That's the main reason why I don't have a Wii yet.

Also, TT was 'ok' on the 360. I played it a few times, but it didnt keep me playing through the whole tournament setting.

Interesting don't know if they are able to pull off the RAGE engine on Wii. To be honest on the 360 I didn't play it all that much. Anyone expecting online, stop now. Nintendo's cooperation with third parties is dire at best.

Tell that to EA, who're releasing Medal Of Honour, Madden 08, Fifa 08 and Tiger Woods 08 all with online play. Ubisoft who're releasing Nitrobike with online and Atari who're releasing Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 with online. They're just the one's that're confirmed.

Nintendo made a big point of highlighting online play at E3 and while local multiplayer might be their focus, they have definitely heard the cries for more online multiplayer.

I'm one of the few people who probably really loves this game on the 360. I dunno why. I think it's because I really got into table tennis when we had a table in the office and it turned out one of my co-workers was pro-level when he was in college back in Korea. Amazing to watch.

We had a couple of departmental tournaments... ah, the good ol days.

Anyways, back to the game: I got pretty good when I got it for my 360. I played a few people on XBL and often they wouldn't talk and would leave when losing. Oh well.

I wanna work in an office with a table :P

What took them so long?

I loved it too. Even though the control should be stellar on the Wii, I'm having a hard time picturing it without the sweet, HD graphics. That was certainly part of its appeal.

I thought it was pretty good for a tech demo.
