Has anyone said no rpg mode, no buy?
Pretty sure it still has the standard tournament modes that the other console Mario Tennis games have.Has there even been any mention of single player content besides a few gimmick modes?

i cry everytime.
RPG mode would have been a DAY ONE purchase. now, I'll probably wait to pick it up cheaper. Maybe they'll do a Mario Golf 3DS with RPG mode. Mmmmm.
No Woman No Cry.no boy no cry ore zenshin go
Why does it say 'online mode' then only mention local play?
I've honestly never played a Mario Tennis game. Kinda hesitant to get this. There is nothing else coming on the system until E3 it seems outside of this an Heroes or Ruin that I'm interested in. If I get it I'll just wait for Amazon to deliver it and not rush out to the store on Sunday to get it. Which is rare when I buy a Nintendo game. I usually don't like to wait.
I wish this was a GameCube game instead.
That sounds amazing. The idea of a gold-rpg sounds kind of hilariously adorable. Throw in Mario's wacky charm when it comes to RPGs, and that'd be a day one purchase for me.
Also, wasn't there a mario-golf-rpg on Gameboy? Too bad it wasn't an ambassador game...
Doesn't actually have online? The fuk?

I'm pretty sure it does.
That's what the leaderboard is for, right
Ahhh so it's like London Olympics 3DS then... you can upload and download scores and stuff.I'm pretty sure it does.

But no online matches
I don't know what everyone is whining about. Do none of you have friends you can play with? My coworkers and I are picking this shit up, and we're gonna play the hell out of it. Download play means that we'll be rotating between 6 or 7 of us everyday at lunch.

Play online* with your friends in exciting singles or doubles matches, as you trade lobs, drop shots and smashes loaded with topspin

Use Parental Controls to restrict 3D mode for children 6 and under.
That classic Camelot sports game font. Day one.
Quite strongly disagree with you there. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn may have been a let down, but the previous two were quite frankly fantastic. The two GBA sports RPGs were great as well, never played anything like them really.
Beyond the Beyond Advance was garbage, lets not kid ourselves.
Also lulz at "I'll buy at $20", so basically you'll never buy it because it'll never drop that cheap.
Is Mario Tennis Open coinciding with the debut of Nintendo Network?
Kid Icarus already has the NN logo on the box.
Some new gameplay videos:
Luigi vs. Bowser Jr.
Diddy Kong vs. Bowser
These might be worth a new thread, I'm not sure. Someone else can feel free to make it if so.
Anyway, this game seems to be flying under the radar a bit. I went to see if Amazon was offering their $.99 release date shipping for it (they're not) and it was ranked something like 630 in the video games category; seems pretty low for something coming out in two weeks.
And before someone asks, there's no fucking RPG mode.
See the Nintendo Network logo

Maybe you shouldn't jump to conclusions next time.
yeah really undecided on these videos... I mean either the gameplay system does not ALLOW for angled shots or the player quite simply SUCKS!
what's with the hitting back and forth? someone must not have understood the concept of tennis... you're supposed to hit it in a spot the other player can NOT reach to make the point!

Iwata said:For the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U, we will push forward to make the software compatible with Nintendo Network.
The Community matches of Mario Kart 7 that I have just referred to is one example.
Just so you know, what you actually posted is ambiguous. Other official info makes it clearer - and apparently you can only play online multiplayer in your region, i.e, for me I can only ever compete against other Aussies.
Haha yeah, i just read about that elsewhere, but it really isn't clear. It's still speculation at this stage. Of course, it would be nonsense not to include that kinda basic online multiplayer functionality, but... you never know.Pretty sure you can still play against anyone on your friend list.
Most Tennis games (like previous Mario Tennis games) make it relatively easy to hit the ball straight to the opponent but harder to tweak the positioning toward the ball to make more angled shots. The videos so far look very tame both from player ability as well as AI difficulty so far. I'll just assume they are from early in the game.yeah really undecided on these videos...

Anyway, will this have any type of character growth?
Seriously... I'm not usually one to comment on the skill level of people in game videos but that was just dreadful...It looks like the IGN player is incapable of aiming the ball anywhere but the center of the court.
I'm in the exact same boat as you and I've been asking the same question for months now. What in the world will the actual SP in this game look like? If it's only gimmicky extra modes and exhibition matches then I will be very disappointed.I love HS Tennis on PSP (not playable on Vita )

I'll still get it if the core gameplay is good.
It's a tournament mode, just like in the console games.I'm in the exact same boat as you and I've been asking the same question for months now. What in the world will the actual SP in this game look like? If it's only gimmicky extra modes and exhibition matches then I will be very disappointed.
Has there been any coverage of it at all? I've looked at all the threads about the game that I've seen but I'm yet to see a single person actually confirm a tournament mode. Obviously it would be crazy not to have something like that but I honestly haven't seen or heard anything concrete about it.It's a tournament mode, just like in the console games.

Awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for! I have no idea why none of the previews I read mentioned it but thanks for finally putting my concerns to rest.Yes.
For all intents and purposes think of this as exactly like a console Mario Tennis game, but remove the power shots from Power Tennis, add a Mii character that you can customize and add online multiplayer.
Yes.
