After recapturing my drifting thoughts that Virtua Tennis is the best sports game ever made, I was thinking that it'd be a fantastic game for the GBA. Ok, so the graphics will not be as fabulous nor the sound as crystal clear, but think about it!

Link up play! 4 player link up play would be fantastic - with just one player per console, naturally, you could have the option of changing the view of your player in doubles. it would be easier for the player serving on the 'harder' side and so the game would absolute storm the charts and be brilliant! I can't see it happening at the moment, but definitely a Virtua Tennis 2 on GBA is a very likely possibility to be released next Wimbledon time!

The prospect of female players as well as male, the graphics would be great - with characters looking realistic, but in a Tony Hawk's 2 animation style - I can't wait! I'll have to though, darn it!

Ah yes, can you see it now - I can visualize the flattened box arriving on my doorstep - and I wouldn't care as long as the game worked, and it would!! Hopefully.

So Sega, yes I appreciate your brining of Golden Axe, ChuChu rocket, Sonic and others to the Nintendo handy held, but if you told me you were never going to bring out Virtua Tennis on the GBA, I would say:

"Oi, Sega NO! You may have deserted us Europeans, sealed off the Dreamarena and canned Black n White, but we love your games, they rule and you'd be foolish to refuse the GBA Virtua Tennis"

Do you agree?

World circuit mode for the single player with no friends at the time, 4player link up doubles action for those with 3 friends who own a GBA! You see? This gaming business helps you socialise too!

It's a strong rumour but the rumour came from the company itself so it has a strong chance of being true.

Who said B&W was coming to the GBA? Own up, go on!

There is very little chance of B&W coming to the GBA. The only way it could be done would be to completely change the game engine and cut out htings like free roaming camera, which would completely play change the game.

It would be an act of magic to be able to program B&W for the GBA.




In my opinion.

I think a version of Super Tennis from the SNES would be more appropriate!! It would be awesome to have Virtua Tennis on the GBA but I actually prefer Super Tennis, and it would be a perfect translation to the GBA!!!

Yeah but it would be radically different from the console version. At least with super tennis you know what you're getting.

Nah Virtua Tennis is the best Tennis game around and is perfect for the GBA - only 2 buttons needed! And the D-pad of course.

Yes Virtua Tennis would be a good game but no better than Mario Tennis on the GBC.

Super Tennis from the SNES would be a better alternative as it offers playability that can easily be transfered to the GBA and it has a better multiplayer playability imo.

I just read that Black and White was being converted to the GBA

Sega choosing to NOT publish B&W is effectively canning it. Lionhead aren't likely to find anyone.

About Dreamarena - it's still there, not that many people ever bother with it, but where's the Dreamarena disc 2!!!!!!?

Reverse the name, it's all in the games. Sega Ages.

Also a good game was Sega Ages volume 1. Games - m + rearranged = Sega.

Couple of things:

Yeah a GBA version of VT would be good, i was thinking about that yesturday actually.

Has Dreamarena been sealed off? Do you mean i can't log onto it anymore?

Also Sega hasn't canned B&W, they are just not going to publish it. Lionhead are continuing the conversion and hope to find another publisher.
