The Wii has needed a really good sports game for a long time now. A game as simple as Wii tennis in concept, so those who aren't regular gamers can pick it up quickly. But a game which also offers depth, challenge and reward. Well, Rockstar's gone and done it.
They've done it by taking a game which was great on Xbox 360 and making it great on Wii. Table Tennis surprised many people when it first turned up, and not just because it wasn't full of murder. It was simple, but well designed, combining brilliant gameplay with pleasing visuals and sponky music. It didn't offer a dozen modes or hours of fun for the solo player or billions of options for choosing the colour of their character's eyelashes, and it was priced accordingly.
A distinguished trio of Rockstar Xbox 360 titles are coming to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility catalog next week: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Midnight Club: Los Angeles and Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis.
Definitely with you on the Midnight Club but Table Tennis was pretty awesome too!.
Hell yeah! Gamestop has Table Tennis for $2.99 now, and Midnight Club LA Complete for $9.99, Guarantee the prices will rise tomorrow so get them now.
I literally just bought LA Complete but for PS3 instead due to their 4 for $20 ($16 with Elite Pro) sale. Glad I have my receipt at least.

Ten years to the day it was released, here's why Rockstar's sports sim is well worth revisiting.
ChampChong drops by the Pocket studio to chat with NichBoy and school him in RockStar Games Presents Table Tennis.
What year is it? I'm serious, somebody tell me what year it is?!!! <collapses in a disoriented mess>
Dammit! I saw this headline and initially thought they were doing a sequel. Such a quality addictive game.
Even this garbage is going to score better than R&C. Color me impressed
