Mario Tennis Aces Takes The Grand Slam In The UK Charts

too many games! still playing octco expansion, looking forward to m+r DK tomorrow , didnt finish dk tf yet and just got Hollow knigh, havent even started yet. phew ill need to take leave just to play these games

@jockmahon I agree way too many games. Great time to be a gamer

Well deserved... I was a little disappointed in how limited the motion controls side of the game was but the game itself is fantastic

Great game, aside from the fact that I suck at it.

It pretty much deserves it. A few weird omissions aside, it's a great tennis game, and introduces the first meaningful mechanicals to the series since its inception - and the option to completely turn them off! The fact I haven't taken advantage of this is testament to how much I'm enjoying them.

Hopefully we'll see some of the obvious stuff eventually make its way into the game as the character roster grows. In the mean time, it's still offers a great game of tennis.

More importantly though, we need a Nintendo Life tourney!

Cant wait to see someone try and put a negative spin on this. Should be funny

Great game. My win ratio is bad. I was great at the demo but now I suck.

I don’t like how it’s turming into mario kart Wii and the best players are waluigi and baby bowser

Wow. I guess I misjudged the UK market!

Finally, a UK Chart you can post on day 1 😉

Demo was not my thing but glad to see for all the Grand Slam fans. Maybe even get some kids into tennis.

@Nunya

Look at the top, there are only games out since several weeks... Not even 1 "new" game.

Duh a "just new release game" + coming after a hole of 6 months without a major title on the Switch = Number 1... LOL

That's fantastic, Aces is great.

Someone 'shop a tennis racket in place of axe in Kratos' hand and he'll be ready to take on the plumber.
He can even enter doubles with BOY

I honestly didn't see that coming!

Have yet to pick up the game (been too busy). It's good to see it selling so well.

WOW ...!!

Very impressive indeed.

Good for it. And I'm already done with it. It's only a minor step up from Ultra Smash sadly.

@Bread-Not-Toast Or to quote your earlier, actual opinion:

"Nintendo did well even if Aces is suppose to be rather disappointing."

I will undoubtedly get it in the next month or so.

I've got just over £200 in GAME Reward Points and store credit, so it's not the money per se, I'm just trying to be sensible with the Switch and when I get games, as I just don't have the time to play very much anymore, so don't like having more than one new game on the go at a time.

And I only just bought Hyrule Warriors a couple of weeks ago and want to finish that first (it was a toss up between the two but I am a sucker for anything Warriors lol).

Not to mention Wolfenstein 2, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic Mania and and a couple of 3DS Selects games that come out on the 29th of June too (Donkey Kong Country and Mario Maker), so for now Aces can wait a little bit lol

I NEARLY bought this on Friday but decided to wait till it's on sale as I'm not a big fan of mario tennis. And I have a massive back catalogue to get through so it would be a waste of €55

Jesus! Nintendo better updates this game regularly like they do with ARMS and Splatoon 2...

Also, can we finally get an RPG/Golf Mario game and another Soccer Strikers?

@readyletsgo same here, cancel pre-order at last minute. I left Sushi Strikers though plus the third party RPGs like Ys 8, Octopath Traveler and Shining Resonance. Oh also Wolfenstein 2.

@JJ286 lol yeah there's actually a crazy amount of 3rd party games doming in the next month or so that I'm looking forward to and will prob get more out of than Ace's

There must not have been a lot released last week.

Great game which the family are having loads of fun with. Also good to see a Nintendo game at No 1 in the UK charts

@Cobalt Duh, what an unfortunate way of denying Mario Tennis's success on the UK charts!

@Cosats
Not at all, I'm just not a "Nintendrone" who will be able to claim that everything is perfect with Nintendo.
You know that type of fanboys who will take your breath away if Nintendo will make a toilets simulator with the shape of a green plumber's pipe...

I'm just honest and I always say what I think is true.

Mario Tennis Aces has already outsold the lifetime sales of Mario Tennis Ultra Smash.

See what happens when you put back in much requested features like the Adventure mode Nintendo?

Hoping Super Mario Party does just as well to prove to them that listening does sell.

Loving this game so far, and it helps round out the Nintendo party games for this year, along with Super Mario Party and Smash Bros.

He here's hoping Mario strikers, Mario Golf, and Mario Sluggers appear on the Switch eventually, with similar improvements. Want to have them all. Lol

Nice debut, though 3 out of 10 Switch-only games is hardly taking over.

Might pick it up on sale eventually.

I would not have thought a Mario Tennis game would top any chart. It's not as though I expected it to do poorly, but the Mario sports games have always struck me as mid-level spin-offs, not major titles.

Smashing

I hated Mario Tennis.

@readyletsgo The Switch is the first Nintendo console since the SNES in where I own more third party games than first party games. I love that to be honest; I think this is the best Nintendo has ever been in awhile.

@JJ286 actually the same for me too. Have way more 3rd party and indie games on cart for the Switch than any other Ninty system in a long long time. Love them!
