    This game's lack of content is so major that it would be a scam if the game was $20, let alone the $60 Nintendo sells it for.

    The adventure mode is nothing but a very few amount of gimmicky levels put together that severely lack the fun that simple matches offer. The first hour is an unneeded bunch of tutorial levels, given there's a built in tutorial already. The pacing's horrible, since every time you enter a level you get a slow rundown of what the level will be that can be summarized by the line that details the objective when you load the level. Same thing when you exit or lose a level, and slow restarting is never good. There's no real story or goal within this mode, and every level is either long and boring, incredibly easy, or obscure and inconsistent. Too many of them are timed levels, so the first time you might be doomed by simply trying to figure out what you actually need to do. The points system that raises your stats at the end of a level feels entirely irrelevant.

    Aside from it, there's no real other single player mode. You start with every character unlocked, so all you'll do will be playing against CPUs. The swing mode is ridiculously bad it feels like you're playing Wii tennis. The character variety is decent, however some characters revolve too heavily on a gimmick; if you're playing against boo or rosalina, you're not playing the same game anymore, you're playing against their slices and trying to get around them.

    This game could be salvaged by a good online system, since the game mechanics are pretty good aside from the improvable racket breaking system, but Nintendo strongly fails to deliver on that too. There's no ranking system. You can't play 2v2s with friends against other people, only against CPUs, which is laughable (you can locally.) You can only play games, not sets, including against friends, and you can't even select the stage to play on. It takes a while to find people to play against, there are lag issues, and the matchmaking is region locked. The tournament mode (the demo's only mode,) is the highlight of the game, and it'll be a miracle if you don't get tired of it two days after you've bought the game.

    I repeat that Nintendo intends you to buy this game for $60.    … Expand

    Tough to give the game a 6 when I can honestly say that I really enjoy the game. Below I made two lists of what, I believe, are the game's good characteristics and what are the bad ones.

    3. Shorter matches makes a ton of sense and feels right
    4. Playing with friends is fun

    The Bad:
    1. ELO system for matchmaking needs to be better (currently you could be matched with anyone
    regardless of skill, only matters what stage of the tournament you're in)
    2. Adventure Mode is boring and not too challenging for the most part
    3. COM Tournaments are too easy for all three cups
    4. Characters need to be balanced (Looking at you Bowser Jr.)

    Final Recommendation:
    I would recommend this game for fans of the series who can play with friends often or want to get online and smash some rackets. However, I would not recommend the game for anyone who is thinking of just playing it's (very short) story mode.

    *IF Nintendo adds online Doubles so that I can play with friends I will give this game a 7/10 but as of today that is not the case.    … Expand

    Essentially Mario Tennis Aces can deliver on a fast and fun tennis experience, but the lack of QA and time spent on development really shows. There aren't many options for online play, and variety is sorely lacking. Additionally, some characters are incredibly underpowered, and others are extremely overpowered in their capabilities, to the point where you can almost never win against them.

    Additionally, the story mode has almost no difficulty curve -- it's either super easy, or stupid kinds of hard, with very little in between. And what little there is of a "story" couldn't be a bigger MacGuffin quest if you tried.

    In the online competitive formats, there are several glaring issues on top of how powerful the characters are. The "physics" (if you can even come close to calling it that) don't make a whole lot of sense -- A "lob" shot can fly higher and land sooner than a flat, depending on how the ball is hit. Additionally, some of the mechanics are very easy to abuse, with many players electing to use levitating characters and constantly using max-charge lob shots that are very difficult to stop. The matchmaking system is pretty bad, and doesn't afford you the option to exclude certain characters that are overpowered.

    The free play mode offers a wide variety of maps and playstyles, but unfortunately also suffers in the QA department. Simply put, the menus are annoying and difficult to navigate and use, and sometimes your options are severely lacking. The online freeplay serves almost no purpose, as it was not integrated into the other online format. Finding a match is completely random, and skill levels will be completely random.

    That said, the gameplay can be fun and get your heart racing, especially when a rally can get quite intense. Sometimes it feels like the controllers have a mind of their own, but overall the core gameplay is good.    … Expand

    I loved the original Mario Tennis back on the 64 (obsessively so) - sadly this doesn't seem to have the same magic. It's a fun game with some serious flaws (online balancing, latency issues, terrible character balancing etc) that just make it a tad less than the special game I'd been hoping for.

    Great game if you are looking for a good multiplayer experience

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. all of these positive reviews are steaming hot piles of lying garbage. this game has a great first appeal with its vibrant colors and interesting gameplay. then it persists to give you the most repetitive gameplay you have ever seen. and that is just the minigames. oh, you beat the first minigame that required 600 points? HERES ONE WITH 1200 POINTS. THEN 1600. ETC. now lets get into the matches against computers. for a little while its not bad, and it seems like they're actually giving you a chance. you can actually beat some of the later opponents in the game, but can you do it before breaking your rackets? or controllers? it seems like this game gives the computers so much of a ridiculous advantage it makes me furious. don't get me started on the double jump mechanic, it completely destroys the entire aspect of how you're actually supposed to win a tennis match.

    i waited for this game to finally go on sale for 40 dollars, and i am so mad that i even spent that much on it. play at your own risk. (also haven't tried the multiplayer consider the campaign drove me up a freaking wall.)    … Expand

    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

The new system, with limited brackets that break, interplay with the normal rules of tennis to create interesting, on the fly strategic decisions. It's really fantastic. Do you try and block that power shot with perfect timing, or just let it go by so you don't risk damaging your racket? What choice you make depends on where you are in the match and how much life is left in your racket; and what choice you make can be the difference between a win or loss. The basic, arcade game play of Mario Tennis Aces was exceptionally well-designed.

    Everything else is unfinished and sub par for a AAA Nintendo game. I really wish they took more time to make a quality game than do what they did.

    When I say, "unfinished" I mean that literally. I honestly think Nintendo did not finish this game before they put it out. Examples:

    1. You can only pick stages randomly in free play. As an inconvenient workaround, you can toggle stages on and off (effectively letting you choose if you toggle everything off but the one you want).
    2. You can't play doubles in tournament mode. You can only do doubles in local and online free play.
    3. The main campaign has to do with collecting "Power Stones." When you get one, a magical chest opens, dramatically revealing... nothing. The way the shots are composed, it really looks like something was supposed to be floating out of that. There's even one shot where the camera zooms way back after a chest opens. I can just see, in my mind's eye, the Power Stone floating up out of the chest: the power stone they never made.
    4. Some challenges in the story campaign involve doing certain things within a time limit. Many challenges have several phases. In good game design, they will give the player a time bonus, or reset the time, after each phase. This way, if the player takes so long on phase one that they'll never have time to finish phase three, the game just cuts the player off right there (instead of pointlessly letting them play phase 2). In the early part of adventure mode, the game is designed this way. In the later part of adventure mode, you get your time up front in a big lump. I think they meant to go back in later and divide it out, but just never did.

    Ever since the 80s, the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" has meant something. I worry about the direction of this company if they continue pushing out unfinished products like this one.    … Expand

    Mario Tennis Aces is a good game, but not a great game. Now, the game itself is serviceable, but there are some questionable decisions Nintendo made on this.

I'm sure in the future some of these problems will be patched out, so in a couple months my review may come off as a bit silly and I'm willing to accept that, but I'm reviewing the version I played on launch.

    There's really 2 major issues I have with this game. The first is there's no option to play a traditional tennis match. I don't understand that decision. That's honestly the biggest issue I have. It's sold as a tennis game, but plays more like a tennis-lite game. The matches are just so much shorter and I don't like that too much. Apparently a lot of people in Europe have actually been trying to get refunded because they found the title a bit misleading because of this. I wouldn't go that far, but I do think it hurts the game. Not enough to ruin it, but it certainly doesn't help.

    Another issue is, and this is the one I think will be patched first, but why is there no option to retry a level in adventure mode? That's far more frustrating than it sounds like. Especially if you're down to the point you're sure you'll lose then you want to just play again from the beginning to speed things up but you can't. So your options are lose or quit. Either way, you'll be forced to watch the cutscene afterwards. For some reason you can skip the cutscene before matches but not after. I don't understand that.

    But, it's not all negative. The core gameplay is still solid. The controls are smooth and the adventure mode is still a great addition, even if it has its flaws. The graphics are great. I truly love them. And overall, it's a good game. But it's not great. It stops too short of being great to truly make me recommend buying this.    … Expand

    The rest of the game plays fairly well, though could use some balancing (where speedy and tricky characters are more or less useless, at least in my playtime), though could benefit from a cancellation mechanic for charging your shot if you make a mistake. Simple mode is an option for a sort of remedy for my primary complaint, but at that point, I'd rather play something like Wii Sports or just go back to Power Tennis on GCN, which only really had the inability to cancel charging. Also, the ability to get hit by the ball is a stupid mechanic, your swing should cover that if you would've otherwise hit the ball.

    I would enjoy this game, but the only way to get around only a few major flaws is by gutting the Mario Sports Games' best features, which is the more outlandish gameplay.

    I'd either wait to see if some of the things are addressed or skip this game entirely, which sucks because there is really good stuff in here, but it's just ruined by a cloak of stupid design.    … Expand

    Pros
    + Gameplay feels weighter
    + Graphics are much nicer than the original
    + The switch's capabilities make it so that tournaments are larger and overall the game feels like a mario themed tennis game more than the first.

    Cons
    - Clunky controls, the controls always seem to respond correctly to my opponents but it's touch and go with me, no matter how hard I press the buttons and my switch is relatively new
    - lack of customization. Seriously, they have a faux RPG system in the single player but it's ultimately meaningless. Same with the rackets.
    - Really frustrating online. It seems like you get matched with people either way better at the game than you or the controls respond more fluidly to them and not to you, even if you do the same thing as them.
    - Single player is kind of a joke. Feels ramshackled in and not a lot of effort was put into it. The focus is clearly on the single-player tournaments and online tournaments as opposed to any sort of campaign. Which is fine if you like that sort of thing but I vastly preferred the RPG elements in the original DS game.

    All-in-all, it's an okay sports game. If you like sports games, then perhaps this is for you. I was hoping for a revamped system of the old game so, in my opinion, this is not worth the $60 price tag I paid for it. That being said, it's not a bad game if you know what you're in for.    … 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.

    Brisk pace, easy control, good gameplay, lots of ideas and game modes. This is the new Mario Tennis Aces which is a wise purchase for your Switch. [Issue#288]

    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]
