Hi all,

Does anyone have details on how the Wii remote will work w/Top Spin 3? I'm wondering if the game would be able to read the difference in swinging the Wii-mote fore-handed or back-handed (so if the ball is heading toward your backhand, and you swing your Wii-mote with a forehand, you'd actually miss, and vice-versa). Another Wii tennis game will automatically choose your player's swing, depending on which way the ball is, which is not fun (why bother ever swinging your Wii-mote backhanded?). Also, would the game translate your swing speed, spin, the way your racquet's head is facing, etc.?

Top Spin has always been my favorite tennis videogame series, so I really hope the controls are nailed down.

Yes, the release date is listed as June 23rd, yet there seems to be virtually no info on the Wii version (controls, screenshots, video) like there is for the PS3/360 versions. Hmm, will it make the release date?

Thanks for the link on the controls! I'd still like to see some Wii screenshots/videos this close to release...

Looks like they finally put up something for the Wii.

Looks like slo-mo for some reason... Can we get a list of features for the Wii version, please?
