NBA 2K16 continues to beast mode. No Minecraft in the top 10. MS must have sensed this and thus porting the game over to the WiiU.

Yoshi beating Uncharted was a surprise.

Dear 2KSports. Time to make a new Top Spin. Sports games still dominate the charts, make it good and they will come.

I dunno. I just don't think tennis would sell today. I bet most can't name 5 tennis players in the top 10 right now.

Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Stan Wawrinka, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tomas Berdych are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Those are pretty much all the biggest names in tennis right now.

Some others that have to be somewhere close based on primarily on Grand Slam performances this past year would be Marin Cilic, Bernard Tomic, Andreas Seppi, John Isner and Nick Kyrgios.

Can't lie.

I worry a bit about a man that can name male tennis players.

It depends on the time of year. I watch the grand slams so I could easily name the top 5 both male and female when they are going on. Tennis is bigger over in Europe and they buy up tennis games. For me the pros are kind of an afterthought. Same as the amount of pro golfers in TW. I just want a solid tennis game, numerous venues and a good career mode. The last being something nobody has nailed.

Wii U owners have no games to buy so they buy any half decent title which comes out about every 6 months. I know because I bought my kids Yoshi. They have played it a little but even my 8 and 11 year olds are sick of Mario type games. The Uncharted collection is nice though. My son got it on his birthday and loves it.
