rafael-nadal-on-the-ds_61Tennis superstar Rafa Nadal might play second fiddle to maestro Roger Federer on the professional tennis circuit, but he has served an ace against the latter by having his very own self-titled game debut on the Nintendo DS next year.

Development of the eponymous Rafa Nadal Tennis is being handled by Spain-based Virtual Toys, offering players the chance to play an engaging set of tennis or two on-the-go. Touch screen controls will play an integral role in the game, and with over 20 events that span across 17 international locations, you won’t run bored anytime soon.

You can choose to start off in Rafa’s very own tennis shoes, or create your very own character to take the tennis world by storm. There will be the usual 5 attributes in any tennis game that is so important - serve, forehand, backhand, smash, and speed.

Look out for Rafa Nadal Tennis in store shelves sometime early next year. Local wireless multiplayer support is also included in the package.
