Mario steps onto the court in classy tennis garb for intense rallies against a variety of characters in full-blown tennis battles. There are more than 15 playable characters, each with their own distinct characteristics! New wrinkles in tennis gameplay will challenge your ability to read an opponent’s position and stroke to determine which shot will give you the advantage. The game offers a refined approach to tennis gameplay, focusing on deep strategic payoffs, and non-stop, split-second strategies. And this time the game adds the first story mode since the Mario Tennis: Power Tour game on Game Boy Advance, offering a new flavour of tennis gameplay, with a variety of missions, boss battles and more. The varied play styles of the Nintendo Switch system allow up to four players* to step onto the court together – anytime, anywhere! Once you connect online, you can play a match with your friends or other players. Events and online tournaments will be held frequently, allowing you to compete against other players. There’s also Swing mode, which allows you to use your Joy-Con like a tennis racket. This mode is perfect when you want to play the game casually with your friends and family, or just to get your body moving.

A great entry in a long running series

I was very excited to hear the next Mario Tennis was being developed by Camelot and would have a single player mode. Mario Tennis Aces is a wonderfully crafted game that has added a lot to the game to prevent the Mario Tennis series from becoming stale. The new meter building and the shots that come with it are a fantastic mechanic. Racket breaking however is something I’m on the fence on. It can be used to win and takes away from the overall experience imo. The story mode is really fun but feels like an extended tutorial for the most part.

These serve as the way to get new characters as they release and is enjoyable to play against other human opponents. Overall I think Mario Tennis Aces is a fantastic entry with a well done story mode and the addition of tournament was the spark needed for the series.

After the extremely disappointing Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, I was hesitant to purchase Aces. I’m glade I did though.Those of you new to the Mario Tennis series may be wondering what makes it special. Of course, there’s the inclusion of characters from throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Of course Mario, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Peach make appearances, but the game excels in adding smaller characters to the mix as well. Baddies such as Chain Chomp, Spike, and Blooper are also featured in the game’s roster. Unlike in Mario Kart, where characters are split into weight classes and and all characters in the same class play the same, characters in Mario Tennis Aces are split into 6 playstyles, and each character has their own unique characteristics.New to the Mario ... MoreAfter the extremely disappointing Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, I was hesitant to purchase Aces.

By charging up your shots, you can build up your energy gauge, which in turn can be used to activate special skills. Zone speed slows down everything except your character, giving you time to get to a far-away ball. Zone shots allow you to send powerful, accurate shots lasering into your opponent’s court. Trick shots can be used to quickly move across the court to return a powerful shot. If you’re able to fully charge your energy meter, you can unleash a special shot, which if not blocked with perfect timing, will shatter your opponent’s racket.For the first time since Mario Tenni: Power Tour on the GBA, Aces contains a single player story mode with light RPG elements. The story itself is mediocre at best, but it serves as a great way to hone your skills before jumping into the surprisingly competitive tournament mode.Tournament mode is by far the highlight of Mario Tennis Aces. It pits you against randomly selected online players, and builds a tournament based on single-match elimination. Because the game doesn’t create the entire tournament at once, and instead matches two player in round two together, etc., wait time in between matches is always short.

I was a big fan of the Mario Tennis games on N64 and GBC, especially the RPG elements of the latter. The single-player portion of this game really doesn't compare, functioning mostly as an extended tutorial with very minor RPG elements.That being said, multiplayer is great fun, especially if you're able to get some local doubles matches in. The online tournament modes will likely make or break enjoyment of this game for most people. Standard mode incorporates the energy gauge and trick shots. It wasn't very balanced for the first month after release, as Bowser Jr. could basically return anything at max charge and trick shots were easily spammable recovery moves, resulting in long drawn-out matches.

Nintendo patched the game last week to supposedly address both of the points mentioned above, so now may be the best time to try Standard tournaments.If you enjoy a simulation of regular tennis, Simple mode provides a more even experience (in my opinion at least). However, it is much easier to find a game in Standard, as I've had to wait several minutes before for matchmaking in Simple. Standard definitely has more of an arcade-y/fighting game feel to it, so I wouldn't recommend Simple mode if you don't enjoy tennis by itself.If you're able to try the game out and enjoy the gameplay mechanics for what they are, I think you'll find it worth your time. Nintendo seems to be willing to patch online multiplayer based on player feedback, which is a good sign. Hopefully this support continues after they've finished releasing all the characters.

Game is garbage
5 April 2023

Do not buy this game. You will regret it. This game is really bad. It really shows how much of a terrible company Nintendo is. This game fails to show and explain how to do things and then when you mess up, you get penalized with loosing time(which is stupid on it's own that dam Nintendo has to even put time in their games to make it harder), your racket breaks, some stages only give you 3 mistakes for 20 hits, and gives the opponent an advantage over you which immediately causes for a game over. They also put obstacles in your way on the courts which causes you to mess up as well. One particular level is really annoying is you have to hit the ball 400 times without messing up three times. Sometimes your opponent will do a supershot to the far opposite side from ... MoreDo not buy this game. You will regret it. This game is really bad.

If you like restarting stages over and over, then you will love thie game. Nintendo's decisions with this garbage game is terrible and they are stuck in the past. I returned this game at gamestop and used the money for a Xbox game that's much better.

Gameplay is phenomenal
3 July 2018

Tight controls, good mix up with variety of hits, and new mechanics with trick shots and special shots. Definitely adds another level of wit to your games of tennis. Simple matches can be played too without all the tricks and special pizzazz.This game definitely has its fair share of problems. Adventure mode is a bit barren, split screen can't be turned off for local multiplayer matches, and there lacks some flare with costumes or additional cinematic cut scenes. User interface exp is a bit below average with its weird stage select toggling. Hope there will be patches and DLC content in the future to fix all these issues.Online tourney is definitely good in this game.

However, if your connection is good, nothing to worry about--otherwise you're back in the queue. Day 1 patch fixed up the lag found in the demo. Also, new ranking system incoming for more balanced match ups.If you're looking for more single player action, better off looking elsewhere, but if you want nice game play and good online multiplayer, Aces is the one.

Great mechanics but is missing quite a bit
14 July 2018

I've spent about 30 hours with this game and there is a lot to like, but also a lot not to like. The gameplay itself is great and there is a lot of potential in both online and local multiplayer. If you are a fan of the Mario Tennis series, you might want to check this game out. However, the game leaves a lot to be desired. There is almost no customization for any of the characters (only Mario has a changeable costume if you played the demo version). You don't actually play a full game of tennis. Instead you basically play best-of-three-sets. And there is no way to change that. The single-player Adventure Mode can be tricky and annoying to get through, especially if you've never played the Mario Tennis series. And you don't really get anything for completing it. ... MoreI've spent about 30 hours with this game and there is a lot to like, but also a lot not to like.

I've played about 100 matches online and it can be very frustrating. Players just max out their energy gauges and perform special shots at will. And trick shots can be super annoying as well. But overall, I've enjoyed the challenge and am hoping that they can fix some of these problems (lack of customization, more robust Adventure Mode that actually gives you something, and a way to nerf the special shots/trick shots) with an update. I gave it 3 stars because I liked the game but don't think it's worth the price tag just yet.

Hilarious tennis matches with friends
12 December 2020

I have played a few mario tennis games in the past and I enjoy the core mechanics of tennis. I'm not into the over the top mechanics with the special moves and everything. Playing through the campaign I found it frustrating at times defeating opponents and bosses. I just want to play regular tennis with mario characters. Thankfully you can set up the game with simple gameplay and it is a great time especially with friends. If everyone at least knows the basics, matches often result in intense hilarity. You could be having a good rally going and all of a sudden you hit the other player or miss a ball completely and it's really funny. The characters move goofy and gives it tons of charm. Its not meant to be taken seriously but it can get pretty competitive when it ... MoreI have played a few mario tennis games in the past and I enjoy the core mechanics of tennis.

Mario's best tennis game in over a decade
23 June 2018

Mario Tennis is a game that has gone through the paces of many other games that are Mario spinoffs. They started out solid but went downhill during the Wii and Wii U era. Let it be known this is a huge step in the right direction.If you're looking for a solid single-player Mario Tennis experience akin to Power Tennis on the GameCube, you won't find that here. The story is definitely forced in, and the adventure is quite short. Camelot Software has found creative ways to play during the adventure, so the time spent isn't wasted. As for unlockables and customization, that is lacking in this game as well, there could definitely be much more to unlock. If you are buying solely for single player, I cannot recommend Mario Tennis Aces on that alone.However, the ... MoreMario Tennis is a game that has gone through the paces of many other games that are Mario spinoffs.

As for unlockables and customization, that is lacking in this game as well, there could definitely be much more to unlock. If you are buying solely for single player, I cannot recommend Mario Tennis Aces on that alone.However, the multiplayer is where this game truly shines. Gone are the Chance Shots that have you running and pressing whatever button is shown over and over with your opponent. Now there is an energy system that allows you to take advantage of the stars on the court that appear, serve stronger, or use a full-on shot that takes the entire meter and is very difficult to block. This energy can be filled by well-prepared or well-timed shots, so there is a lot of strategy that goes into energy buildup and management. This mechanic could have been a lot worse, but thankfully Camelot pulled it off.As for the core game of tennis, that's here as usual. You can even turn off the energy system if you want. Tournaments are available both offline with computer opponents, and online. Online play has been superb, with the game ensuring good connections whenever you play. I've had a blast playing online through tournaments. Local multiplayer is up to 4 players, and is even more fun than online, if you can gather some friends!One last thing I want to touch on is Swing Mode. This mode is not just Mario Tennis with motion control. It plays entirely different. You can hit the ball out much more often depending on your swing, your swing timing is extremely important, and there are other modes available here as well. Swing Mode can be played with 4 players. However, I found Swing Mode to be fairly inconsistent with the motion control, and I wish that you could customize the matches more. Match customization is not fully featured here at all, and I wish there were more options for private matches.DLC characters will also be added in the months ahead for free, so Nintendo / Camelot has committed to providing content throughout the life of this game, at least for a few months.Overall, I've had a great time with Mario Tennis Aces and expect to for a long time to come, both with local friends and competing online. This is just under Mario Kart for games to get for multiplayer on Switch. Get some friends together and you won't be disappointed. I do wish that the single player component and unlockables were more present however, and for more private match customization. I recommend this to anyone that plans to play this game multiplayer, especially with friends.Thank goodness this is not another Mario Tennis Ultra Smash (Wii U). Good job Nintendo / Camelot. 4 stars.

My favorite tennis game in years
12 July 2021

Best tennis game I've played in a while. I used to play a ton of tennis IRL so tennis games have always been fun to me. The old days of playing virtua tennis arcade (and the dreamcast port) were the golden years of tennis video games until I started playing Mario Tennis Aces. This game is so much fun to play. It's definitely not a simulator but that's part of the fun. The special shots feel so powerful and there is a lot of variety between characters that keeps the game from getting stale. Adventure mode is cleverly done, beating tennis based trials/challenges as well as playing against enemies to unravel the story and gain access to new areas. I think tennis fans and mario fans both can enjoy this game, as usual with Nintendo it runs great and is very polished both ... MoreBest tennis game I've played in a while.

Terrible game
10 November 2022

This game is really bad. It really shows how much of a terrible company Nintendo is. This game fails to show and explain how to do things and then when you mess up, you get penalized with loosing time(which is stupid on it's own that dam Nintendo has to even put time in their games to make it harder) and gives the opponent an advantage over you which immediately causes for a game over. They also put obstacles in your way on the courts which causes you to mess up as well. One particular level is really annoying. You have to hit the ball 400 times without messing up three times. Sometimes your opponent will do a supershot to the far opposite side from where u are and mess you up. This game fails to make anything straight forward and then punishes the player for it. ... MoreThis game is really bad. It really shows how much of a terrible company Nintendo is.

Nintendo's decisions with this garbage game is terrible and they are stuck in the past. I returned this game and used the money for a Xbox game that's much better.
