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!

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.

Latest by Pietepiet: @Fyren: Wow, apparently someone hasn't played Super Monkey Ball, Jet Set Radio, Space Channel 5, Samba de Amigo and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.. I think this game looks great. The fact that the Virtua Tennis team is making it only adds to more »

Samba de Amigo... Tennis?!

Sega, capitalizing on the two things it does best, creating original tennis games and pumping out Sonic the Hedgehog appearances, is bringing the two together with Sega Superstar Tennis. Like the PlayStation 2 EyeToy cash-in Sega Superstars, the tennis game brings together franchise leaders Sonic, Ulala from Space Channel 5 and Amigo from Samba de Amigo, puts them in various Sega themed tennis courts and lets them duke it out. Other franchises are sure to be represented in Sega Superstar Tennis, in good hands at Sumo Digital, and we have our fingers crossed for representation from House of the Dead and Altered Beast.

It's coming to everything—PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and Nintendo DS—for maximum profit. A handful of screens await you.

Driver 76 Heads To PSP

Ubisoft is bringing the Driver franchise to the PlayStation Portable, courtesy of developers Reflections and PSP wizards Sumo Digital. Set in 1976, the game has nothing to do with the previous 1976 classic Interstate 76, but will pre-date the previous Driver title, Parallel Lines, by a good two years. That means you can expect familiar territory, textures and afros. More »
