This is my first official blog post as a member of the SEGA Community
team, so hello all! I’m really excited to be working for one of the
best gaming companies on the planet. As I’ve been playing their games
for over 20 years, I thought it only right that they should give me a
job. We’ve got some great titles coming out in the next few months, and
I will be giving you the inside info on some of these and much
more.

Anyway, on with the
news.

Not sure if you saw the news
story, but Sumo Digital are currently hard at work
on a new
game for us; SEGA Superstars
Tennis. Due for release in early 2008, SEGA Superstars Tennis is
one of those fun, pick-up-and play games where traditional tennis rules
are thrown out in favour of all-out fun and frolics on the
court.

Currently,
info is a little thin on the ground (a bit like my hair), but what we
do know is:

• More than 15 playable
  characters from SEGA’s army of gaming idols including Sonic, AiAi,
  Ulala, and Amigo.
• Each character will have a unique
  ability.
• Exhibition and Tournament
  modes.
• Different courts in some very familiar
  locations such as Green Hill Zone and Carnival
  Park.
• It’s coming out on loads of formats: PS3,
  Xbox 360, PS2, Wii and DS.
• You can play your online
  buddies with the PS3 and Xbox 360
  versions.
• There’ll be loads of unlockable
  extras.

We’ll bring you more info on
how the game is coming along soon. I’ll see if I can sneak into
Fortress SEGA and nab some exclusive pics and videos for the
blog.

In the
meantime, what SEGA character would you like to see make an appearance?
