It looked great (Mario Kart 8 engine) and I always loved Mario Tennis.

 

[kunonabi]

Not really interested in Tennis again. Should have been football.

WALUIGI'S TIME TO SHINE

 

[Diddy Kong]

I'm always down for Mario Tennis. Hopefully it won't be as weaksauce as the 3ds version was.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Mario Tennis is really fun. Hope there's amiibo support.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

not the circles on the ground again

dammit Nintendo

So it's basically Mario Tennis Open Wii U? Bah, preorder cancelled. I want Mario Tennis 64 gameplay back damnit.

 

[Memles]

From Nintendo's E3 site...how is there no mention of online multiplayer?

Compete with friends in the multiplayer Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash game on the Wii U system. Along with the fun and dynamic gameplay known to the franchise, surprise your opponents with a new move to the series, the Jumpshot, which sends the ball flying down the court. Change the sport up with new Mega Battles, using the Mega Mushroom to gain an advantage over the competition. Claim your spot in Mario Tennis lore in singles (1v1) or doubles (2v2) as you play with and against family, friends or the CPU using returning and new characters to the series.

Love it. Probably the best thing for me in the that conference.

 

[deleted]

I'm not a fan of the giant mushroom - it's probably the worst item in recent Nintendo games and it's getting way too much attention.

Other than that - it looks nice. Would have preferred a new Mario Soccer though.

 

[Puaru1]

I'm ready to hit the courts with Daisy.

 

[Dereck]

I don't like it when Nintendo doesn't confirm or deny online in these types of games right out the gate.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

No online, no buy.

 

[DashReindeer]

Maybe the best thing in the Direct. Weirdly glossed over considering it's supposed to be coming out this year to pad out the holiday release schedule.

 

[jholmes]

Love it. Probably the best thing for me in the that conference.

Not the game I'm most excited for but definitely the best reveal of the conference.

 

[PadWarrior]

Will this be at the treehouse?

 

[Kinsei]

So it's basically Mario Tennis Open Wii U? Bah, preorder cancelled. I want Mario Tennis 64 gameplay back damnit.

Yeah. Maybe there will be a classic mode?

 

[secretanchitman]

Nice to see pro controller support, but where the hell is the online multiplayer?

 

[PSqueak]

Cant say no to a game that lets me play as/against a giant princess!

Giant peach just made hundreds of people gain a new fetish

Yes... "new"....

>.>;;

 

[AzureTranquility95]

I don't like it when Nintendo doesn't confirm or deny online in these types of games right out the gate.

There's no need. The 3DS game had online. The WiiU game is guaranteed to have it. Nintendo just doesn't really care for it, understandably. They've explained why in the past.

you would think it does.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Who's developing???

 

[devonodev]

My most hyped reveal is a Mario Tennis game.

I'll take it, but I wish it was under better circumstances.

 

[FonkyByNature]

Nice !!! I love Mario Tennis so this is a buy !

 

[Zero148]

that is no strikers sadly, but Mario Tennis is awesome too

 

[Calvero]

What is up with the name? lol
i love these Mario sport games though so

 

[Black Mantis]

Day one!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Very much looking forward to this. I love Mario Tennis so much.

 

[Kouichi]

Looks great. Shy Guy better be playable!

 

[GustyGardens]

This one looks really good! I'm hoping it comes up on the Treehouse stream soon.

 

[devonodev]

What is up with the name? lol
i love these Mario sport games though so

It sounds like a Street Fighter name haha

 

[PadWarrior]

I hope all the loops kids are playable yes I love the critters

 

[Madao]

i hope the game has an appropriate price like Kirby and Captain Toad.

no way this sells at $60. $40 is the most it should cost (unless it has a lot of extras but going by the 3DS version, that's unlikely)

 

[Ushojax]

The online had better not be region IP-locked like the 3DS game.

 

[MaverickHunterX]

Sure. Kind of a barebones reveal.

I thought this too. Kinda hard to justify $60 for this.

Maybe they need to start bundling this with Mario Golf...

 

[Kazerei]

Aww yeah, I loved Mario Tennis Open, I never understood why it got so much flak. The base gameplay was solid and the new Chance Shot mechanic helped make things even livelier. Feels great when you get a Chance pop up. It also feels great when the opponent gets a string of Chances against you but you keep recovering.

Previous games were honestly a bit of a drag for me, because I'd keep getting in to long rallies with the CPU. The Chance Shot mechanic prevents things from getting dull.

 

[KageZero]

Come on, there should be at least some kind of online multiplayer avalible

 

[PadWarrior]

Which Mario tennis better the wii or da version I want to pick one up

 

[Schnozberry]

Come on, there should be at least some kind of online multiplayer avalible

There was for the 3DS version.

 

[OricWindstar]

Direct was beyond disappointing, but I'm happy for a new Mario Tennis.

 

[oakenhild]

Aww yeah, I loved Mario Tennis Open, I never understood why it got so much flak.

I think it was because there wasn't much in the game, notably missing the RPG elements I like in the nintendo sports games. I've been passing on it because of this.

 

[_DiGiTaL_]

Pleased at this was also hoping for Soccer though.

 

[_SAKY_]

Seems like Mario Power Tennis (GC) will remain the undisputed king of the series. :\ Way to phone it in Nintendo.

 

[hatchx]

I like the 2-player gamepad support, although this game needs some sort of online and decent single player mode.

 

[EulaCapra]

I'm not feeling optimistic. What they showed looked bare as bones for a game coming out within the next 6 months. And Mario Tennis Open felt pretty rushed as is.

 

[lazybones18]

Please be better than Mario Tennis Open

 

[AzureTranquility95]

Seems like Mario Power Tennis (GC) will remain the undisputed king of the series. :\ Way to phone it in Nintendo.

Well it's the same as Golf. Toadstool Tour is the definitive Golf game even after World Tour. No big deal, GameCube games will stay playable forever.

i hope the game has an appropriate price like Kirby and Captain Toad.

no way this sells at $60. $40 is the most it should cost (unless it has a lot of extras but going by the 3DS version, that's unlikely)

Nintendo seems to price games based on brands.

So expect $60 because Mario is in the title.

 

[RodentBR]

I'm starving for an arcade tennis game.

Gonna buy it.

 

[Man God]

MT 64 is still king in my book.

 

[iBlue]

This news fucking online or no buy

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Playable E. Gadd, that's all I ask!
