Virtua Tennis 4, known as Power Smash 4 (パワースマッシュ4) in Japan, is a sports game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and Windows PC. There is also an arcade version, which runs on Sega RingEdge. A patent suggests that a Wii U version was also planned at one point[19].

It is a sequel to Virtua Tennis 3, and is the first "main" game in the series to be released directly to home consoles, with the arcade release following later. Sega Logistics Service announced it would end service on the arcade machines on March 31, 2017.[20]

Gameplay

The game makes use of each console's respective motion peripherals (PlayStation Move, Kinect and Wii MotionPlus).
