Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Is Coming To The Wii U Centre Court This Holiday Season

This is amazing so much Mario being revealed

No sight of Donkey Kong in that trailer?

You can't be serious, man.

YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!

You know I don't think I've ever seen a Nintendo Direct (yes, a regular Direct) that was as disappointing as this Digital Event.

Ok, so we get this instead of a new Strikers...

Nice.

Well, I'm getting this, at least.

I hope this is better than Mario Tennis Open D: !

I hope this plays as well as Wii Sports Club Tennis. It will only be worth playing if there's a decent online community

We have tennis on 3DS. Why is this not baseball/soccer/football? Makes 0 sense. Must be a port of the 3DS so it costs less money?

I would rather have Mario Striker.

They announced so much before E3 and had nothing to back it up with...

@Toadthefox Same here, but I'm still excited for this game. I'm gonna get it since I didn't get the Mario Tennis Open for the 3DS.

If it's better than Open, I'll give it a whirl, if not....welp that'll be problem

Oh Nintendo....

I would've been excited for this had we not seen Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival before it. I just couldn't feel any emotions.

I am looking forward to this but it is the last thing I wanted from Nintendo.

@DBPirate I got so excited think AC for Wii U and then it was a party game... I died a little inside.

Looks very plain.

Also, I expect Rosalina and Bowser Jr. in this.

The only way I would buy a full retail Mario sports games is if it included Tennis, Strikers, and Baseball on one disc for $60... or download separately for $25/each

Or at least Tennis & Golf...

I don't even know what to type I'm that disappointed just now.This looks great and I'll be getting it but that's it,Mario flaming Tennis.It'll probably not even have online.

I liked this, and very happy SOMETHING is coming to Wii U Better have online, though.

@Shirma_Akayaku Don't forget every Koopaling.

Seriously though, Mario's 30th anniversary is being so hyped but we're getting Mario Maker (which looks good but...) and the yearly Mario sports title. Wii U has yet to have a single player 3D Mario adventure like 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy. Guess it won't...

Not even nothing made available for after the show.2 Splatoon guns in a few hours,thats our lot.

This will need the most comprehensive, and customisable, online options in any Nintendo game to date in order for me to buy it.

It's bad to say but this is the only game from e3 (so far at least) that I'm actually looking forward to - on any platform

I might get this, as I skipped the one on the 3DS. I prefer my party sports titles to be enjoyed with the family.

I like Mario Tennis, but I didn't want it this E3. Camelot makes the Tennis games and they also made Golden Sun. I was hoping, since they finished Tennis and Golf on 3DS, they might work on GS4. Looks like they are going to work on Tennis and Golf on Wii U before an amazing RPG in the world of Weyard.....

Oh well, atleast I will enjoy this I suppose.

The only way Tennis would have been a cool surprise is if were available for download immediately... for a budget price.

I love Mario Tennis games! I hope the somehow bring back the RPG elements from the old GB Mario Tennis. Wishful thinking I know, but I still love these games

@ShadJV 3D World doesn't count??

Would've preferred another Mario Sports Mix, but I'm fine with this too if it will be better than Mario Tennis Open.

Not this again... Gimme Mario Golf U instead. Last home console edition was the gamecube. Love 3DS, but not for golfing.

Mario looks like his GameCube/DS era promotional art. Might be nice, but not a killer app by any means.

@LemonSlice

It's not a 3D experience in the way that Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy are. In the context of those games, no... although it's an incredibly fun game. I REALLY want to see a 'Galaxy' game for the Wii U. I'd love to see what they could do with the gamepad and asymmetrical gameplay. Perhaps even a proper two player experience...

Another Mario Tennis game... in a year that sees Zelda slip away and 2 new rather bland entries in the Animal Crossing franchise (why not at least an expansion for New Leaf?). Even Star Fox ultimately looks somewhat unimpressive (not saying that it still couldn't be fun). I'm more excited for the 3DS games at this point...which would be fine if the Wii U didn't need to impress. I can only hope that Nintendo still has some surprises waiting for us. Digital event fail.

Sniff hopefully better than the 3ds game.. sniff

I have to say this. I know I'll get flamed, but I'm still gonna say it. I was very underwhelmed by Nintendo's conference. They could have had a stronger showing then this. I'm actually quite saddened. This is nothing like their E3 of last year. Profound sadness.....

@holygeez03 I came here to post that exact comment. I'd like to see a Mario sports package. As a stand-alone game, I'm not to keen on just tennis.

Mario Tennis was/is great fun... but it's just a bit stale as a video game... as are all sports games... but I wouldn't mind having all of the good Mario sports games in HD on the Wii U... very little development is required since the games only need to be modern remakes of the old games with graphical improvements and roster updates.

There's no need to re-invent anything... and it would be a great way to get a fun game out quickly and then have DLC for additional venues, courses, characters, etc.

The only reason I would ever buy Mario Tennis U is if it becomes very cheap and I can play it off-TV with the gamepad.

Mario Power Tennis is my favourite of the Mario sports games, and one of my favourite Gamecube games, so a new Mario Tennis game for Wii U does please me a lot.

That said, I feel having it as an E3 reveal alongside Mario & Luigi Paper Jam as well as so much Mario Maker coverage took away some of my enthusiasm for this game. I really feel they should have shown this off at some other time, like in the micro-direct we had prior to E3 or even leave it as a treehouse reveal. Too much Mario in a single condensed video would be my main criticism of why I wasn't fond of Nintendo's Digital Event this year.

Welp. I skipped the 3ds on So I'm pretty stoked about this!

@LemonSlice as someone else answered for me, no. 3D World was great, but it focused more on multiplayer than single player and was a level-based platformer instead of a world-based adventurer. Granted, Galaxy 2 was more divided into levels, but the previous three I mentioned had hubs and exploitable worlds, more of an emphasis on exploration... Super Mario 3D World was like Nintendo shouting, "Look, we still can make couch multiplayer fun!" Hardly the grand Mario exploration adventure we've gotten every gen since 64. That's where Mario truly shines.

Don't get me wrong, Super Mario Maker looks incredible, but for vastly different reasons. It's like getting a birthday cake every year and then suddenly you get ice cream instead, and you're just so used to a cake it doesn't feel right, something's missing, and you realize what would be great with the ice cream is more cake, now a la mode.

It's sad that this was the Wii U's biggest brand new reveal.

With all these Nintendo Crossovers as of late I feel that Link and Gannondorf should be in this.

@AceTrainerBean I was so excited for this E3 for just that reason. Mario transformed into Isabelle on Mario Maker and my brother and I started jumping around the room. Then, we saw Happy Home Designer and were like, "All right, U is next." Then we saw Amiibo Festival and the same feeling happened.

I don't understand the disconnect between Nintendo and their fanbase these days.. I'd imagine if a poll were tossed up to choose between a new Tennis or Strikers, the weight would lay heavy on the latter.

I dunno about you guys, but I'm hyped for this.

@Iggly Agreed so much. I had so much fun with Mario Sports Mix that I would love to see its sequel on Wii U (if there will be...). As for Mario Tennis Open, after looking at some of its gameplay footages and its info on Mario Wiki, I decided to skip on it at that time whereas Mario Golf: World Tour drove my expectations beyond the links (I bought it), and I honestly say this as a man who preferred Mario Tennis over Mario Golf thoughout my life.

Even though Open wasn't amazing I played it to death so will be getting this for local with mates.
