Sega Superstars Tennis - SEGA is an asshole

[Overbite]

So SEGA decided to go and gather up most of its worst characters and put them in a tennis game. The result is SEGA SUPERSTARS TENNIS.

Here's the crappy list of characters that are going to be in the game

Sonic
Tails
Amy
Shadow
Eggman
AiAi
MeeMee
Ulala
Pudding
Alex Kidd
Amigo
Nights
Reala
Gum
Beat


plus one super secret character who will probably end up being something crappy as well.



I would be interested in this if they went and got characters from games in their entire history such as Fantasy Zone, Space Harrier, Phantasy Star, Streets of Rage, Virtua Fighter, and so many more but nope, we get Sonic tennis plus some other crappy games.

Don't get me wrong, having JSR and Alex Kidd in there is cool and all but we don't need 5 Sonic characters and we sure as hell don't need 2 from Nights, Monkey Ball, and Space Channel 5. We don't need any from those. Well, maybe the main guy from Nights but thats it.

So much wasted potential

bitch bitch bitch....

if this has the same mechanics as the original virtua tennis, it will be a good game

I think the only reason to play this over vitrua tennis would be the characters so since they went and screwed that up, why not just play virtua tennis?

I'm a really bitter gamer

If this game plays like Virtua Tennis and has Alex Kidd, Ulala, Pudding and NiGHTS I am in!

[Slate]

I think that including NiGHTS and reala was a good idea, But they didn't have to put so many sonic characters in. They could have put in some characters from Jet Grind Radio in too.

I'm surprised to see Alex Kidd in there. I don't see anything wrong with Ulala and Super Monkey Ball characters being in there either. Think of it this way: at least there's only five Sonic characters in there, and not ten.

(Vectorman would have been cool.)

[roushimsx]

I'm gay for Sumo Digital and Virtua Tennis, so I guess I'll have to take it in the pooper with the crappy character selection to get my kicks. Let's hope for a secret guest appearance by Hornet.

[RadiantSvgun]

I'd have liked to see some Streets of Rage or Golden Axe characters in there.

This actually looks all kinds of awesome, and if they indeed have it play like Virtua Tennis we'll have reason to have at least a little bit of faith back in Sega.

Now, let us all cross our collective fingers and hope that the super secret character is none other than Ryo Hazuki of the Hazuki Dojo.



Harrier is also acceptable, or the blonde chick from Outrun.

Oh no... Sega's turning into Nintendo.

Milking their characters for all their worth. Which, with Sega's track record as of late, isn't gonna help them out too much.

If Ryo Hazuki came out I would get it for sure.
Excuse me, how about a game of tennis?

Sega is an asshole? Weak grammer. Perhaps: "The people running Sega are a Bunch of assholes."

I think they were going the playful side and that's why they left some of the more realistic characters out. Some of the VF kids would have been cool I'd like to have seen more too, Vectorman obviously, and perhaps, Ristar and Dynamite Headdy. But all told, not bad.

[Dreamc@sting]

I like the line-up and would totally buy this, although I do agree that 5 sonic characters are not needed. I'd definitely throw some others in, how about ristar? or vectorman? like said by a few others

[Snapple]

I think you're being way too hard on Sega here. That's a good lineup, and yes, it is totally understandable why they have five Sonic characters in there. Because that is Sega's flagship. The same reason why Smash Bros has six or so Mario characters.

[Maxx]

Oh no... Sega's turning into Nintendo..

This was my thoughts exactly. Seems Nintendo Marioizes every sport.

I second the coolness factor if Vectorman was holding a tennis racket.

[digitalpress]

LOVE the line-up. Hope the gameplay is solid. That's what counts to me.

[Sanriostar]

PENGO!!!

The secret character will be PENGO!!!!!!!!

[Nikademus1969]

PENGO!!!

The secret character will be PENGO!!!!!!!!

Or the dude from Congo Bongo

[Push Upstairs]

I heard the Outrun Ferrari will be the hidden character.

Well, the dude from Space Harrier might not be a playable character, but EuroGamer's confirmed there'll at least be a Space Harrier mini-game in here!
