Sega has provided details of the new touch-based controls that will be included in Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition on PlayStation Vita.
Speaking to the official PlayStation Blog, executive producer Mie Kumagai said the development team has taken full advantage of the unique front and rear touch panels incorporated into Sony's new handheld console.
It means gamers can simply tap the screen to move their players into position or aim their shots using finger swipes, while special shots can be unleashed using two fingers once the match momentum bar fills up.
Touch controls will also serve to make menu navigation a breeze, while a special multiplayer mode called Touch Versus lets two people compete on the same PS Vita system.
However, Ms Kumagai noted that those wishing to use traditional analogue and button controls can still do so, or even utilise a combination of the two.
Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition will be among the first wave of games for PS Vita, which makes its much-anticipated debut in the UK later this month.
