Mario Tennis Aces - Nintendo Switch

I honestly don't understand the negative reviews of this game. Although it can be frustrating at times, I found this to be worlds better than the Mario Tennis for the Wii U.1.) Adventure Mode - This is the "story mode" which you can progress through to unlock courts. It's amusing, and definitely helped me practice my Mario Tennis skills. Whenever I would get stuck on a certain challenge, I had the option to go between different modes so I was never bored.2.) Tournament Mode (Online vs. COM) - The COM tournament was exactly what I was looking for, and what I missed from Mario Tennis for the Wii U. I enjoyed progressing through the COM tournament. The online tournament's match-making is broken, but still fun to work through if you are stuck in another area of the game.3.) Free Play - This is pretty much what is expected from a semi-party game. I've played the online free play with friends and locally with my husband, and it seemed to work just fine (aside from the online play being a little confusing to navigate).There are new mechanics to get the hang of, but with a lot of practice and improving your reaction time, it's definitely a fun game. I am not sure what others expected from a Mario Tennis game aside from what they provided. It definitely exceeded my expectations.I would recommend this for any Mario Tennis enthusiast. I grew up with Mario Tennis for the N64 and it definitely lives up to that.

It came much earlier than expected, and it was in great shape. Also the play of the game was also fun and the graphics and sound were excellent. Thank you for a great game may order again from same company.

This is easily the best Mario Tennis game in the series.The Adventure mode is a welcome addition (although limited) and I recommend all new players play the Adventure mode prior to heading into the Online Tournament because the Adventure mode teaches the player how to execute the new moves/gameplay additions. The Online Tournament is truly where this game shines and it was encouraging to see Nintendo add additional characters each month post-release to give players something to look forward to.The only negative I have is that there are 4 characters that are incredibly cheap and overpowered compared to the rest (I'm looking at you Chain Chomp, Piranha Plant, Boo, Waluigi). I wish there was a way to avoid having to play against these characters in Online Play and play against characters that actually require more skill. Even if they nerfed these characters like they did with Bowser Jr., it would be much appreciated so players can go head-to-head on a more equal playing field.Ultimately though, I really enjoyed my time with this game and would definitely purchase a sequel if Nintendo were to release one. This game is a solid foundation for the series & hopefully Nintendo builds upon this with a future Mario Tennis release.

Was what my daughter wanted but I wish it was a cheaper price

My whole family loves Wii Sports. Sadly our Wii broke a short while ago and we learned that no one sells Wii's anymore, the cost to fix it was more than what the counsel was worth so we opted for a Switch because it appeared to be the closest we could get to the physical movements the Wii gave us. The tennis match gives you the ability to get up and play, as if you are playing tennis. So great for physical activity. Since the Switch only detects movements from your hands (does not have sensor like Wii or Xbox 360 to read your entire body movements), the movements can be a bit off and doesn't offer the same physical activity as the Wii or 360. For now, this will do, but we can't wait for a company to come out with something like the Wii or 360 again, something that follows your full body movement for tennis, boxing and other fun sport games.

Don't play this game alone! It is the ultimate multiplayer game to play with friends. With so much depth and skill required, this tennis game feels more like a fighting game. Sure it has everything that is found in every other tennis game but it is the cartoony elements that separate it from other tennis games.Players can counter other people's shots with other shots. If you are out of position and can't return a shot, you can try a trick shot which will have your character careening across the screen. Imagine Walugi moonwalking across the court to return and out of reach shot.As you are volleying shots back and forth, you build up a super meter. If you fill it up all the way, you can unload a special shot on your opponent that can break their racket. You can either win a round by outscoring your opponent or by breaking their racket. Once you master the mechanics, matches can get pretty tense. Nintendo has served up another ace.
