Table Tennis Hands-On

Few would argue with the success of Wii Sports. The tennis game alone is good for hours of social fun. But wouldn't it be nice to actually be able to control your Mii as it ran around on the court? You know, just in case you wanted a little extra involvement in your game beyond swinging the Wiimote at the right time.

Don't worry, casual gamers, there's room for you here too.
