In a move that just makes good sense, Take-Two announced that the (previously) Xbox 360 exclusive title, Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis, is heading to the Wii at last. It was rumored that the game may be making its way to Nintendo's latest, but now that we have confirmation, it's time to get out the paddles and start working on that signature smash.
If you played the original, then you know as well as we do that this was a pretty slick game on the 360. We can only hope that Rockstar is going to be among the first of the third parties to get in there and show everyone just what the Wii can do, graphics-wise. Someone needs to, because with the exception of the upcoming Big Three from Nintendo, most third-party titles tend to be hovering around GameCube level, and we know the Wii can do more than that.
No real details are yet available on the game -- not even so much as a screenshot -- but Take-Two promises we'll be getting our table tennis on this fall, and the game will utilize motion controls.

This is great news - it's a perfect fit for the Wii and the game is a lot of fun. I hope Rockstar offers two control methods; one would allow you to use the Remote+Nunchuk to control the player and paddle, while the other would be simplified with just the remote. Players would move automatically similar to Wii Sports and the gamer could just focus on his/her hits.

i think they should make you have to move your player useing the nunchuck or some other way because the way they do it in wii sports definatly has some problems and makes it less fun in my opinion
