Information AboutTennis (video Game) |
''Tennis'' is a Video Game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986 . The concept of the game is very basic in that the player controls one person faced against an opponent CPU player. This game uses the same scoring system as "real-life" Tennis . The game also features a doubles (2-player) option. The opponent CPU player can be set at 5 difficulties. The player has only two choice of hitting the ball: a normal stroke (button A), or a Lob (button B). The direction of the ball depends on the timing of the stroke, e.g. if the (right-handed) player hits a Forehand early, the ball goes wide to the right, and if he hits it late, then the ball hooks to the left. If the player can reach a lob from the opponent, he can Smash it. At higher difficulties, it is almost impossible to win the point except with a smash. In 1989 , ''Tennis'' was re-released for the Game Boy , and again in 2002 for the E-Reader and in the Nintendo GameCube game, '' Animal Crossing ''. Apart from other Nintendo First Party tennis games such as Mario Tennis ( Nintendo 64 ) and Mario Power Tennis ( GameCube ), this game had much more realistic physics. You could accidentally hit the ball out of the court. In the other games, it would limit your power and the ball would almost always stay in the court, helping gameplay last longer. New popular choice of tennis video games are Virtua Tennis on Playstation 2 (released in 2000) and '''Top Spin''' on Playstation 2 and X-Box (released in 2003). |
