Grand Slam Tennis released

EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis is now available in North American stores and will be available worldwide by June 12, 2009. Developed for the Wii by EA Canada, Grand Slam Tennis offers all four Grand Slams and is the only game to feature Wimbledon.

The game features a Grand Slam Career mode, licensed stars and venues, and - most important of all - offers Wii MotionPlus support.

In Europe, Grand Slam Tennis will be exclusively bundled with the Wii MotionPlus accessory - sorry North America, you’ll have to buy it separately or pick up a copy of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010. Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii has been rated “E” by the ESRB and “3+” by PEGI, and has an MSRP of $49.99 USD in North America.
