It's not exactly a big surprise, since Sega have released Power Smash Tennis 3 in Japanese arcades (based on their new Lindbergh board - might be in a few Australian arcades now too), and we all know Sega can't resist a home conversion. However, since Virtua Tennis 2 is still the best tennis game to be released, we can't help but be excited.
Sega's statement rambles on about all sorts of nonsense - the usual realistic graphics, fun gameplay and such. Career mode will be making a return, and there will be more training mini-games than ever before.
"The familiar depth of the Virtua Tennis franchise returns with improvements that can only be fully realized on next-gen systems," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "Great pick-up and playability, life-like details, and incredible physics are benchmarks of the series and will make Virtua Tennis 3 the standard by which all tennis games are judged."
Virtua Tennis 3 will be on display at Sega's booth at E3 for the lucky sods that will be there. The rest of us will have til Q1 2007.
