From IGN.com:
EA Sports will bring tennis to life and allow players to experience the pressure and excitement of competing in the greatest theaters in the game, and it will be the only videogame to feature the All England Lawn Tennis Club – home of The Championships, Wimbledon. The all-new EA Sports tennis franchise will offer innovative ways to play, both as or against the greatest players from the past or present, letting you control the ball and work the court like you never have before in a tennis videogame.
From Kotaku.com:
The Wii tennis game, which is slated to use Wii MotionPlus for more serious racket control, goes for a nice blend of realism and caricature, making pro tennis players like Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick, and Pete Sampras less creepy than their hi-def counterparts.
A commenter on the article on Kotaku said that the IGN Nintendo team gave the game very high praise on their podcast, mentioning that the motion controls were the best they've seen since Wii Sports.
Oh boy. Did I just give out that I am harboring a secret passion for video games?
No matter. Here are some screenshots of Rafa in the game.
But of course, the image of crowning glory:
Now. Who wants to be a generous benefactor and buy me a Wii? Anyone??!?
Me want!
ReplyDeleteI really need Wii - we've been planning to get it for a while but nada. Oh, is Wii Rafa anatomically correct? And is he available for house parties??
ReplyDeleteMe and my 8 year old sister was putting our money together to buy a Wii - but then she reneged on me and bought herself a Nintendo DS Lite instead. The little traitor!!
ReplyDeleteSo no Wii. :'(
Looking at his face in the screenshots they look like they got it close enough, Rich. But I worry about the bulgeless crotch....
Ewwww - it's asexual Rafa. Does he spawn buds to reproduce too? Maybe it's a Ken doll in Rafadrag.
ReplyDeleteOh God. Do they sell mediteranean Ken nowadays??
ReplyDelete*plots something*
Ooooh - MedKen sounds H-O-T. The things you could do with that lump-for-a-penis.
ReplyDelete*faints*
1. I cannot believe you're sexualizing a Ken. And that I'm falling for it. *slaps self*
ReplyDelete2. With all the comments here, I'd never be able to put Adsense. *cries*
of course you would - i have it on mine. i have no idea why though cuz i've made $100 in almost 2 freakin years. it's a waste of space but it's a pretty yellow *smiles* so i keep it.
ReplyDeletei only sexualize MedKen - def not waspy Ken. Icks. He's shite (if he had a shite) is mos def pasty pink. EWWWWWWWW!
But that's before the Rafanatics like me comes and takes over DtL. That's when the comment section got reeeeally raunchy. ;) But $100! EEK!
ReplyDeleteOh God. Wasp-y Ken! EW. He has this orange fake tan and blonde and too white teeth - eeeeew.
Do they make Filipino Ken I wonder? LOL
Raunchiness is a virtue I say. Yup, $100 whole bucks. I have no idea how to work the whole ad thing anyway - still learning and f-ing up.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Filipino Ken but if I find him, his mound is mine!
LOL!!
ReplyDeleteIs Filipino mound, er, substantial? Totally for research. Nothing else. ;)
Well this Filipino's mound is, er, substantial. At least that's what I've read...somewhere...on some wall...on some stall.
ReplyDeleteAh, a Filipino stallion, eh? Its name doesn't start with K and ends with L does it?
ReplyDeleteOh god, is he even Filipino??
No it's me! HAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteHe's Dominican + Ecuadorian. It's all good there.
If I thought you'd be shy to admit it.. I'd have been dead wrong! LOL
ReplyDeleteOoooooh. Good genes there. Good to know it fulfils the promise it ;)
