Topic: Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash - OT

after some multiplayer sessions my dad and me agree on the fact that the game doesn't hold up. lack of control on the shots and their direction/lenght, no (double) faults or outs, impossibility of consistent aces, the fact that heavyweight characters have enough reach to compensate for their slowness and so on. Mario Tennis 64 was miles ahead, and that was years ago.
so it'll be the VC Tennis option, despite the price of a Pro controller, it's totally stupid you can't use the nunchuk/wiimote for N64 VC titles, especially as Mario Tennis 64 only uses two buttons.

The graphics are great but roster is too small and there isn't enough going for the game that has any lasting appeal. If you can play some 4 player local matches, it might be fun for a bit but I got sick of this faster than Mario Party 10.

There isn't real plot to this game like mario super sluggers. It looks like another filler title to sexualize rosalina....

@Barbiegurl777: It's like SFV, solid gameplay, but lackluster content. It's a game I'll be getting eventually, because the gameplay is good from what I've read, but I'm not going to pay €45 for this. I wouldn't pay 50 bucks for this, you can get yourself many more hours worth of gameplay for that money.

It's really awkward that I've seen more people saying Mario Party 10 is better than this. At my store, we barely sold through our first box in the first month.

I took the plunge at the £27.99 ($38.95) price point... I can't argue with the fact that the content is severely lacking, however, what has made it in the game satisfies my needs from a Mario themed tennis game. I do tend to play in 'vanilla' mode, minus all the bells and whistles attributed to the special moves as this tends to detract from my overall enjoyment.

I'm surprised it's taken this long for the arrival of a Nintendo/Camelot sports game on Wii U. Whilst I'm sure that had the console been more commercially successful we would have already seen the likes of Mario Golf or Mario Baseball, I just can't help wishing for another Mario Strikers Charged...

@Harmunt: I honestly think a Mario Golf game may be an unannounced Wii U game for this year, if not then I guess Nintendo's being super preserving of the Wii Sports brand so the handheld consoles get the Mario sports games while the home consoles get little else outside of some kind of Wii Sports game.

I really enjoyed this game initially and now when I do still play from time to time its still great fun but I just wish it had more content so that I was spending more time with it. Mario Party is the better game but I am also a massive fan of the series.

I just rented this. I love it.

I think I will buy when it hits the $29.00 range.
