Topic: N64 Mario Tennis coming to America this week.

Well, looks like it is coming Monday. I'm broke, so I'll have to wait til July.

where did you find that out?

Um...Sourcelesspedia?

The GBC game unlocked extra courts, not characters.

Like Mario Golf, it also had the ability to transfer the GBC characters to the N64 game, but these weren't "unlockable characters", they were "your GBC characters with the exact stats they had at the point you transfered them". That obviously can't be implemented.

It got released pretty quickly after Europe this time.

Just like Golf...

YESSSS. I've never gotten a chance to play this.. Insta-download!

You and me both.

Definitely gonna buy this. Never got a hand at the original, so insta-buy!

Is it good? I'm skeptical because it doesn't have motion controls.

because all tennis games before the wii have been crap because they don't have motion controls?

I remember playing for hours on end. I'm definately getting it. I wish my N64 still worked

I prefer the classic controller to the wii motion controls so I think I'll get the N64 version instead of buying the Wiimake MPT. I just hope this version hasn't aged poorly.

Still give MPT GC a try.

Since the Wii does play GC discs, it does give me that option. So that begs the quesiton of which is the best version of Mario Tennis: N64, GC, or Wii-make?

N64 is classic tennis; MPT is more about power-ups. And some don't like that. I, on the other hand, LOVE MPT which is why I'm hesitating to get 64. I have both the GC and the Wii version. They're both great, but I think the GC delivers a faster pace and a slightly-less forgiving challenge factor.

I like the classic aspect, but then again the diverse-ness of the Mario world should be implemented to some extent.

Next points card, I'm getting this and Mario Golf.

@theLegend: Agreed. Do you enjoy some of the Wii Mario sports games such as Sluggers and Strikers Charged?
