Rockstar's Table Tennis Is Wii Bound
In a move that seems as natural as pairing up beans with rice, Rockstar is bringing their Table Tennis game to the Wii. Thankfully they have a game that will not cause too much controversy, they have enough on their plates as it is. However, they could change the game to Deathmatch Table Tennis Thunderdome Edition, where combatants fight for their own survival suspended by bungee cords with chainsaws hanging from the ceiling. Two men enter, one man leaves, those are the rules of Tennisdome!
Actually, this will be a great move for Rockstar. They have made a name for themselves as a studio that stirs up controversy. When they release a game like this on the Wii, which has a huge user base, hopefully they will win some more supporters. Maybe they can work wonders with the motion-sensitive controls and release a game that is better than the 360 version.
So far, there isn’t any screenshots, or release dates, but stay tuned and expect to see this game in the Fall.
Make the jump for the full press release.
