The Nintendo Wii version of Rockstar Presents Table Tennis (also on Xbox 360) has already gone gold and is ready for shipping come October 23. But fans have yet to see some good ol' screenshots to further know the changes made by Rockstar Leeds to the title. It's a good thing that we have a couple for you today courtesy of Jeux-France.

Speaking of changes, take note that the Wii version is not just a simple port of the one released on Microsoft's white console more than a year ago. One of the most obvious differences is that Rockstar Presents Table Tennis has been made compatible with Nintendo Wii's motion-sensing controllers which should give players more immersive gameplay.
