When Mario Tennis Aces was released in June, it was praised for improving the series. Not long after, it was criticised by players - with some even calling the game's developer Camelot "lazy" for not fleshing out certain modes and features. The character roster was linked to this, with a limited selection of players on release.
Since then, the developer has fixed bugs, added in features and slowly released more characters. Yesterday we found out Luma, Pauline and Boom Boom would be joining the player roster early next year, and now, Nintendo's Japanese YouTube account has uploaded two new videos (above and below) promoting the upcoming arrival of Petey Piranha and Shy Guy. These two new characters will be added to the roster in December alongside the online tournament doubles division - allowing you to compete with a friend. Peter Piranha is all about powerful actions on the court and Shy Guy specialises in technical play.

Take a look at these short videos and let us know if you're still enjoying Mario Tennis Aces on the Switch.

ONLINE TOURNAMENT DOUBLES! MY DREAM COME TRUEEEEEEE

If Petey's in, will there be a Cage Match? -guffaw-
Shy Guy is a great addition but Petey looks kinda unbalanced for this game.
yawns
Nintendo...I seriously doubt anyone cares with Smash coming out real soon. lol
Can Nintendo stop focusing on so many characters instead of addressing some much-needed features and improvements? Nintendo keeps focusing on the wrong things, and i can't say im surprised anymore.
Petey Piranha makes a lot more sense than generic piranha plant.
@Joeynator3000 So they should just drop other games?
Man, this just looks like more fun. I already spent too much money on other games and hardware, but I need to buy this game, and fast.
I never knew they were adding online doubles tournaments. Hopefully it will bring some people back online as the last few times I've played it I've not been able to find an opponent.
This is great and I love Shy guy but why did the drop co-op challenge when it’s the only way to unlock costumes? Really enjoyed playing that with my partner and my sister
Edit: nevermind the new update brings it woo
Cool, I guess. I'll probably wait for next year to unlock them since Smash is due next month.
Guess I'll be doing this before Smash comes out.
About Petey Piranha,
Who else wonders what will happen when his ‘racket’ breaks? Does his arm fall off?
@Joeynator3000 I am excited! This is one of those games that I expected very little from as far as enjoyment, but has exceeded my expectations by far. I will definitely be playing this.
