    Rumor: Rockstar Table Tennis for Wii


    No one seems to think this one has a chance in hell, but I'm going to roll the dice one more time and take a chance on it (the last time I did that, Beautiful Katamari turned out to be one heck of a rumor winner). Indisputedly, table tennis of Rockstar's calibur would rock on the Wii. Even though I (personally) found the controls on the Xbox 360 version to have a bit of a learning curve, the graphics were pretty awesome. So what's keeping it back? David Hinkle from Nintendo Wii Fanboy thinks:

    ...(T)he game runs on the RAGE engine (which also powers the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV), allowing for some spiffy high-res graphics. Toning them down would turn this already beautiful game into something a lot less appealing to the eye. Of course, that isn't the end of the world, but asking consumers to pay near the same price for it on the Wii with sub-par graphics and new controls might be a problem.

    I say, technology-schmology. Rockstar can figure it out, and even if they can't, it doesn't mean that ping pong isn't in the Wii's not-too-distant future.
