Nintendo DS Media | Rafa Nadal Tennis

By Jorge Ba-oh 20.12.2006 7

Codemasters have revealed the first footage from their DS tennis simulation, Rafa Nadal Tennis, featuring the young World Number 2 ranked ATP player at his best.

The game, in development by Virtual Toys, features a unique way to play the sport on the DS using touch screen control for every serve, lob, shot and power shot - from aiming to the angle and length of each shot. For those unwilling to make the change, the game also features traditional d-pad input.Gameplay wise Rafa Nadal Tennis features 20 different tournaments spread over 17 international locations playing either as the man himself or creating a custom character with unique attributes/features. Single and multi-card play are avaliable for up to four players to get in on the tennis action on the move.

Stick with C3 for future media updates..

Might seem like a dumb question but, who the fuck is superstar Rafa Nadal? Shouldn't it be Rafael Nadal?

Rafa is a shortened version of Rafael, like Ben is for Benjamin. Think about cultural differences before blurting.

It seemed odd to me too, but I guess it makes it sound more 'cool' and 'happening'...

Trying to think of a witty signature after 'Hacker-gate'...

Looks better than that last tennis game that came out for the DS.

Top Spin 2 wasn't actually that bad a game. It was comparable to Mario Tennis maybe on the GBC in terms of gameplay, albeit with N64-ish graphics. Lots of fun though. Hopefully this'll be better. I like my tennis games I do

(Now where is Pro Badminton 2007? THAT would rock)

I thought that might be the case hence
