Well RockStar Games Table Tennis to be more accurate.  Yep the cool ping pong simulation is making the transition from Xbox 360 to Nintendo Wii, in all its motion detecting controller glory

Despite the controversy that usually hangs around developer RockStar Games with the Grand Theft Auto franchise, Bully and Manhunt in their stable, the company continues to show just how good they are at the art of video game creation.

Table Tennis for the Xbox 360 proved to be an unexpected gem in a library littered with some poor sports simulations.

Now Table Tennis makes its way to the very popular Nintendo Wii – though we do not known when, or for how much at this point.

"Ever since we released Table Tennis, fans have been asking us to create a Wii version," said Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games. "By bringing Table Tennis to the Wii and utilizing the motion-sensitive Wii Remote, a new audience can now experience a game that is beautifully designed and impossible to put down."

Given the popularity of the bundled Wii-Sports, and in particular the fun of Wii-Sports tennis, Table Tennis should prove to be popular with those clambering for “more” for their Wii’s

For Australia and NewZealand expect the Wii version of Table Tennis to arrive in September at AU$69.95
