    it is a fun game with nice graphics and multiplayer so that bumps it up. the story mode is just fine tho,
    I also play tennis so maybe i am a bit biased

    The best co-op game on Switch, unique characters with their own abilities and animations that really requires skill and practice

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 might not have a lot of content but it's relaxing and a lot of fun. Great stress reliever.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Mario Tennis Aces is fantastic. The gameplay stays incredibly fun and becomes more and more engaging the better you get.

Great character pool being added to constantly with each character having unique strengths and weaknesses with interesting quirks (looking at you, Boo) meaning you can spend hours playing as a character until even getting decent on them. The adventure mode is a bit lacking and I wouldn't really suggest this game for single player use unless you're a big fan of online matches, but for local/casual multiplayer it stays fantastic and it's a hard game to beat for us when thinking about what to do. Have played it daily since it came out and no intention of stopping any time soon - we've even set up a 'tournament' spreadsheet and play our own grand slams! Really great game, can't big it up enough.

    Only minor criticism is that the online tournaments don't really have any reward or encouragement to rank highly which can sometimes leave the online play feeling a little flat.    … 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]
