Sega Superstars Tennis 2? Hahahahaha! That's a good one! With the game just five weeks old in North America, GameStop is already slashing prices on Sega and Sumo Digital's Sonic-filled answer to Mario Tennis, with Sega Superstars Tennis bottoming out at $19.99 USD for the Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2. The Nintendo DS version? Just $14.99 USD.

If you're in need of a GTA IV hype deflection shield or you're now willing to bite at this price—even I am, despite my bitterness about a lack of Space Harrier or Cosmic Smash Guy—you can pick it up in-store or online as of right now.

Sega Superstars Tennis Trailer

On the fence about which version of Sega Superstars Tennis to grab? Then you'll "love" this trailer. Get it? Tennis! Not sure if I'm frothing for essentially another go at Virtua Tennis, but maybe I'm just bitter about Shadow and Pudding taking up valuable slots in the roster. At least they got Gilius Thunderhead and Alex Kidd in there. My inner Sega fan is being torn apart by the struggle...

Sega Superstars Tennis Gets Chu Chu Rockety

Sega Superstars Tennis gives us the most conflicted early feelings of any game we know of in development. On the one hand, it's Sega. On the other, Sumo Digital is actually doing the work. On the original hand, it's going to prominently feature Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog. On that other hand again, it has Ulala and Gum and Beat. But back on the negative hand, this is certainly not how we expected to hear from Space Channel 5 and Jet Set Radio's main players. Returning to the positive hand, we are pleasantly surprised to see how well Chu Chu Rocket mini-gameplay seems to be integrated.

My brain is about to be ripped in half as I struggle to come to terms with Sega's answer to Mario Tennis. Do we hate it to death or smother it into oblivion? Someone! Do the thinking for us!

Sega Superstars Tennis Screen Blowout... Now With Conflict!

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 16:40:39 MST

The latest shots of Sega and Sumo Digital's console and handheld tennis effort, Sega Superstars Tennis, have sparked great conflict within. Should we be angry at Sega, firing off bitter, expletive laden e-mails and befouling its name on message boards for taunting us with a half-assed reintroduction to seemingly forgotten characters like Jet Set Radio's Beat? Or should we just be content that the publisher isn't handing off development duties on a third stylish futuristic inline skating adventure to a Western developer who specializes in boxing games? Still haven't decided. Help us figure out if we should be grumpy or simply thankful with 20 new screens of Sega Superstars Tennis for Xbox 360.

Sega Superstar Tennis Takes Me Back

Mike Fahey — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 09:40:09 MST

While I have no doubts that Sega Superstars Tennis will be just another throwaway Sega title that kids will love but critics will pan, there is just something about seeing Samba De Amigo that warms my heart and takes me back to a better place. Back to the year 2000, when the Dreamcast was still a going concern. When I lived as one of three roommates in a spacious apartment and could afford 2-3 new games every weekend. Back when games still came in jewel cases...I think I prefer the smell of a new jewel case to the plastic of a DVD case. Don't look at me like that - you know the smell. As you look through this gallery of screens for the Xbox 360 version of the game (due out in March in case you were curious), think about the sights, sounds, and yes - the scents of gaming. Where do they take you?
