The best Tennis game ever?

davewhite04 · 11 Jul 2015 at 14:06

I will be having a Tennis game session this weekend and will be playing Super Tennis on my SNES. To me this game has never been matched for shear multiplayer or even single player tennis fun. Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast is also class but Super Tennis with its limited depth still beats it imo.

I've a Tennis game for my PC Engine (Davis Cup) that I haven't tried, but surely there's others out there that give Super Tennis a run for its money?

What's your favourite Tennis game, and what system(s) was it released on?

Ones I've played:

Super Tennis
Virtua Tennis (Dreamcast, PSP, PS Vita, PS3)
Top Spin (360)
Mario Tennis (Gameboy Advance, Gamecube)

Top spin 2 (360) for me, it was difficult to master but once you got the hang of the controls it was purely amazing.

That seems to be the case with Top Spin. Thing is I'll be playing my brother who doesn't usually game, so if I was a Top Spin pro I'd whip his ass, whereas Super Tennis is really easy to get into.

Never played it for the N64, I guess it is probably similar to the Gamecube version.

I like it on the advance because it's like a rpg, same with the Golf which is superb. Damn I need to get my Gamecube setup with the Gamecube Advance add-on.

Smash Court Tennis on PSX was a lot of fun.

Pete Sampras on the Mega Drive, and Mario Tennis on the N64

I just remember the original Virtua Tennis and I thought it was great at the time.

The only one I've every played is Match Point on the Spectrum 48k so I'd have to vote for that one!

Vinno · 11 Jul 2015 at 20:55

I think Top Spin is the only one I've ever played

It seemed alright though at the time lol.
