Dev: Top Spin won't have legless, unfinished characters like Wii Sports

PAM's senior producer Jean-Yves Patay has explained that the firm's upcoming Topspin Tennis for the Nintendo Wii will topple the console's tennis crown contested solely by Wii Sports at present.

"I have a son that has lots of fun with Wii Sports", said Patay, but "Topspin on Wii will have completely different play mechanic and a different focus. There'll be no big heads and no players without legs," he said, as he went on to explain why Topspin will be a more "finished game."

Nintendic isn't so sure Payat has heard the full story about Wii Sports when he implies that its legless players exhibit an unfinished game. Shigeru Miyamoto has previously explained that the design of the Mii characters are based on Kokeshi, a form of Japanese doll used as souvenir gifts in Japan.
