Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

[GBA]

GameXplain had footage of the main menu in this video.

- No Tournament mode
- No Ring Shot mode
- No options menu (WTF?)
- No gimmick courts or unlockable courts
- The renders on the character select screen are final
- Not only does the game not have an opening CGI cutscene, but it doesn't have an opening period; it just abruptly starts

"Calling it Mario Tennis is almost giving it too much credit."

why cant i get my worthy successor to power tennis ;-;

;-;

not really interested anymore, sadly
i didn't think they could make a tennis game more barebones than mto but i was wrong
the drought they've got for the holiday season must've hit them hard

What. The. Flying. Humps.

Even at $40, this game is overpriced.

You can't even turn off the flipping music that means, and if there is one thing I look forward to in a Mario Tennis/Golf game, it's turning off the music, as strange as I a,. We didn't have that in Tennis Open, but we did in Mario Golf World Tour (if I recall correctly).

Why is Tennis getting the shaft compared to golf?

also

>a negative review by gamexplain

that's a thing

the game sucks.

i mean if anything this game is convincing me to buy mario golf world tour because it's apparently really good with it's dlc and story(?) mode (i haven't really looked at the game much so idk if that's the right way to describe it). it certainly seems far better than Mario Tennis Open and what Ultra Smash is turning out to be

mto really burned me out on mario sports games tbh

I loved Open though, I wasted a bunch of time on it.

Looks like Ultra Smash is also nixing the records menu, which stinks butt

 

[Stargazing]

I gave Open to my brother. I might buy this because my family will be "oh look, Mario Tennis" and I'll be "yeah sure", even though Canada's dollar is still in the gutter.

rip waaaa shenanigans

 

[freakworld]

if gamexplain says

this game was just made to fulfill the expectations costumers have at a full price wii u game (gamepad supports, split screen with both gamepad and tv, multiplayer, online, amiibo, hd, mario)

then its legit bad

because that guy's overrating a lot of stuff

I miss trophy cutscenes and the outtakes.

the gcn and wii were like the best era for mario spin-offs

 

[Dr. Peach]

the gcn and wii were like the best era for mario spin-offs

I totally agree with this one.

At least Mario Kart is still going strong.

Maybe Bandai Namco should do more with Mario.
