I mostly picked this game because of the upcoming Switch release, which is being developed by Camelot again. My fingers are crossed that the new one has the same story-mode RPG style elements to it that I loved from the GBC version. The N64 transfer-pak feature is basically built into the Switch already, so I think this could be a real spiritual successor to the original. Do me a favor and add this to the official list at your convenience, Balder. |

Camelot has developed some great games (the Golden Sun series is also theirs), Sega definitely should've treated it better - as I understand, one of the reasons it ditched Sega was because of troubles surrounding how Shining Force 3 was published. |

I liked Mario Tennis enough to give it a 4. I haven't played it for over a decade, but I remember enjoying it as a rental (never owned it). And it was the game that introduced Waluigi.

I never got too into Mario Tennis but did find it to be a fun pick and up play game that I'd play for 30 mins here and there. I've always wanted to try the RPG-like one on GBC but never got around to it.

I like the games. They are pretty fun. I prefer Virtua Tennis any day though. Usually Sega is much better at sports games than Nintendo is.

I'll come back to this thread after I get the new "Aces" game and let you all know if it lives up to the fun I had with Camelot's earlier Mario Tennis games. I don't know how much of the original team is still at that studio, but I guess the people there still feel something for the series to be picking it up again after almost 20 years. I hope it turns out great!

As a game fan and tennis player and former coach, this is one of my favorite games of all time, this is an easy 5 for me. The only tennis game ever that I think is better is Topspin on the original XBox.
