By far the best table tennis videogame I've ever played, and I've tried them all (although this, say, with a gyroscopic mouse standing in front of the TV the same way might be close), even if it is just rallying. My impression of the frenetic pace after fifty or so consecutive exchanges is strikingly similar, I'm not kidding, to that from the actual sport, as qualified as I think I am to say. And yes, the virtual paddles are held penhold! So much for trying to identify with some photorealistic onscreen character, I am utterly convinced that Wii holds the key to the future of interactive simulation.
