Some good information here..
The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions are graphically better, more in-your-face. The Wii version, we wanted control with the Wii remote. It’s more family-friendly with mini-games and party games, and obviously the DS version is as well, using the stylus. They [Wii controls] are simple, but we went more in-depth than Wii Sport Tennis. You have to actually hold the controller to the side, like a tennis racket. Depending on which way you hit the racket, forehand, backhand, or whether you’re hitting up or down, you can put a spin on the ball and change the power. With the mini-games there’s definitely a stronger emphasis on the Wii and DS versions. On Wii we have party games for four players. On the DS version we have mini-games like Tic-Tac-Toe, things with the stylus
When it came time for 2K Sports to re-enter the world of Top Spin development, Producer Anthony DeLuca says they started by going back to the gameplay. “We wanted to kick it up a notch,” he said excitedly. “And pretty much jam-pack the controller with different types of shots. We took everything into account: ball physics, your environment, your actual character, and really wanted to bring it up.”
You'll also find information about doubles matches, career mode, and a bit more
