The game's emphasis is on putting the tennis racket in the palm of the player's hand with the Wii Remote. As one of the first games to feature Wii MotionPlus support, Grand Slam Tennis uses the new technology to enhance its gameplay with added shot depth, precise ball placement on the court, and racket rotation. The game can be played either with or without a Nunchuk. If the Nunchuk is used, players will have full control over their characters and can move them around the court however they want.
The game will feature robust multiplayer modes, with a dozen different party games included. There is also online play using EA Nation for singles and doubles matches, and a unique leaderboard called the Nations Leaderboard that lets each win contributes to the worldwide rank of your country.
To improve a person's skill in the game there is practice courts at each venue, which features various pop-ups to improve your abilities.
Grand Slam Tennis is developed by EA Canada and will be available on June 15.
This spells the end of Mario Tennis.
