With Wimbledon only a few months away we can already taste that heady mix of strawberries and cream with a cold glass of Pimms, so what better way to keep that mood going than a new trailer for the Nintendo Switch-bound Tennis World Tour?
The new trailer is all about the game's offline career mode, which sees you managing your avatars stamina while competing in tournaments, earning sponsorships and buying new equipment. It's pretty standard fare if you've played the likes of NBA 2K18, but we're hoping its systems are balanced and rewarding enough to keep us interested from rank 100 to number one.
Here's the new trailer in all its racket-swiping glory. Will you be taking to its virtual courts this May, or will you be holding out for a certain other tennis title headed to Switch this summer? Go on, share your take with us below...

Quite looking forward to this. Could be an excellent alternative to Mario aces
I don’t get the tagline.
Anyway, if this is of the same quality as Virtua Tennis 4, I’m definitely interested.
Any word on if this will have motion controls? It's clear from the video that this is the PS4 version
I'm not a lover of forced motion controls just for the sake of it but Tennis games are tailor made for them
If it doesn't I'll probably get the Xbox version and Stick with Mario Tennis Aces for the Switch
Ah...
Still prefer Cartoonish Tennis from Mario Tennis Aces.
I'm looking forward to this more than Mario tennis. If it reviews well I'll be investing.
Looking forward to this more than Mario "Tennis"
Kinda becomes work at this point! lol
@Marios-love-child : I strongly doubt it. I would expect that all versions of the game will be virtually identical in terms of content.
I would love for motion controls to be included, but the management and fatigue elements of the game seem to preclude any possibility of motion controls unless there is a separate multiplayer or free play mode in which motion controls can be used.
This tennis game is not realistic... no doping. Instead of racket choice, let us choose the kind of performance enhancement drugs we can buy to level up.
@Yasume The tagline is the catchphrase of tennis super-brat John McEnroe
All I see in this trailer are a bunch of numbers, pie-charts and endless boring lists. Just give me some awesome gameplay, like Mario Aces will hopefully provide in a little while longer
I'm thinking nintendo direct in may reasons why this.Mario tennis aces pre launch trail,spyro,dark souls delay. Oh and we are getting a smash competition before e3 one day before. If all this doesn't say another direct or mini before e3 i don't know what does.
Looking forward to this. Played Virtua Tennis 4 on the vita and hoping it plays as good as that.
@electrolite77 same. I'm looking for a more realistic tennis game this generation, as opposed to gimmicky item laden affairs.
Like NBA, we have cartoony ones and serious ones, so I'm happy.
can't wait to get this game
don't forget to eat and poop
I hope this game has a good motion control system built in. I’m also looking forward to this more than Mario Tennis.
Looks good If the file size isn't too large it should be a nice game to have available for a match now and then...
Wow, a sports game that is not a port of a mobile game? This could actually be good!
I'd love to play a new tennis simulation, I loved playing Virtua Tennis back in the days.
Will def purchase this if reviews are decent. Like myself a good sim. Mario Tennis is a must buy also but for different reasons.
@SomeWriter13
Yeah exactly. Something for everyone.
Gonna skip this and get Mario tennis
@Syntaxkita the older Camelot sports games were really great and loved the game boy ones in particular for the career mode. Hoping Mario aces will be more like that as ultra smash was terrible. Virtua tennis 2 on the Dreamcast was my timesink at one point. I spent so many hours on that career mode it’s unbelievable. If this game is half as good as that I’d be pleased but not gonna get hopes up just in case
Looking like Virtua Tennis, so I am interested. Any goofy minigames? I like those.
Looks good but they spelt equipment wrong in the menu.
That's awful quality control.
@RETRO_J ah! That makes sense. Made me worry about the level of quality in the game.
I really look forward to this. I loved Smash Court and Virtua Tennis. I really hope they nail it.
Not bad looking, but MTA comes first.
@RETRO_J Extra tenner? You guys are spoiled rotten. Here in Australia, the Legends Edition costs an extra AU$40.
