Video: Feed Pandas in Virtua Tennis 2009

by Richard Mitchell { Apr 24th 2009 at 3:15AM }

Sega has released a pair of videos detailing the minigames of Virtua Tennis 2009. The series has always been known for its fun and nonsensical training games, and this year's entry appears to be no different. Our favorite of the bunch is definitely Zoo Feeder, in which you launch food at hungry animals with your racket. Call us sentimental, but there's just something magical about smacking a bundle of bamboo directly into a waiting Panda's face.

Check out both videos after the break.

This games seriously looks sweet. I'm assuming the lagging in the video is due to my slow computer :)

Btw, the meat defender part is so hard that even the demonstrator failed to hit the crocs lol.

Fact: Each panda that loses a set in Virtua Tennis is decapitated for use in the Wii Fit soccer game.

looks like the mini games are more fun then the game itself.

Bamboo? At first, I thought it was a dynamite!

you are not the only one! i thought it was one of those japanese developers thing!!!

Let's just hope they tone the difficulty down on this one. It was practically impossible to win a grand slam on the last game.

Really? Maybe you don't understand how to play the game...

SA_Royal @ Apr 24th 2009 5:27AM

Your kidding right Gus....

Gus @ Apr 24th 2009 3:14PM

Nope...Tennis 2K2 was incredibly easy, I could win all Grand Slams without losing a single game. In Virtua Tennis 3, however, the computer will rocket back my 140 mph serves like they are nothing and my guy can't even get to anything they hit without diving. It's ridiculous

DO WANT.

Dude, you're missing a few exclamation marks.

ThornedVenom (of the Fidlious Clan of Wong) @ Apr 24th 2009 6:39AM

But if I put exclamation marks, it would make my post much easier to be confused with sarcasm over the internet.

I hope Trocadero in London replaces their VT3 machines with this update. When SF4 arrived a new VT3 cabinet was also installed. Seemed like a placeholder for this release, however, the cabinet is already showing signs of wear and tear. Damn tourist vandals.
