Rockstar to rock Table Tennis at Leipzig

It's been little under a month since the official announcement that Rockstar would be bringing its budget Xbox 360 title Table Tennis to the Wii. That, of course, has made us very sad bloggers, as if there is any game deserving a port to the Wii, it's this one. Seriously, we can't wait to ping pong it up (if only we had confirmation of Wi-Fi compatibility).

Now, word comes that Rockstar will be at the Leipzig Games Convention to unveil the next installment in their Midnight Club franchise and, more importantly, show off the Wii version of Table Tennis. Until then, we'll just have to wait it out until some video manages to find its way onto the net or Rockstar dishes out a press release confirming the inclusion of Wi-Fi.

If ever there was a game that had 0 room for lag it's this one. Unless they can make 100% lag free online, I don't want it.

I can buy the 360 version for $20 but I'm still holding off to see what the Wii port will offer. Scaled down visuals for better controls is a fair trade, if the controls work.

This is going to be one impressive Wii title. Let's just hope they don't make it like Wii Tennis and the characters walks around on their own.

@steve: Didn't the characters walk around on their own in the 360 version? I rememebr playing the demo at best buy and you really didn't control lateral movement.

I haven't played the 360 version in a while but the way I remember it is that you used the left analog to move the character AND to aim the shot, and you could use the second analog to charge up the different shots (as a replacement for the four buttons). Wii Sports Tennis would be like using only the right analog for this game, which would make it very stupid, IMO.

They should use the nunchuk analog and the remote together, The Bigs showed that it can be done well.
