Anacybele Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Rosalina looks cute in that outfit! I'd been waiting to see her in one. :) Is she in a Mario golf game yet? I prefer golf to tennis. And I played Mario Golf 64 a fuckton back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintessence Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 OMGGGG this looks amazing. The nostalgia of Mario Tennis :< Totally gonna get this game even if it is to play alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaMonkey Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Current Roster So judging by that picture, Toadette, Bowser Jr., Dry Bowser (?) and umm.... random Sprixie Princess (?) are unlockable characters... That's kind of disappointing, to say the least. I mean, where's Wiggler and Shyguy? Edited October 23, 2015 by NinjaMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I believe it's also at a lower price point of $40. Doesn't look like there's a whole lot to the game so I think this price point makes sense. Certainly makes it tougher for me to decide on the game. The amiibo functionality is easily the best we've had yet, period. It's like Smash but what separates it is the ability to take it online. That should be a lot of fun and it makes me glad I've actively been trying to get all the Mario amiibo (though I guess I need Wario and DK now). This is honestly what is making me think about getting the game. Also obligatory space waifu looks super hot with the miniskirt and leggings and magic sparkles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 the original post has online multiplayer all over it. Yeah, I'm amazing at reading. Anyways, looks pretty neat but nothing really unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I think it's strange how the roster selection uses the artwork from previous games, instead of using the artwork from this game. Just seems out of place to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I still remain feeling the same about this game. A big ol hearty, Eh. I really liked 64, GC and GBA but this just looks... Like it exists, it doesn't have an identity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's compatible with the Mario figures in both the Smash and Mario lines, so if you have Smash data on your Smash Mario amiibo, but you have a blank Mario Mario amiibo, no. However, I do have Mario Party 10 data on my Mario line amiibos... Eh, acceptable losses. Here's hoping I can include Link or Pikachu in a tennis match, too!

kingddd Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Looks like the general game is much faster now. Especially Smashes have been buffed significantly from the GCN version. Kind of glad since the smashes in Mario Power tennis were nerfed hard from the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTI28eIeSU4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zera Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 For a game titled "Ultra Smash", it sure looks a lot less smashing than Smash Bros.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintessence Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I kind of miss the special powers of the gamecube (?) version, I wonder if this is everything about the game or is it offering more stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingddd Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I kind of miss the special powers of the gamecube (?) version, I wonder if this is everything about the game or is it offering more stuff. I felt the inclusion of the special powers made the general regular tennis gameplay too easy. Meaning if you played without the special power options, It was very rare for a fault or a double fault to occur. Outs never really happened often and the ball always seems to curve right before the out line. The gameplay was slowed down slightly to compensate with the special powers to make up for it. The lack of details are worrying me. It does seem like a last minute decision to make this game in order to help fill in the holiday libraries despite my excitement for online play and hopefully they don't region lock it like the 3DS version.

Quintessence Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Ah right, I recall some offensive powers were bull but there where moments were my brother and i blocked them and the match getting intense as a result. And yeah I feel pretty much the same way there. I feel it is a bit plain and was kind of rushed just to be released. It worries me some lack of content, like few characters (not that mario tennis had that huge content though, but I hope you know what I mean). I still will plan to get it because it is a traditional game I like and it's really fun. And I like tennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Rosalina looks cute in that outfit! I'd been waiting to see her in one. :) Is she in a Mario golf game yet? I prefer golf to tennis. And I played Mario Golf 64 a fuckton back in the day. I don't understand, its just a recolor of Peach/Daisy sports dress. I think I'll buy this. Really need a new multiplayer game after Smash and Splatoon was bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zera Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think I'll buy this. Really need a new multiplayer game after Smash and Splatoon was bad. I know of many good multiplayer games... if you want some suggestions, just PM me. I bought Splatoon but haven't played it yet. What makes it bad?

kingddd Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) https://checkout.nintendo.com/#/item/WUPNAVXE/billing digital preorder for the game is up and it apparently takes up 888mb and it's releasing a day earlier there. Also some menus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZExyf_nxAk Edited November 1, 2015 by kingddd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintessence Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Nice. Also, the eShop has a video showing Dry Bowser and Bowser Jr. http://youtube.com/watch?v=H0PXug5LoLg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingddd Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Some bad news. There doesn't seem to be a friends mode option for online so far in the previews. Not to mention if you want to play Doubles Online, you either have to A have a local friend with you or B get an amiibo to play with you. Therefore Doubles with randoms seem to be impossible. 5:28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw342fD1ay8 Edited November 3, 2015 by kingddd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintessence Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Oh boy That's kind of lame. I have zero local friends my brother doesn't count because he never plays with me anyways. I'm wondering at this moment if this game is definately worth the investment given my case lol. It is not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
