You know buttons, right? Those clicky things on either side of the touchscreen? New screenshots of Sega Superstars Tennis show the view on the bottom screen, which contains nothing more than a scoreboard. There are no icons to tap, no moves to select, and definitely no predefined areas to rub. Just character portraits (of what we assume are the player-controlled characters in each team, in the case of doubles) and scores. You're certainly not controlling the players directly via dragging them around, because they're up on the top screen.Of course, stylus controls could still turn up. This display could be temporary, to be replaced when developer Sumo Digital figures out the user interface for the touch controls. Or it could be what displays if you choose a traditional control scheme.

I hope it doesn't use the touchscreen while still being a great game.
With the DS and Wii, developers have been forcing themselves to figure out ways to use the innovative UI. At times this has been to the detriment of otherwise good games. The touchscreen UI for golf works, for soccer and football not so much. Lets just accept it.
I hope this follows in the line of good 'button' tennis games.
