I wish Sega would bring back Virtua Tennis

I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

Virtua Tennis was always my fav Tennis game. So yeah, I'd love another. The psp one was the last I really enjoyed.

Me too mate. I've been waiting for years for a decent tennis game. MTA is so broken I stopped playing for two days now and the other two new tennis games are meh

Sega should probably bring back a lot of things. Though when it comes to Virtua, its safe to say that just about everything should be brought back in one way shape or form.

We need more tennis and golf games in general.

I absolutely love Virtua Tennis 1, 3, and 4.

Would be thrilled to see the franchise make a return.

So do I.

Agree on this. Day 1 !

Just port VT2 to current gen with full online functionality.

Played Virtua Tennis alot with my dad on Dreamcast. Really good times. Sure. Why not. I'll take a new one especially when World Tour Tennis seems to be awfull and not even finnished.

They are saving it and the majority of its IP's for the top secret Dreamcast 2 they working on ;)

I wish!

I'd slay a dragon for a great new tennis game.

Even more than this I'd want a new Prince of Tennis!

It would probably cost a fortune to re-license all the players...but yeah. It would be awesome if they did.

Virtua Tennis was one of those sports games where I don't give a shit about the actual sport it's portraying but the games are so fun.

After playing Mario Aces, I agree.

I have Virtua Tennis 4 on Steam, which now you can no longer buy... and yeah... these new Tennis games aren't quitting scratching that same itch.

Virtua Tennis 4 still looks and plays amazing by the way.

Played on Dreamcast, great game, the mini games were really fun

Virtua Tennis was the best tennis game since NES Tennis. I have the Vita version but it's not quite the same thing.

You and me both brother, I really enjoyed 4.

Why's that? Been thinking about picking it up.

Hot Shots Tennis was also fun, wish that would come back.

I was just thinking about this the other day. I'd love for Sega to bring back Virtua Tennis.

The 360+PS3 Virtua Tennis was so good. I dumped maybe 80h into the create a character career mode.

Still playing it on my Vita

.

Me too.
I put a lot of time into the career mode on the Vita version (VT4).

And I don't even care about tennis, it was just a good game.

I'd take any version I can get: re-release, remaster, or a brand new entry.

Agree. This or Top Spin.

Last I played was on PS Vita also.

I loved that game. I used to play it in the arcade all the time.

I wouldn't even care if they didn't have licensed characters, the gameplay itself was fun.

Me too. I put so much time into Virtua Tennis 3 on PSP and 4 on Xbox 360. They're such good games, especially career mode with having to manage your calendar and which events you go to, when you train yourself, etc.

Same lol.

Nothing has come close to Virtua Tennis imo. And now I can't even play my copy of VT4 on steam due to that games for windows crap. Or can I? I hope there's a workaround I don't know about.

Edit: so there is a workaround and I can finally play VT4 again. Very happy!

Soccer slam first!

VT was superb, even the mini games were great fun.

They should bring back the sega smash tennis game as well.

Same. I'm really itching for a good tennis game these days.

Agreed. Would buy a Virtua Tennis on Switch in a heart beat.

I keep fantasizing that Sega will have a really big scale Tokyo 2020 Olympics game, with Mario & Sonic fantasy versions for Switch, and proper sports for PS4/Xbone/PC, with each discipline acting like a full fledged Sega sports game (in this case, Tennis).

I would definitely be into a new Virtua Tennis, the one on Vita was great.

Yup. The last one I played was the Vita one and it was fantastic. Would absolutely love another VT.

And whilst we are here, SEGA, Virtua Fighter 6 would be welcome too ;)

I really need to buy the Vita version.

Too bad that the tennis games, that were released this year, got so much negative feedback.

Sega should not abandon the series. There's still demand for a good tennis game.

The only way I see a new project feasible is if in VR. Otherwise, just drop a budget priced compilation of their previous VT games.

It will return eventually, there just is not much of a market for tennis games out there right now.

Virtua Tennis 4 is an absolutely astounding game, especially the brilliant and addicting World Tour mode. Pick it up if you have one of the platforms it is on. Oh! And be sure to check out the free Virtua Tennis Challenge on mobile devices. Once you figure out what controls you want (it has full controller support) it plays like a dream.

That would ironically probably cost way more than it would be to build a Virtua Tennis 5 from scratch because they would have to re-license all of the players. I am sure a few of those people are retired now too.

Virtua Tennis VR is a good idea for sure, but I think Virtua Tennis 5 can exist in today's market just fine. The games always do quite well honestly.

Virtua Tennis is awesome

Tennis games don't seem to sell that well anymore so , sadly, it seems unlikely

Actually, thinking about it Virtua ?Tennis VR could be great

My first exposure to this series was 4 on Vita which I loved (before that I was a Smash Court Tennis kinda guy) so yeah, I'd definitely be down for more.

Can't see much of a market existing for tennis games at the moment though.

Only if Thomas Johansson is back

A port of Virtua Tennis 2 on the Switch would be enough... And I also want Virtua Striker 3, the GameCube version, on there. Make it happen SEGA!

I want a Virtua Striker...Virtua Fighter...Virtua Cop....Virtua...............
