EA has recently released some new information for the upcoming EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis for the Nintendo Wii. The information actually, is just a standard-fare fact sheet in case anyone was wondering what kind of new details would be in store.

Developed by EA Canada and due out on June 15th for the Nintendo Wii, EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis is sort of like a down-graded, Wii-rendition of 2K’s highly lauded Top Spin. And while I hate to say it, it’s also a poor man’s Top Spin, only because it doesn’t look quite as nice or have quite the same amount of features.

The full rundown of the game’s features and functions can be found below. Alternatively, you can always visit the Official EA Sports Website for more information on EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis. For more gaming news, info and updates, be sure to stay tuned in with Blend Games.
