    An inexpensive, simple arcade game for all audiences. Maybe it's too inexpensive, since it lacks depth in the playable aspect and it shows a technical limitation like games from past generations.

    Tennis is a bite-size arcade take on the famous sport but a complete lack of interesting game modes and seriously lacking gameplay make this less of an ace and more of a double fault.

    Tennis is so lacklustre in every single department that we’re honestly baffled this managed to get a full release. The modes on offer are incredibly basic, the characters are dire, and the lack of any sort of progression through the game means there’s absolutely nothing to keep you going. The Joy-Con controls are a very small highlight, but Tennis is one we’ll want to forget in a hurry.

    There's little to no reason to recommend Tennis to anyone. The paltry amount of modes is unsatisfying, and the characters' only differences lie in their limited speech bank that repeats incessantly. The presentation is bearable, but seeing it struggle is bewildering. More importantly, despite the number of control schemes available, it feels like wasted work since your only real interactions with the game are reduced to hitting the ball. Despite the tempting $8 price tag on the game, you're better served waiting for any other tennis game to come along for the system.

    Critics are haters. What we have here is a fun little game, with excellent graphics, controls, and game play. Worth your time for the cheap price.

    And it is a superb fitness training, as the game is fully supporting joy con motion controllers.
    There is even an endless mode, where you should make as much combo hits as you can. And the game speeds up with every perfect hit.
    Split screen gaming for the local multiplayer gaming is also supported.

    The game is very sensitive to motion controllers, so it's hard to make some hits.
    But there is a detailed instruction about making various hits.

    Also the game costs nothing on a sale.
    I slightly reduced the score only for annoying unswitchable sounds and music.
    But overall i highly recommend it for a kind of fitness training, when playing hard.    … Expand
