Play Virtua Tennis (E)(Patience) Online
Tiny tennis players with serious heft—nail a perfect topspin and hear that crisp *thok* as the ball rockets cross-court. Before long you're trying dumb trick shots just to see if the game humors you.
Virtua Tennis for the Game Boy Advance came out in 2002, published by Sega. It was a solid handheld version of the arcade game, arriving at a time when the GBA library was filling up with all kinds of sports titles. It didn't try to be a simulation; it focused on quick, accessible matches you could play anywhere.
You control a tennis player from an overhead view, moving with the D-pad and using two buttons for different shot types, like flat drives and lobs. The main goal is to win tournaments or exhibition matches against increasingly tough opponents. Signature mechanics include timing your shots for power and accuracy, and positioning your player to cut off angles. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty ramps up noticeably in later rounds. It feels responsive and satisfying when you place a shot just out of your opponent's reach.
