Review Mario Tennis (GBC) - Camelot's Ace Little Tennis RPG Is Hard To Fault
Courts of appeal
This review originally went live in 2014, and we're updating and republishing it to celebrate the game's arrival in Switch's Game Boy (Color) library via Nintendo Switch Online. For whatever its name is worth, Mario Tennis doesn’t feature a lot of the red guy — at least at first. That may come as an initial disappointment to...

Guide Best Mario Tennis Games Of All Time
Every Mario Tennis game, ranked
Coming in second behind his mightily successful karting exploits, Tennis is Mario's next most prolific pastime - that is if you don't count partying (which we don't). He's not bad with a golf club in his hand, either, but it's centre court where the plumber has the most sporting titles to his name. But what's the...

Feature Memories of Court Battles in Mario Tennis
Nintendo Life writers and some readers pitch in
We're not going to sugar coat it - Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash isn't a golden entry in the spin-off series. We were disappointed by the lack of content in our preview and are currently testing out online play before publishing our review, but what we can say right now is that we w
Feature A History of the Mario Tennis Franchise
Holding court
Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom chums are a talented bunch. They race karts and motorbikes, compete for medals in the Olympics, get into the swing of golf and more besides. They also, of course, play a bit of tennis - maybe it's for the exercise, the fashionable sportswear or to enjoy a post-match bowl of strawberries and cream...

This week's Nintendo Download update for North America is in, though it prompts a distinct feeling of déjà vu due to it being almost identical to last week's update; just two new downloads make an appearance. Our suspicion is that the details are reiterated to compensate for any confusion or loss of...
