Just when i thought i was gonna have to put my DS into storage till next year, Rafa comes out of nowhere fist-pumping his way to the touch screen come December.
Madrid-based Virtual Toys, by way of Codemasters, has developed Rafa Nadal Tennis, the first DS tennis game to support full touch controls, something i’ve been waiting on since November 21, 2004. The game’s features include ATP #2 Rafa Nadal, full stylus tennis training, optional pad-n-button controls, single and multi-card wireless (no wifi), and competent 3D graphics that don’t suck, which is an accomplishment in itself for a DS sports game.
From the release:”Using the stylus, players move their tennis star on court and then, by sweeping the stylus across the touch screen, describe serves, lobs, drop shots, powershots and more.” Sounds better than Wii Sports Tennis!
I was so pumped to read this. You know I'm a sucker for a good tennis game, Rollditty.
I know what you mean, Rollin: about a month ago my plan was to stop buying DS games to make room, mostly time-wise, for the Wii games. But then here comes Contact, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, Clubhouse Games, Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2, StarFox Command, etc., etc. And don't get me started on the GBA games! Nintendo has no mercy on the consumers…A good tennis game was something really missing for the DS… I'm hoping this one ends up being as good as it sounds!!
And it all makes me ache for there to be a secret hidden DS cartridge slot on the Wii.
Yea, this was the first time since i discovered Heroes that my mouth gaped over a game. And it's out next month. This game has me more psyched than the Wii launch software. And it all makes me ache for there to be some better quality in the Wii lineup.
OMFG RAFA!!!man this came out of nowhere.VAMOS RAFA!!
lol u kidding?..j-man
