Unlock Two Classic Outfits In Mario Tennis Aces Next Month

Should've been there from the start but, since it's free, I'm not complaining.

Kinda lame how it is locked behind your "performance" which remains a complete mystery at this point. They should have made it something easy where any kid could do it.

@JayJ I haven't grabbed any costumes in this game with exception of the first for playing the early beta test. Mostly because they aren't really even advertised in the notifications section or anywhere. I was hoping for more from this game but have largely moved on to other games instead which is too bad.

It just seems Nintendo could have done more to make even owners of the game aware of what was available without needing to have access to a phone and follow their Twitter account. As far as I'm aware these aren't even advertised in game.

This is the only game I’ve deleted from my Switch after purchasing. Utterly dull gameplay with a lot of noise and color. Huge disappointment.

I like free dlc no complaints here

Can't wait to unlock Metal Mario and Bronze Luigi next tourney

As much as I want Luma, I'm not paying for disconnections every 1 in 3 Splatoon matches.

@Malcrash I would love that.

@Nico07

They are announced in the notifications section literally every time. Did you subscribe to the Mario Tennis Channel?

Nice, free costume are nice. At least the few player in the game have something.

@TheAwesomeBowser You have bad internet, huh? Don't think I've heard of someone disconnecting 1 out of 3 matches. That's a new one. You know you can only blame Nintendo for so much. Sometimes it's the client and not the server.

@JayJ Agreed. Like, how many matches/tournaments do I need to win in order to get their classic outfits?

This is exciting. What a great game MTA has turned out to be. One of my favorite party games on the Switch.

@MarioLover92 you don’t have to win anything - these are all given just by participating in one match each month.

Was the classic Luigi outfit really once already available?

I thought only the classic Mario outfit was provided for taking part in the test phase.

The last... what... three tennis games have been mediocre.

Where is Mario Golf?

At one point, I was trying to unlock all characters and costumes. However, the Yoshi one had such bad connection that it was a waste of my time. Not interested any more really.

@Garage yep, you're right. The only one already released was Mario's during the beta test.
Anyway, I'm still enjoying this game a lot, because it's STELLAR. So sad Nintendo did big mistakes with it. The single player mode it's always been mediocre and the matchmaking was too punishing for beginners until the very last update.
Now it's almost perfect but sadly most players have abandoned it

Naw, I'm all about the shorts and lunchbox

Already have the Mario classic outfit. Will give it a go.

@TheAwesomeBowser It happens that often to you? I very rarely have connection issues here. It’s only in Smash that I notice some lag. But Splatoon 2 works perfectly fine.

Mario Tennis Aces was an okay game, I believe. It’s not bad. In some ways it’s really good. But it could’ve been so much more.

Haven't played in a while and went back to this, online isn't dead but it's so noticeable the impact paid online and maybe smash has had!! Could do with special tournament weekends like splatfest to get the community online at same time. Looking for a doubles partner to unlock shy guy and can't find one 🙄

@R1spam just look for a random partner online, you can.
Oh the doubles tournament, what a blast

Was it so hard for them to just give it as DLC to buyers? Not everyone has time to play all NS games released.

@SuperCharlie78 I actually grabbed a couple of games today and doubles is brilliant! Absoloute chaos, would be great local coop playing online

@nofriendo Gonna disagree with you saying "dull". Obviously Mario Tennis is not for you.

Luigi is still angry I see.

@IceEarthGuard You may have a point there. I love a good pick up and play arcade sports experience, and something about the mechanics of MTA turned me off. Too complicated for casual fun and too arbitrary to inspire mastery. I guess I had the wrong idea going in. Was also hoping it’d be good fun for couch play with my wife but the odd special moves turned her off, as they did me.

Aww, thought the Mario outfit was exclusive for those who played the Open Test...it also sucks that I won't be able to get the Luigi skin due to the event being limited to online and I refuse to get that service until it gives me something substantial.

@Shade_Koopa @Quarth It's not that I have bad Internet - in fact, I have amazing Internet for where I live - it's just that Nitneod doesn't want to spring for dedicated servers despite all the money they have made from the Switch alone. That means if I have good Internet (which I do) yet someone else has terrible Internet, there's at least an 85% chance I'll be disconnected mid-game. I would go on a full-on rant about NSO, but this isn't the place for it. And besides, I already have the Mario skin from the Beta or whatever they called it.
TL;DR: I'm not paying until dedicated servers come.

@Ryu_Niiyama LOL

@Kinoen Agreed. Need the Luigi skin as I already have the Mario skin, as I mentioned above.

@TheAwesomeBowser OK, it’s just that I haven’t experienced problems of that magnitude in Splatoon 2. I live in Sweden, we have pretty great Internet here overall, and my own connection is very good. The only game in which I’ve experienced lag is Smash Ultimate. Everything else works perfectly fine.

@R1spam "Online isn't dead but it's so noticeable the impact paid online and maybe smash has had." You have a point there. The paid service put off a lot people (including me) from playing online, and Smash is basically a mega-hit. If you need proof on the latter, read this article: https://www.kotaku.com.au/2018/12/irans-growing-nintendo-scene-pins-hopes-on-smash-ultimate/

@Quarth Fair enough, then.

Darn, the second I say Switch Online is trash (which it is), everyone suddenly comes to it's defence. Happy New Year!

@TheFanatic "...the Yoshi one had such bad connection that it was a waste of my time." Exactly what I'm trying to point out. If Nitneod used their money to create dedicated servers, Switch Online wouldn't have been so controversial to begin with.

@TheAwesomeBowser Dedicated servers are expensive to run, but I feel it would be worth it over time. I’d rather some games took a hit in their budget if it means universal dedicated servers.

@TheAwesomeBowser I agree that dedicated server would be nice. But it's not like it'll be an instant fix. Dedicated servers can't make up for bad internet. It's not a magic fix.

Regardless of the state of NSO (yes, it can greatly use some improvements) $20 bucks a year is peanuts. If you can avoid a Switch, you can afford the online membership. Refusing to pay just means your being cheap.

@TheAwesomeBowser I’m not defending it. I think it could be improved a lot, though the price is fair for what it is. I was just curious, as I haven’t experienced any troubles with Splatoon 2. Might have to do with you living in Australia and me in northern Europe.

@TheAwesomeBowser And what’s with the misspelling of Nintendo? I’ve seen others do it too. Auto-correct on the phone or written in a mocking way? LOL!

Even though It isn't confirmed yet, getting the Classic Mario and Classic Luigi Suits are really a privilege! My goal in Mario Tennis Aces is to unlock everything in the game. So far, I got: All Default Playable Characters from Mario to Chain Chomp, all of the Monthly Characters, (including Luma), All of Boo's different Visors, and the three alternate Yoshi Colors. Now, I only need the Classic Suits, and I hope Wario & Waluigi get them too. I just hope that the Classic Suits aren't unlocked by rankings, but hopefully by your points! Good Luck on getting them, everybody! And Happy New Year!! 👋😊

@Quarth I'm misspelling Nintendo as a joke, as others have done on this site.

@Shade_Koopa I'm not being cheap. It's just that NSO is seriously lacking in comparison to Xbox Live and PS Plus. If I wanted to spend AU$30, I would use it to support the hungry and homeless. Also, the way you vote is with your wallet. I want this service to go away, but if I buy a membership, it won't. And while we're here, let's go over the "perks" of being a member.

Online Play: The same mediocre Peer-2-Peer service, but now it costs money.
NES Games: I can just go out and buy an NES classic, or better yet, an actual NES.
Cloud Saves: If I buy a membership and my Switch breaks, sure, my 140+ hours of Mario Odyssey will be safe, but all my Splatoon 2 stuff? Gone, because Nitneod's too paranoid of hackers.
Smartphone App: Good gracious, where do I start with the App? For one, I can just use something like Discord instead of a jumbled up App.
Special Offers: "Hey, you wanna spend AU$80 for some NES controllers?" Yeah, no thanks.
TL;DR: This service sucks and you know it.
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing's going to get better. It's not." - Dr. Seuss

@TheAwesomeBowser No one is denying that NSO's perks and features need improvement. Especially if ya compare it to Xbox Live or PS Plus (?). I'm just saying for 20 buck, it suits the basic need.

Online Play: Paying for online play is nothing new. Dedicated servers for console is a recent thing. Xbox 360 and PS3 were still P2P for their games. So why bash Nintendo when they decide to do that now? Would be great to have but I'm having no issues with online with the way it is now. It works fine for me.

Cloud Save: Irrelevant as I find it to be a feature I don't even use. And as for Splatoon 2 and similar games, make sense. Easy to hack a save on the cloud then ya think.

SmartPhone App: Weird and something new. Classic Nintendo. But yeah, it's not great at all. No defending it

Splecial Offer: Just means adds on that ya don't really need. It's there if ya want it. Personal preference if anything else.

Nintendo's focuses are different from Sony and Microsoft. I don't expect a change with them anytime in the near future. So why complain about something that isn't going to happen?

@Shade_Koopa
How many times do I have to teach you this lesson?

I mean really, if you think it 'suits the basic need', you obviously haven't checked out the comments on the overview trailer. Now I know how @Cobalt feels when he/she tries to point something out.

@TheAwesomeBowser yeah, I've seen the comments and agree that it could be better. NSO is not perfect in any sense of the word. I just don't see the point in complaining about something that is isn't going to change. Or at the very least, change anytime soon.

@Shade_Koopa

@Shade_Koopa Now, you can either have the washer and dryer or you can have what's in this box.

@TheAwesomeBowser Or I choose option 3. I pay someone else to do laundry for me. Whatever lesson your trying to teach, it's missing it mark.

Either way, reality is the NSO is here to stay as it is. Whether your pay or not, some one else will. Too many humans in the world for a handful of "votes" saying no to matter.

@Shade_Koopa What if I give you the washer/dryer for free? My point is, NSO is absolutely terrible and something needs to change. @Cobalt Please elaborate on this.

@TheAwesomeBowser If I got them for free, I would be inspecting them for bombs or surveillance equipment. Or asking what the hell the catch is. Nothing in this world is free or worth being free. There is always a price to pay.

And I already said I agree with ya. It does suck and it does need to change. But it's not going to change (least not in this life).

@Shade_Koopa The machines do not have bombs or surveillance equipment. There is no catch. Happy?

@TheAwesomeBowser You can't guarantee that. No, not happy.

As for the song, to much wall of text to bother reading. I'll stick with what's realistic thank you very much. Good luck with the complaining. I'm sure it'll be heard. Well, it be heard but nothing is gonna happen.

@Shade_Koopa Here, you can see for yourself.
Washer:

Dryer:

@Shade_Koopa "Good luck with the complaining. I'm sure it'll be heard. Well, it be heard but nothing is gonna happen." Wow, thanks for the words of encouragement.

@TheAwesomeBowser heha, oh man. You just don't know when to quit. But I guess that's to be expected of hate accounts. Not even willing to acknowledge that is by be your net is the problem. We've all heard of how bad AUS internet can be.
Yes, I went there. ^^
And I'll end here. Gonna of trail in this comment section long enough.

@Shade_Koopa So are you taking the washer/dryer or the box? Also, if you think AUS internet is bad, check out this:

@Shade_Koopa Also, you can't guarantee you went to Australia. Nice try. 🤣😆

Hey @Cobalt help me out here! 😢

Oh, we're finished. Off to a new comment section!

@TheAwesomeBowser LOL, not went there as in actually going to AUS. I mean went there as in pulling out the "geography" card. Heha, oh man. That really went over your head. I had to reply to that. That was just too funny.

@Shade_Koopa

Humor me. Now, stop thinking NSO is a worthy investment when there are far better uses for that AU$30 (cough supporting the homeless cough)

@TheAwesomeBowser I don't believe I said it was. I agree with the things you say (mostly). However, I have money to throw away. So loosing 20 bucks a year is not a big deal.

And no, I won't support the homeless or the hungry. I'm too selfish of a person to care about others. It's human nature after all (A whole another topic that I rather not discuss here. Can we at least agree to that?).

@TheAwesomeBowser Man, I cannot be more than agree with you !

The Online service is just bad, really bad...
It's just a fact and I even don't understand why some people try to transform the reality into something better...

You have my total support on that dude ! ^^

@Cobalt Thank you SO much! Now let's take down this service once and for all! Oh and btw, I gave your comment a like.
@Shade_Koopa Supporting a barebones, disconnection-riddled 'service' over people left without homes, food or water just makes you a greedy dirtbag. Do I make myself clear?

@TheAwesomeBowser @Cobalt Whatever ya guys say. I know NSO is bad. I'm not blind. But I don't care. I'm not gonna complain about it. Not for $20 bucks a year anyway. It allows me and my friends to play online with each other and that's all that matters. The rest is irrelevant.

Also, greed runs the world. Call me whatever ya like, but that's reality. Not everyone is gonna be all nice and helpful. Plenty of other people do that already without getting myself involved. Like you guys. You put a lot of work in "Nintendo" hate. Why ya do is beyond my understanding. But whatever. Each human to their own I guess.

Hey @Cobalt some blind fanboy flagged your comment. Wouldn't take a detective to figure out who did it...

@Shade_Koopa I don't hate Nitneod. I have a Switch and I love it. It's the Online that I hate. If we're going to be stuck with Peer-2-Peer connections, it should at least be free. Remember when Sony was reluctant about cross-play? Look what happened next. The fans requested cross-play, and Sony listened eventually. My point is, companies change their minds all the time. If we can show Nitneod that we don't want to pay for mediocre Peer-2-Peer connections, they'll have to listen eventually.

@TheAwesomeBowser Keyword eventually. By then, the new console will be out. Or I'll be dead. Which ever come first. ^^
But good look trying, least it'll be entertaining to watch such a feeble effort.

@Shade_Koopa If I wanted to play online, I would use the Wii U, which offers save backups for ALL games and online FOR FREE. And sure, maybe the Wii U had Peer-2-Peer connections as well. But at least they didn't charge you AU$30 a year for it. Also, by the time NSO released, everyone was used to free online, which had been a Nintendo selling point since the DS. Another Nintendo staple, this time starting with the Wii, was Virtual Console. This magical service allowed you to play games from NES, SNES, N64 and so many more. In addition, Nintendo offered Classic Edition consoles, one of which even had an unreleased game on it. Now Nitneod's thrown all that away and has given us a sorry excuse of a service, AKA NSO.
And I'll stop there. Feel like I should be ranting in the forum instead of a comment section.
