    A fantastic game. If you scroll down, every negative review says the same lie "this game lacks content"
    That couldnt be farther from the truth. This game has SO much content. SO many characters, stages, and game modes. Play it.

    I give a 10 because this game is exactly what I have expected. Story mode is good considering the fact its not easy to make a story mode for a fictional Mario tenis game, but I bought this game for the multiplayer and in my opinion the multiplayer is great!

    Great game if you are looking for a good multiplayer experience

    Great online game for the switch. It is a ton of fun and they fixed the lag from the demo. The story mode is cool but defenitely not the main selling point.

    The core tennis gameplay is the best in the series, the online works very well and the single player mode serves (haha) as a great little appetizer to the main fun of the game which is the multiplayer.

    Pros: The gameplay is engaging and smoking a ball past an opponent feels rewarding. The Adventure Mode adds a little extra incentive to playing. The online hasn't faltered and remains stable. The leveling system shows promise.

    Cons: The story is bland and should not be a selling point. There is a lack of content. It just feels empty in many ways. The KO is an interesting concept, but it feels gimmicky and can be incredibly frustrating in the challenges. The difficulty spike in the Adventure Mode can be overwhelming (curse you, Mirror level). The leveling and brackets fall flat and should be expanded upon or taken out all together. It's missing a statistical category to keep track of all of your matches and such.

    Overall, the game is really fun if you're playing with a friend or online; however, the drive to go back and play is limited. As stated above, wait and pick this up at a mark down if you have some games in the backlog that need more attention.    … Expand

    Pros:
    + Overall Gameplay: It's tennis, it's fun, but in Story Mode it's not.
    + Soundtrack: Amazing! Each song fits their stage well.
    + Swing Mode: Honestly, it's pretty good and a timewaster when you want to take a break from Story Mode.

    Mix:
    = Story Mode: The plot is ok, but some of the levels are just atrocious and ruin the experience (looking at you Kamek stage).
    = Roster: I mean it's a great selection, but until more are added (like my soon-to-be main Koopa), it's nothing special (a lower amount of unique characters in this game than in Smash).

    Overall, Mario Tennis Aces is a great game that, while I wouldn't say is a must have for all Switch owners, is an amazing time and warrants an 8.5/10 from me.    … Expand

The gameplay is amazing, I mean Nintendo’s addition of trick shots and zone shots and zone speeed.... ingenuity at its finest, what sick rallies I’ve been having online, so what there’s a lack of story, and no depiction of a power stone... omg how could they!! /s and the lack of customization, it probably helps load times a lot, which there are basically none of. You can still play the game you want with friends albeit the court chosen is pseudo random.

    My complaint is that the lob shot is a little busted. Sometimes it won’t charge at all prior to a shot, and sometimes it will charge after the ball has already flown by me. Also the MM thing people are talking about. Ranked MM is always better, yes you have to beat the best to be the best and blah blah, but you should have to go up in the rankings to even get to that point. I thought that was MM 101 at this point but then again it is Nintendo.

    My rant is that a 76 on metacritic is not what this game deserves and the lack of good reviews will equate to a lack of sales which will equate to a lack of response from the devs.

    The game is amazing!!! Best sports game on switch. Smooth gameplay and insane rallies.    … Expand

The previously confusing menus in Free Play mode have been simplified through an update, so that's a plus.

    The new play techniques add a new element of strategy to the gameplay, although Special Shots can sometimes feel unfair (especially when you have breaking rackets to contend with). Thankfully, you can turn the more fantastical settings off if you so desire.

    The online tournaments add greatly to the game's replay value. The playable characters and costumes they've been adding are generally great choices (added playable characters include Diddy Kong, Birdo, and Petey Piranha, among others).

    Mario Tennis Aces is a definite improvement over Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. In fact, Aces might be the best game in the series. An incredibly fun and addictive tennis game that deserves a place in your Switch library.    … Expand

The game is not just Tennis, more balanced and creative game mechanics replace the disastrous gameplay of the Wii U entry. Its surprisingly tactical, and even if it's not your cup of tea you have your choice of basic more realistic tennis as well as Wii Sport inspired Swimg mode. The main mode focus is on zone power shots and zone speed which are all dependent on collecting energy, this can be done by charging your racket swing or performing a trick shot... it can be quite stressful to begin with but you should all get the hang of it. Story mode unfortunately isn't anything ground breaking, but it was still very enjoyable with some memorable moments. Characters are plentiful, fans can pick form Mario, Waluigi, Yoshi and even a Chain Chomp. These characters each have different play styles that players will enjoy experimenting with, from fast and agile to slow but power house characters. The games online tournaments encourage people to participate with the promise of outfits and new characters, which actually is a rewarding experience. To conclude, this is a massive improvement, but still needs some tweaks and more ideas in order to be the tennis game equivalent of Mario Kart 8. 8/10… Expand

Un buen juego muy entretenido en su modo Multiplayer local como online dándonos una buena experiencia de tenis pero no muy realista debido a sus mecánicas fuera de lo común como el tiempo bala, movimientos especiales para alcanzar pelotas imposibles y disparos dirigidos, tendremos un numero finito de raquetas que se estarán rompiendo en el transcurso del partido y si el contador de raquetas llega a 0 perdemos por descalificación esto logra de Mario Tennis ser un un juego bastante competitivo y divertido con amigos y familiares, pero su parte Singleplayer me parece muy pobre limitándose a solo ser un tutorial de unas 3 o 4 horas, creo que se podía explotar mucho mas esta parte.… Expand

    Mario Tennis Aces is a great game no doubt. It is definitely better than Tennis World Tour. Mario Tennis Aces has a nice little story mode which makes the game fun and focus on single players! The online is good, but I am a single player type of guy. The game looks good, it plays good, and the characters all have their own little personalities. I would love to give this game a 10, butMario Tennis Aces is a great game no doubt. It is definitely better than Tennis World Tour.

I hope Nintendo releases some awesome DLC!… Expand

    Super Tennis is great 2p fun. This is Super Tennis with good graphics.

    Sort your menu's out Nintendo because these menu's are a joke. Think of it as a 3D variation of Windjammers. If you like Windjammers, you'll like this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After my Science Exam, I went down to EB Games to buy Mario Tennis Aces. It's the only game I've ever gotten on its' release date. The game overall is decent, but could use some improvements. First off, the story mode has a few issues. So the opening cutscene plays and this evil tennis racket basically takes control of Luigi. You work your way through story mode. You defeat Luigi in a tennis match, and he's back to normal. Than the evil racket thing takes control of Bowser. Now he's the final boss! Who could've seen that coming! Secondly, it just gets really challenging for seemingly no reason. After you face Shy Guy in the village on Snowfall Mountain, it just escalates so fast that i can't come close to beating it. Final thoughts? Decent game. Could be better though.… Expand

    Very good Story Mode, much and especially different characters, also surprising ones. Ober all 10 out of 10 but i have to rate it one point down, because the „Real-Mode“ was not that good but had a very good potential. So I give 9 out of 10 and I give you the advise to play it with your friends and it sure will make much fun.

    Es un juego que da muchísimas horas de juego, sobre todo si te gustan los deportes de raqueta, acompañado de los mejores personajes del mundo de Mario. Bastante adictivo y competitivo. Eso sí, el matchmaking es lento según que rango seas y la conexión a veces deja mucho que desear. Pero por lo demas, un buen juego.

    of all the Mario tennis games, this is the best one there is. while still approachable for newcomers, there are a lot of skills and techniques that turn this sports game into a fighting game.

    While the campaign felt a little empty, the local multiplayer remains a staple of my friends entertainment. The simple mechanics and precision involved will keep you battling your friends for hours.

    Mario Tennis Aces is without question the best in the series. The story mode is easy to follow while the options are top notch for characters, outfits, courts, and so forth. I am also impressed with the different styles each character has and how you have to strategize on how you need to win. The game's online mode is great and the challenges are tough. It is a game worth buying.

    This game is really, really good, man. And I'm just as shocked as you. With fluent and addictive mechanics that would fit in well in action RPG, this game manages to feel insanely fun and unique, and shows what Ultra Smash could've been with a little more attention and care.

    A great casual tennis game that has a surprising skill ceiling. Trick shots are wonderful and I recommend starting with flicking the stick generally forward early and often.

    A good mario tennis game that actually has online matchmaking and an above average single player story mode. Gets updated consistently and better than the previous installment. Ngl played this game here and there during the first 2 months then never touched it again.

It either seems people like this game for it's great take on tenis, or you hate this game, because of lack of content.

And to be fair, the campaign is pretty short(ok it actually did take me a while, but I'm just bad at video games) and I've heard people say it's repetitive. They're right about the short campaign, but it's still a good campaign, if a little cheesy. And the ending is pretty dang cool. The repetitiveness... I mean, there's only so much you can do with a tennis game, and frankly I think they did a pretty sweet job in keeping things fresh. But good for a tennis game might not be enough for you, and without thinking of it in that context... I guess it can maybe be repetitive(which might be why the campaign is short in the first place, they don't want people getting bored)? Also it's the campaign mode of a mario sports game, it's not going to be the focus. The free play modes are. And I played the free play modes for a while after. You can play with hazards, a natural court, or a normal court, and the different players also keep things spiced up(personally I only go with the all around guys, but I do that with every game) there's a bunch of special moves you can also do to keep the game interesting. I've heard people say all these things make the game stray to much like regular tennis, and... it's a mario sports game, if you want normal tennis why are you here(also you can turn all the special stuff off and play normal if you want) also, the tournament modes can keep it even more interesting if your done with normal 1v1s with CPUs, your friends, or online Randoms. Pretty interesting over all, though I still got to dock some points for the normal campaign being short, and... well... if people have problems with it in the first place, that's got to come from somewhere, and I'm seeing some 4s on here. Anyways, if you don't like this game, then mario tennis in general probably isn't your thing. And if you do, glad to here it!… Expand

    Mario Tennis Aces may well feature the best mechanics the series has seen to date, its new Zone manoeuvres and Trick Shots adding an exciting, madcap layer of depth to the sport. While Adventure isn’t the big single player hook I’d have hoped and some options feel a little too stripped down, it’s the game’s multiplayer that will keep this title a firm favourite for months to come. Golf next please Camelot.

    I’m pleased that we finally got a new full-fledged game by Camelot. What’s more, it will appeal to a whole lot of different people ranging from hardcore fighting games fans to your grandma and grandpa, though the difficulty level can be painful at times. The most important thing is that Waluigi begins his special move with a rose between his teeth, which puts Mario Tennis Aces dangerously close to the GOTY territory. [08/2018, p.64]
