EA has announced that tennis legend John McEnroe will headline a roster of some of the sport’s all-time greats to be featured in EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis.
McEnroe will make his video game debut in EA’s new tennis franchise.
“It’s great that EA Sports has embraced tennis into its family of games. I think it’s a solid sign the sport is thriving and I hope it will continue to generate more interest and excitement in tennis,” said McEnroe. “Having Wimbledon exclusive to this game is huge because Wimbledon is such a special tournament, for the entire sport of tennis and for me personally.”
EA Sports Tennis will be released first on Wii and will be one of the first games compatible with the Wii MotionPlus, which EA says will enhance “the one-to-one motion with added shot depth and precise ball placement”.
EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis will be released in June for Wii, with versions for other platforms to follow.
