Sega Superstars Tennis unreleased track now… released

{Note: MegaDriver - above - has nothing to do with the music or game… I just like their guitars}
It seems that, now the game has been released, a lot of the hype and farore surrounding Sega Superstars Tennis has somewhat died down.  However it seems that, out of the eerily quiet mist, some new media […]
