You have this great Wiimote that can be like holding a racquet in your hand. If they brought out a Virtua Tennis for the Wii with controls as good or better than Wii Sports tennis, the game would sell like hot cakes.
But no, they go ahead and release the same old gamepad button-mashing crap on the other three systems. Go figure.
