they handled the amazing Outrun 2 Xbox port, along with the recent Virtua Tennis games! ALSO A SUDOKU GAME BLAM BLAM. This could be funtastic. I'm hoping for some more older, obscure Sega characters to pop up (Alex Kidd, Opa-Opa!) but they'll probably just shove Shadow and Marine in there. "Hey mates struth fuck whoa apples" *Everyone leaves*

^_^ I was very happy when I saw that this game had been announced. (As you can see) I really want a half-decent tennis game for the DS, and this one might just be it! Thank u, Sega.

I'm amazed that the DS still hasn't gotten a good tennis game after being on the market for what, three years. ;_;

Be interesting to see how this one shapes up as it could be a good laugh. It does remind me that they need to release another Space Channel 5 though.

I do wish Nintendo and Sega wouldn't insist on ruining potentially good ideas by crowbarring Mario or Sonic into everything. Everybody's Golf was a great game, Mario Golf was gay as all fuck.

A decent remake of Smash Court Tennis (Read, the first one. After that the series went quickly downhill) with online play would be incredible whereas this looks pretty uninspired.

But it wouldn't be a Sega 'superstar' game without Sonic! Remember, he's been in blockbuster smash hit games like Sonic 360, Sonic Riders, Sonic Heroes, Sonic 3D, Sonic Rivals, Sonic.. oh fuck! Actually now that I think about this, there needs to be a House of the Dead court where you can knock down zombies shuffling around the joint in search of the bathroom.

It's about time Sonic got put in a tennis game. I'm debating between getting this for either Wii (Wiimote controls) or 360 (online multiplayer). This should be a fairly decent game. :D

Boy, putting the thing out for 5 completely disparate systems all at once just screams "quality", doesn't it? I feel bad for everyone who's expecting a good tennis game.

Needs more Virtua Tennis 2.

I guess I might check this out at some point, but interest is "meh" right now.

I was hoping the days of Sega stealing every idea Nintendo has ever thought of was long done, but alas!

This isn't to say I won't buy it though, because I'm a faggot like that. SEGA FOR LIFE LOOOL ^____^

Bet you're waiting on a remake of Sonic Spinball as much as I am, too.

(Next up, Sonic Arkanoid.)

Sonic's attempts to mimic Mario now make me laugh.

I mean he's in Brawl, that should be relevant enough--*shot*

Everyone steals from everyone. Xbox guide button ahahaha.

Milking characters by making spinoffs like Tennis and such isn't an original idea. But I'm sure it'll be pretty cool when the final result iWHERE'S MY FUCKING COSMIC SMASH SEQUEL

Sorry for the huge bump, but Sega have just released a new bunch of screenshots of this.
Here are a couple:

IS THAT THE DUDE FROM JET GRIND RADIO?

yes it is.

the game is better be at least as good as mario tennis, but I kind of doubt that...

Beat. :jam: Fuck yes. But that monkey thing can burn in a fire. Super Fire Ball!! yes?

Beat versus NiGHTS in tennis with online play? Sold!

Everybody who keeps bashing this seems to be forgetting that this is being made by the people who made the best tennis games on the market.

Here's hoping that Virtua Tennis gameplay will finally get it's mainstream props with this.

This sounds intresting... YES JET RADIO!

Why isn't Beat cel shaded? A bloody outrage, it is! I want to take this all the way to the prime minister! In Sumo Digital we trust! :3

Fuck this shit, they should all be in Brawl

Why isn't Beat in a new JSR game is the proper question to ask :(

We still don't have an exact release date, other than Q1 2008. Gamestop says March 4th for all five versions, but I want actual proof of that. I'm leaning towards getting it on the 360, unless they add online play for the Wii version.

Because the first two games didn't have Tony Hawk, so no one would buy the third either.
