This is a sentence we never dreamed we’d be typing, even in our wildest SEGA fantasies - here’s a look at Tails playing Virtua Cop with tennis balls in SEGA Superstars Tennis on Wii. We even filmed it from “WiiCam” perspective, which puts you at the heart of the action like never before!

This mini event makes up one of the vast number of little party games that give you something else to do in SST than simply play tennis. If you remember the staggering Saturn version of Virtua Cop, this will bring up those goose bumps.

Other SST mini games we played included one based around Dreamcast game Chu Chu Rocket, where your shots direct mice into spaceships if you aim at and hit the right spot, plus a House of the Dead-themed zombie-avoidance game where you just run around the court trying not to get cuddled by zombies. Yes, cuddled - there’s no nastiness in this game, thanks to its family nature.

Incidentally, the DS version of SST was also at yesterday’s SEGA event. It has the same content and characters as the Wii game, only the graphics aren’t all 3D - the backgrounds are pre-rendered, with 3D characters running about on top of them. It looked rather stunning and is in no way a poorer cousin of the home versions.
