Out of nowhere, SEGA has revealed that it's releasing SEGA Superstars Tennis for Xbox 360, PS2, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii and DS early next year. The tennis game features classic characters such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Ulala from Space Channel 5. They also mention "some of the most unusual courts and outrageous settings ever imagined".
SEGA Superstars Tennis is being developed by Sumo Digital, the team behind the enjoyable Virtua Tennis 3. This new game has 15 playable characters (and a bunch of SEGA icons cheering on from courtside), each with their own over-the-top tennis skills. Courts are SEGA-themed too, with Green Hill Zone and Samba de Amigo's Carnival Park currently revealed. Alongside exhibition and tournament modes, Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 editions are confirmed to feature online play.
"SEGA Superstars Tennis has the potential to be one of the most fun and accessible sports games ever", said Gary Knight, European marketing director. "The fantastic Sumo Digital team has had access to a wealth of SEGA IP and you'll be surprised at the gaming icons that will be making an appearance!"
