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.

My kid loves this game

I really like this game because it’s something different

Best Mario Tennis hands down in the entire series in terms of gameplay; and way better than the horrible Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash on the WiiU. There are 15+ Playable Characters making it the largest roster in any Mario Tennis game. ---Gameplay. A lot of strategy compared to previous games as you have to pay attention to your meter, positioning, and decided whether to use your specials. A lot of risk/reward when deciding what moves to do in real time. This game will test your twitch reflexes with very exhilarating with split second decisions when matched up with someone of the same skill level There are of course basic Shots: Flat, Top Spin, Slice, Lob But this game uses a meter system or energy gauge which you have to keep track of as you can use Zone Shots, Zone Speed, or Special Shot for offensive and defensive maneuvers. Your meter builds up as you continuously rally with your opponent -Zone Shot. Aim a target reticle at specific area of map or at opponent themselves Racket take damage if enemy do direct damage via zone shot. If hit 3x in a match, you get KOed giving your opponent the point But if you block/parry with perfect timing; your racket takes no damage -Zone Speed. when activated puts you in slow motion or bullet time. -Special Shot. You can save up your meter till it's full to initiate special shot. This can destroy enemy racket in one hit (instead of 3 like in zone shot), but again, if timed correctly your opponent can block it. -Trick shot. Makes you leap/dash to one side of the court while also helping you build meter faster than normal shots. Charge shots also build up meter, but not as fast. -Court Hazards. There are also court hazards such as teleport portal mirrors, random bombs on court, and piranha plants on net to name a few. You can also toggle this off if you want. -Simple Rules. You can turn off all abilities and play a simple game of tennis with just basic shots, and no racket durability... but it's not as fun in my opinion. -Swing Mode. You can use full motion controls like Wii Sports Tennis if you like, but it's not as efficient/effective as traditional controls. Great for casual play among friends and family, or if you want to work up a sweat/get off the couch. --Online Multiplayer Unlike Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash you can play with your friends online. There are events and online tournaments you can participate in. Match making in a tournament is dependent on on your online rank, and internet latency for regular matches. Online tournament are timed events like Splatoons Splatfest or Salmon Run You also get costumes and characters via participation bonus --Story Mode/ Single Player Basically a glorified tutorial. Gives you fun mini-games, and scenarios/objectives to play through especially with the boss battles. Plot is very simple like most Mario games: Wario and Waluigi finds an ancient tennis racket which turns the holder of that racket evil. Luigi, being the curious guy he is, touches it and it's a mad dash to get 5 stones to reverse the curse. The replay value is low after you've completed the single player campaign as this is is very multiplayer (local and online) focused There's also tournament mode which is what you expect going through a gauntlet of CPU opponents for unlockables and in-game trophies Overall, fun arcade tennis game that'll test your twitch reflexes, and snap decision making. This game is very multiplayer-centric. If you're in it for the single player, it worth a rental for the creative levels

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.

Love this game

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.

I enjoy the game, but I have not played it to the extent that I would have thought. I get bored in story mode, and when playing online I feel like everyone plays as Boo who has a nasty slice which I have a hard time returning (thought that might just say more about me as a player). The Good: The game looks good and feels responsive. The story is ridiculous and insane, but suspend your belief and it becomes a charming Mario bananas-fun thing. I like the overall look and feel as well as the various types of play available. However as a 30-something I don't have too many friends that are lining up to play me in Aces, so it's a solitary affair. The Bad: Story mode does have a tendency to take FOREVER with the dialogue. Yes, I understand the need for story telling and context, but it is a snooze. The games themselves are fun however, but the learning curve is a little tough for me, let alone someone much younger. It's a good challenge and I like it, but it wears me down a little and I don't spend as much time in the game as I thought since I get a little worn out. The ok: Online play is good. It's mostly stable, but there is no real way to interact with fellow competitors. The bench of characters are a little weak with many of the characters aggressively falling into either being terrible (Waluigi) or very very strong (Boo). Other "all around" characters like Mario and Luigi are masters of nothing. So the continuum of strengths is a little messed up. As I said in the title, I have found myself going back to the 3DS to play some real Mario Nintendo tennis, I love it. I will continue to play MTA, but with a little hesitation.

Desde el Mario Tenis del Nintendo 64 que no me volvia a gustar un juego de esta serie. El del 64 por ser el primero y por sus buenas mecanicas y este Mario Tenis Aces porque realmente implementaron muchas cosas que te hace disfrutar cada parte de este juego. No solo es jugar partidos de Tenis y ya, hay que aprender las mecanicas de los movientos, efectos de los golpes de pelota. El juego cuenta con las siguientes modalidades: - Modo Aventura: Es el modo historia, un poco forzada pero sirve bastante para entender las mecanicas del juego, practicar en los numerosos mini juegos y de paso desbloquear cosas para el juego como nuevas canchas. - Modo Torneo: Pues es eso, puedes hacer Torneos locales con tus amigos incluso En Linea. Una modalidad muy divertida. - Modo Libre: Son las tipicas partidas rapidas nomas para pasar el rato. - Modo Realista: Esta es una novedad! Es para jugar con el JoyCon agitandolo como si fuera una raqueta de Tenis, al puro estilo de Wii Sports, aunque es un poco diferente y algo dificil, siento que no lo implementaron muy bien pero supongo es cuestion de practicar, lo malo que esta modalidad esta separada de las demas, solo puedes jugar partidos rapidos, no hay torneo y parece que no puedes jugar en Linea. Es un juego muy completo, te dara infinidad de horas de diversion porque de entrada puedes jugar con un amigo usando un JoyCon cada quien ya sea usando los controles normales o en modo realista. Es realmente facil de jugar aunque nunca hayas jugado Tenis, el mismo juego te enseña de maneras muy practicas. Todo sin contar que en el juego En Linea esta la verdadera "carnita" del juego ya que podras jugar torneos en linea donde desbloquearas de manera anticipada nuevos personajes cada mes de Julio a Septiembre (antes de que cobren el Online) y eso solo es un comienzo. Lo unico que no me gusto es que los personajes ya vienen todos desbloqueados, lo unico por desbloquear son las canchas y eso solo jugando el modo aventura y que el modo realista se siente algo pobre a comparacion de lo que ofrecia el juego de Tenis del Wii Sports Club del Nintendo Wii U, pero bueno, es lo de menos, realmente hay poco que criticarle al juego. Lo recomiendo a todo mundo, a los fans de los juegos de Mario, de los deportes o simplemente si eres de los que busca un juego nuevo para pasar el rato con amigos o para jugar en Linea, llegaras a la conclusion de que es un juego muy adictivo.

Chegou direitinho, lacrado e com cheirinho de coisa nova. E sobre o jogo, muito divertido uma pena o online estar abandonado por conta do lançamento do Mário tennis feever

Super cadeau à mon garçon!!!

bought this for a friend it's original and she loved the game
