    Without any doubt, this is one of the best installments if the Mario Tennis series. Not only for the number of game modes it offers, but because of its addictive gameplay. Mario Tennis Aces is a must-buy for Nintendo Switch owners.

    A great return for one of the most beloved sports franchises. Mario Tennis Aces has a great single player mode and a functional online multiplayer mode.

    Mario Tennis Aces gives the arcade tennis series a massive injection of depth, turning this family friendly sports title into a tactical, fast-paced chess game that is a thrill to play against other people. Its depth is well explained in a limited story mode that has some interesting ideas, but it’s a tougher sell if you’re not looking to lose yourself in hours and hours of online play.

    If you really crave a nice game of tennis, this is the game to play. Especially if you appreciate the party game influences. The adventure mode is pretty repetitive and frustrating, but as you can play online it can also be a ball.

    As long as the online keeps running well, Mario Tennis Aces will be worth revisiting. I still have my concerns of the new mechanics being a little too focused on the ability to block, but Mario’s grand sports return has more than enough good in it to make up for smaller miscues like that. This is an encouraging return to form for Camelot.

    It speaks volumes that even the multiplayer limitations don't entirely dampen my enthusiasm for Aces. The Tetris Effect is in full swing here; days after the credits rolled, I still crave the satisfying thwack from a Power Shot, mentally replay matches and imagine how I might do things differently given a bit more focus and know-how. Mario Tennis Aces does what this series has done best, and for the most part, improves what it's rarely gotten right prior.

    Showing little appreciation for what makes tennis a fascinating sport, Mario Tennis Aces is like a server who can't stop committing double faults.

    A really good-looking game with a strong foundation and excellent mechanics, but somewhat lacking in content upon launch.

    I am a huge fan of the Mario Tennis series and I was very excited to get my hands on this game. But this games disappointed me in more placesI am a huge fan of the Mario Tennis series and I was very excited to get my hands on this game. But this games disappointed me in more places than one. The overall game is good and the base tennis game is fun and I really like the added mechanics but this games single player mode is not the best it is short and not to much fun. One of my biggest gripes for this games is the AI cheats they can do things that the player cant do. The online really excited me but yet again I was disappointed I did not have a single stable game. This game was some fun but overall disappointed me.… Expand

    Mario Tennis Aces is the single most disappointing game I have ever played. I do not live in my parents basement, and I am not a priest whoMario Tennis Aces is the single most disappointing game I have ever played. I do not live in my parents basement, and I am not a priest who worships Mario Sunshine. I bought this game because I thought it would be good. This game didn’t launch with an opening cutscene. When I was told that, I laughed. No one could make a game without an opening cutscene. And yet…. The “story mode” is stupid. You gain nothing from it. I didn’t play past the mansion. The story mode was frankly, lackluster and pointless. The stage selection is bad, as you have to choose everything you need every single time. The character selection is good (you can play as Pauline!) but some characters you have to get through online. You can’t get them if you don’t have online, and they cycle through monthly! Do they think this keeps people “engaged”? I didn’t even bother with the other Mario sports games, and they were the same as this one. The sentence that sums this game up the most is “What happened here?”… Expand
