We already knew a PlayStation 3 version of Virtua Tennis 4 was in the works, but today, Sega announced that the franchise will also be appearing on the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360. It comes out in Spring 2011.
According to Sega, the game has been developed to take full advantage of Kinect for Xbox 360, the PlayStation Move, and Wii's MotionPlus, essentially doubling-down on the motion control. Tennis, as a sport, is uniquely suited to motion control-- there's a reason everyone played Wii Sports Tennis when the Wii launched -- so I'll bet this will be an amazing experience for you net-heads out there.
DETAILS: Virtua Tennis 4 hands-on preview.
Virtua Tennis 4 boasts more than simply a emphasis on motion-control, it will also feature the top stars in the world of tennis, including world No.1 Rafael Nadal, 16-time major champion Roger Federer and UK No.1 Andy Murray. Joining them for the first time are seven new champions making their debut to the series, enabling players to take on the likes of Juan Martín Del Potro, Fernando Gonzalez, Caroline Wozniacki and Laura Robson.

I'm a big tennis fan and always loved tennis games, so hell yeh, I think VT4 is definitely the game for me -- IF IT WILL BE ON THE PC! Otherwise, FAIL and thanks a lot Sega.

I am interested to see how they handle the Kinect controls.

Based on the Wii install base and the # of Kinects sold, Saga has made profitable choice.

never really been all that big of a fan of Tennis. But eversince the Dreamcast I have always enjoyed Virtua Tennis. I'm pretty sure it'll be that much more fun with the Kinect, Move, and Wii. But I'm pretty sure I'll still have playing it the old fashioned way
