We just got official word from Take-Two Interactive that they are releasing Top Spin for the Nintendo Wii console. Top Spin on the Wii will be released in Spring 2008 and looks to be a natural fit with the Wiimote capabilities and will allow for up to four player tennis action on te same console, something tells me that 4 player action will lead to some people getting whacked.

From the press release:

New York, NY - August 22, 2007 - 2K Sports, the sports publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today it will be releasing Top Spin Tennis for the Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo.

Namco Bandai sent us word today that Smash Court Tennis 3 for the PSP has shipped to retailers in the US. The game looks to be an amazing portable tennis game.

Smash Court Tennis 3 features 16 Pro players such as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to face off with in seven gameplay modes, including Arcade mode, Tutorial mode, Exhibition mode, Pro Tour mode, and unique mini-games including Pac-Man tennis and Bomb Tennis. Plus there’s the ability to edit your player how you wish, so you can look great while you smoke an ace by your opponent. There’s also game sharing and Ad-hoc multiplayer to prove how good you are.

This is one I’m looking forward to. Tennis games are great for a portable system, since you can hop in and play a match fairly quickly. I would definitely recommend checking this one out.
