not the circles on the ground again

dammit Nintendo

That's how I felt too. Going to wait until I hear more about this, but after Open I'm not too optimistic.

 

[valouris]

I NEED a single-player campaign ala Mario Tennis GBA.

 

[MissileTrick]

I was hoping for Strikers, but I love the main tennis games. I will have to see if it's actually a step up from the 3DS one , since I didn't like that one. So on my maybe list as of now.

 

[PadWarrior]

I want to pick up the wii or da version which is better?

 

[boiled goose]

no online confirmation?

 

[PreyingShark]

not the circles on the ground again

I like the circles when playing against other human beings. It leads to fakeouts and stuff like that.

They should add in the option to turn them off, though, along with the items. Options are nice.

 

[LosDaddie]

This game looks great. I always loved Mario Tennis.

 

[Exile20]

Is the chance shot thing from the 3ds version back? If so then no sale for me.

I want to play tennis not follow the spot around the court.

 

[PreyingShark]

no online confirmation?

The 3DS one has online despite the devs seeming to have some obsession with Mii costumes. So as long as Camelot is behind this I'm confident it will have online.

If they did even a moderate amount of research the main complaints people had with online - balance, gyro, lack of options overall, and no penalty for DCing - should be pretty obvious so I'm hoping they fix those things.

 

[AKC12]

Mario Tennis Open's gameplay is the best in the series, so I'm glad they brought back the chance shot mechanic. Adds quite a bit more depth to the game and forces players to think about their shot selection (hint hint, it isn't always a good idea to use the same shot as the chance spot indicates).

Hopefully they decide to add in a robust single player mode for consoles for once, but I'll play this game for a while if the online is lagless most of the time.

 

[PadWarrior]

I hope they show more gameplay really excited for this

 

[Jintor]

RPG Mode please for the love of god

 

[Kabuki Waq]

I hope they have classic n64 style ring tennis.

Thats all i need.

 

[Dizzy]

Looks great. I can only play the Wii one on my Wii U, and I don't really like the motion controls so it's nice that I won't have to dig out an old console again for some Mario Tennis.

I'm glad they went with this and not Golf first.

 

[dreamfall]

H Y P E ! I can't wait to play this- I hope the online matches are smooooth!

 

[kunonabi]

please say online with some ranked play modes.

while we're at it. needs some a dodgeball game. make it happen Nintendo.

Mario Sports Mix has a perfect dodgeball in it. It plays exactly the way I used to play it in elementary school.

 

[Choomp]

If you want each to be shallow garbage like Mario Sports Mix then sure.

I know it's Nintendo, but is asking for a legit baseball/soccer/basketball (whatever sport) collection really too much?

 

[jts]

Screams budget title. Hope the MSRP is budget as well like Toad and Splatoon.

 

[Zalman]

I'm a big fan of Mario Power Tennis, so I'll keep an eye on this. I hope it has an intro similar to the games they made on GameCube.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Do we know who's making this?

 

[Zero²]

Do we know who's making this?

Platinum?

Spoiler

/s

 

[Canon]

This is important:

WHERE THE FUCK IS WII MOTIONPLUS?

 

[NoKisum]

I guess this is why we don't have a new Golden Sun yet...

Hope Camelot does a great job at making this one.

 

[Roo]

All the screenshots available plus placeholder boxart

I have to say I'm impressed by how good it looks.
It definitely seems to be using the same engine as Mario Kart 8
Hopefully this game has a good roster unlike others..

 

[Zalman]

Do we know who's making this?

Camelot is listed on Nintendo's E3 website.

 

[PadWarrior]

Give me all the koopa kids please
I hope treehouse shows this I want to see more of it. Love me Mario sports

 

[morikaze]

Camelot is listed on Nintendo's E3 website.

Nice. Hopefully Sakuraba too.

 

[Theognosis]

Day 1.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Camelot is listed on Nintendo's E3 website.

Oh wow, didn't know Camelot still made these.

 

[Smashman45]

Well it's certainly nice to see a Camelot-developed home console Mario sports title again. And that is definitely the Kart 8 engine at work. Looks lovely.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Sad that this was the most major new Wii U game (SF wasn't new per se), however, YES!!!

Can you believe we finally have a new Camelot Mario sport game for the first time since 2004 with Power Tennis on GC? Yeah we had We Love Golf, but it felt off if I'm honest.

Hope Diddy's still in, and K. Rool is a newcomer.

Beautiful! Hope there's anti-aliasing this time.

 

[jts]

I honestly don't think it looks that good. Characters seem relatively low-poly. Aliasing checks in.

Mario Tennis Open with a Wii U makeup.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Did Mario open tennis have a traditional ring tennis mode?

 

[Rodin]

Ok i liked this but showing it during a better event would've hyped people more about it, now i'm afraid it will go mostly unnoticed. Hopefully they'll do it justice during the Treehouse.

 

[Roo]

I was just watching the trailer in HD
Holy shit at the negative rep.

 

[PtM]

Wiimote controls or gtfo.

Also, Peach's head is huge.

 

[Aostia]

no online nor rpg element?

 

[Dereck]

Nintendo Network logo could mean more than what I think

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Guys, check it...

On the far left in the stands, you can see a logo for "Catherine" (Birdo) with her bow. Birdo confirmed?

[Falchion]

This is a Wii U seller for me. Mario Tennis on 64 was one of my most played games and is one of the best party games out there because it’s so easy to learn.

Can't wait for this

 

[Enforced]

Looks good. I think the last mario tennis game I played was in the gamecube. I'm waiting for rosalina screenshot.

 

[Revven]

Three things I'm hoping for:

1) You can turn off the mega mushrooms/other items (if there are any others) like you could turn off the Power Smashes in Power Tennis
2) You can turn off the circles (except the star ones that allow you to spike them like in previous games) -- again, similar to the above.
3) No Miis (seriously the customized Miis killed Open Tennis' online multiplayer).

Hopefully Camelot learned from Open Tennis but I'm... not expecting it...

 

[Randomizer]

Loved me some Mario Power Tennis on Gamecube, actually surprised how excited I am for this.

 

[muteant]

Played it in the floor. graphically it's very easy on the eyes and it controls well. Hope there's depth to the gameplay modes.

 

[PadWarrior]

I'd avatar quote you if I wasn't on mobile lol

 

[FLAguy954]

I'm already calling that this game will lack online multiplayer and rpg elements.

 

[timetokill]

I'm already calling that this game will lack online multiplayer and rpg elements.

RPG elements yes, but lack of online? I seriously doubt that.
