Today, Rockstar officially released Rockstar Presents Table Tennis for the Wii. For more information on the Wii port, see the news post below.
The Wii port of Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis is now out in North America with a suggested retail price of $39.99. If you don't have a 360 and have yet to play Table Tennis, this port is really worth getting. Sorry Europe, you'll have to wait until Friday to get a copy. In case you missed the game play videos, here they are again.

Rockstar has just confirmed to CVG.com that the upcoming Wii version of Table Tennis will not feature online play. The multiplayer mode was dropped from the Xbox 360 version so they could focus on the advanced control system, calling it the “most advanced control system on the Wii.”
“All the focus is going into making it the most advanced control system on the Wii.”
And if you have been reading previews fro this game on gaming websites ect, then you will know that it has supposedly really great controls, so no worry there! Let's hope that there will be at least offline multiplayer modes so you can play with friends, but this has not been confimed just yet [Although I reckon there will be!]

In a recent article posted by Eurogamer we found out that Rockstar is only bringing two games to Leipzig, the games are Midnight Club (PS3, Xbox 360) and Table Tennis (Wii). Should we be upset that there's no GTA IV? No. Rockstar could be saving the big news for the Tokyo Game Show which is also happening very soon. Maybe that GTA IV advertisement was really an advertisement and not the start of a big wave of GTA IV news. Maybe we could hear more about their new franchise for the PS3 at the Tokyo Game Show. Rockstar could even surprise us with something completely different. We just don't know anymore.
But rest assured that RockstarWatch will be keeping you up to date with everything Rockstar related at Leipzig, which starts this Thursday!
