GameRecoil -> -> Mario Power Tennis Has Great Controls - Looks Fun

• 

  
  

  Today, Nintendo revealed that the New Play Control version of Mario Power Tennis is going to be receiving a new control update to play the experience better. The controls consist of swinging your Wiimote in a variety of ways that mimic real tennis techniques.
  
  "Serve
  Swing the Wiimote from down to up to toss the ball up, then swing to serve.
  
  Top Spin
  Swing from lower right to upper left for forehand. Reverse for a backhand.
  
  Slice Spin
  Swing from upper right to lower left for forehand. Reverse for backhand.
  
  Flat Shot
  Swing from right to left for a forehand. Reverse for a backhand.
  
  Lob
  Swing the Wiimote from down to up.
  
  Drop
  Swing the Wiimote from up to down.
  
  Smash
  When presented with a smash opportunity, a star will appear on the court. Move your character over the star, then swing up to down to perform a smash. "
  
  Along with these moves, each Mario character has their own "special" move.
  
  This looks like it's going to be a big improvement over the Wii Sports version of tennis. You'll be able to move your character around with the left thumbstick on the Nunchuk. Speaking from a Wii Sports tennis addict, this is going to help a lot. I can't count the times I screamed at my tv when my character wouldn't respond and go where I wanted her to. (You can choose to keep the auto movement selection on, however.)
