Ok, picture my man Rafa’s character model here, but about a third as detailed. That’s what you’ll get in my new new favorite upcoming game. Madrid-based development studio Virtual Toys will be the first to make a real Wii tennis game with the big boy version of Rafa Nadal Tennis. WiiSports Tennis can now officially shove it.
The horrible translation from the developer’s page reads: “We are beginning the development of Rafael Nadal Tennis for the Nintendo’s Wii console. In this game you will be able to have a really spectacular control thanks to the novel system of game that provides the new Wii control system.”
Fingers crossed for wifi support. I’ll be faking medical timeouts and making Blake chase my drop shots, Nintendo willing.

Great game play with a third the graphics. We all make our sacrifices. Playing tennis is really fun, but since its cold now and there are no indoor courts in town this game would be a great way to keep my back hand practiced.Great news. WE NEED WiFi!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow. im a real big tennis fan. Rafael Nadal is by far my favorite tennis player, and when i heard that wii tennis' gameplay was really weak, i was disappointed. well lo and behold, rafa comes to save the day haha
This is AWESOME news!I hope they'll do a great job!So the DS version will be followed by a Wii one…schweeeeet!! ^_^
Don´t expect mucho from it. Virtual toys has made a couple of game that sucked big time.
Were they tennis games? If it does suck, then at least they've stepped up to the plate first, allowing others to see that a legitimate Wii tennis game can be done. And maybe some other developer would do it better a lot sooner than if Virtual Toys' game hadn't been the test case.
Hmmm… The site doesn't seem to feature any graphics for the Wii version…Where did you get that graphic for the posting, Rollin?
Virtua Tennis PS3. 🙂
