Family Ping Pong
Family Ping Pong (WiiWare)
Family Ping Pong (Okiraku Ping Pong Wii in Japan) is a simplified ping-pong simulation with the player controlling a member of a family (consisting of a mother, father, pre-teen son and daughter) against another in a game of table tennis. Similar to Wii Sports tennis, the movement of the character on screen is controlled by the computer, with the player swinging the Wii Remote like a paddle to serve and return the ball. The player can choose from four courts to play on, including a beach and an outdoors area.
Three minigames are also available outside the main game, including a rally mode, and a game where you must hit specific types of fruit.

With all of the different ping pong options I now have on my wii the only thing left is to go out and get a stupid ping pong table. Until they combine some ping pong with the Wii Fitness Board and add online play, with no friend code nonsense either, I will not purchase another one.

I think the chances of it coming out of Japan are fairly high. It has full English menus as shown here (so all a publisher needs to do is well...publish it):

Plus let's not forget that (at least in America) Aksys always gets Arc System games over in the states (which I'm really becoming a fan of). Nice crew, though I'm not sure if I'm all too excited for this game.

Seems not too bad. I'm not getting it though. I mean, we have Mario Party 8, MSOG, Wii Play, and toher games that have used Ping Pong/Table Tennis already. How much more do we need? Of them all, MSOG was the best, imho.
But after seeing the menu screens, it's nice to see the game has a bit more variety with mini-games also. I'll keep an eye on this...
