Tennis Champs Returns Arrives on iOS
February 17, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
Uprising Games is delighted to announce the release of Tennis
Champs: Returns, for iOS at midnight tonight (Wednesday 17th
Feb) after a period of softlaunch.
..but World wide launch is just the start, with updates planned
to bring yet more content and ways to play, as we head to the
Summer.
Tennis Champs Returns
20 years after the original Tennis Champs and Super Tennis
Champs hit the Amiga, this is the "King of Tennis Games" brought
nicely up to date.
Tennis Champs Returns features new visuals staying true to the
original pixel style, but with all new 3D arenas and retouched
animation frames.
All new ball physics make the action more realistic than ever,
and new controls which put all manner of top spin, slices, lobs
and drop shots at your instant disposal.
Combined with an all new career mode pitting you against a field
of 200 Tennis Pros on a full calendar of tour events, all new
training minigames, and a Daily Challenge mode, It's a whole new
game that captures all the fun of the original.
Original Game Info
Originally an Amiga game released in 1995, "Super Tennis Champs"
picked up numerous review awards, including a prestigious "Amiga
Format Gold" with scores north of 90% (93% The One Amiga, 92%
Amiga Power) and is regarded as a bit of a cult classic.
Particularly due to it's odd history as a cover mount game on
Amiga Power (as plain old Tennis Champs) leading to its Super-er
sequel as a full game.
