First announced back in July last year, 2k Sports’ Top Spin 3 was originally announced for the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360. However, in confirming the title’s roster of pro tennis players today, the firm has let slip that the title is now also to be released on the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

Top Spin 3 aims to provide players with a wholly realistic sporting experience, and is set to include a comprehensive create-a-player feature alongside its roster of current professional players.

Featuring over 40 real-life venues such as Roland Garros in Paris (French Open) and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne (Australian Open), 2K Sports hopes to immerse gamers in the tennis-playing experience like never before.

The Top Spin 3 player lineup includes the following:

• Mario Ancic
• Tomas Berdych
• James Blake
• Roger Federer
• Tommy Haas
• Justine Henin
• Svetlana Kuznetsova
• Amelie Mauresmo
• Gael Monfils
• Andy Murray
• David Nalbandian
• Mark Philippoussis
• Andy Roddick
• Maria Sharapova
• Nicole Vaidisova
• Caroline Wozniacki

So-called “Classic Legends” set to make an appearance are Boris Becker, Bjorn Borg and Monica Seles, although it is yet unclear whether they will appear on the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS versions of Top Spin 3.

““With Top Spin 3, we wanted to give gamers the choice to play with their favourite tennis players, as well as classic legends, an option that no other tennis game is offering,” said Chris Snyder, Director of Marketing for 2K Sports. “Boris Becker, Bjorn Borg and Monica Seles have given the game of tennis such great history, and we are excited to have them join the current roster of professionals in the most realistic tennis video game to date.”

Top Spin 3 is currently scheduled for release this spring.
