>is already forgotten on /v/
What happened? Mario Tennis used to be a /v/ darling.

>>720458979 (OP)
Mario Sports games are not the meal, they're the side dish. And despite the SMB anniversary hype, the only new Mario game being just another sports title is dumb. Even SMB 40 to replace SMB 35 would've generated more interest.

We won't know if it'll be as competitive as Aces until the game actually comes out.

>>720459373
This.
Its a kick in the teeth when you're trying to celebrate Mario's 40th.

This might be a retarded complaint but the grass actually looks distracting as fuck.

They just went HD ULTRA 4K FIDELITY GRASS TEXTURE. And it just looks out of place to me. Also there's too many of these. Another soccer game and another golf game and maybe the return of Sonic Olympics. It's just the same old shit. I hope people are sick of these and they flop to be honest.

They skipped over baseball :/

>>720458979 (OP)
Aces was giga kino gameplay-wise and I hope they didn't feel the need to casualize it one bit.

Story mode with the babies looks fun but I hope it's properly fleshed out and not half-assed like Mario Golf Super Rush's.

>>720459754
Each game has been selling less and less. They need to stop shitting them out and actually try

>>720458979 (OP)
>big roster and a story mode
cool!
>half of it is babies and the story mode is entirely babies
gay!

>>720458979 (OP)
That is because the last mario tennis game sucked ass, but this one does look good.

>>720459754
I'm more distracted by the horrible fucking camera angle. Hopefully it's only for the shitty swing mode.

It did? When

>>720458979 (OP)
I feel like the Switch one just came out. Should’ve mixed it up with baseball or basketball.

>>720458979 (OP)
the last mario tennis FUCKING SUCKED

same goes for golf and strikers. these kikes forgot how to make a fun sports game

>adventure mode
Nice. It's been missing since the fucking gameboy and was easily the best thing about any of these games.

>actual big roster without needing updates
>actual stadiums that reference other games instead of generic ones
>actual singleplayer modes aside from the adventure mode
are we back?

>>720460397
GameBoy one had OCs. This is just you literally playing as babies. It’s going to be disappointing as fuck.

>>720460302
the last THREE mario tennis games have sucked, i don't know how anyone could possibly be interested in this one

>>720458979 (OP)
Oh Brother this is probably going to be just as shit as the other NuMario Sports titles.

>>720458979 (OP)
How has this series remained alive despite not having a single good entry since the GameCube one?

Baby Waluigi Real

>>720460520
>>720460302
>>720460596
Aces has the best gameplay in the series

>>720460010
Mario Tennis Aces is the best-selling Mario Tennis by over 2 million copies compared to the next one.

After the Switch era of spinoffs I need to be shown it's not a dripfed game (and also that the gameplay's as solid as Aces).
Also babies suck.

>>720460839
Well, it has more characters at launch than Aces post-updates for starters.

>>720458979 (OP)
My wife Toadette made it in so it is worth it

It said 38 playable characters, so if all 30 characters from Mario Tennis Aces return, plus the 5 Babies, that's 3 spots for who knows who.

This game will probably only be remembered for Baby Waluigi. I actually liked Aces but I really see nothing in this new one that really says I should get it.

Where is Mario Superstar Baseball?

I'm surprised they completely skipped Mario Baseball this generation. Don't nips and americans play baseball anymore?

>>720458979 (OP)
These games became shovelware, that's why.

>>720461879
There's a whole community online still playing MSB even and even in real life
What's going on with Nintendo
Give the people what they want

>>720458979 (OP)
there's already a switch 1 mario tennis game and its blatantly unfinished

considering all the switch 2 version shit, it sucks they just made a new game

Why dont they do something new like Mario Hockey or Mario American Football? Or another Mario Basketball. Last one was on DS like what... 18 years ago?

>>720462676
>Mario American Football?
Like the eye shield DS game would be fucking amazing

Look it up if you haven't seen it before

>>720462829
Eyeshield 21*

>>720461278
38 in the base game, i dont think aces had that many

>my bro Petey is in
neat, but do I really give a fuck about purchasing this game?

>>720458979 (OP)
>still no proper RPG mode
GBA was the last entry for me

They no longer know how to make quality Mario sports games

SHOULDVE BEEN BASEBALL

ALSO RIP GOLDEN SUN

>>720458979 (OP)
>Another Mario Spinoff

Oh wow, it's not like the Switch didn't have enough of these. Make something fucking new. I'm sick of seeing this fat fuck at this point. We don't need 6 billion spin offs

>>720460302
>>720460520
Aces is the best Mario Tennis game ever.
Power Tennis can't fucking touch the gameplay of Aces.

>>720460302
You gotta be retarded or something. The last Mario Tennis was arguably one of the very best.

I don't trust new Mario sports games anymore. Strikers, Tennis, and Golf went to shit.

I don't understand how Mario Tennis Aces is so divisive?? I got it recently and it's great.

>>720463610
Good gameplay, no content (on release).
The reason why it still contests the simple Power Tennis are the latter's fun minigames and maps.

Tennis Aces was fantastic by the time it got all of its DLC and was the most content rich game in the series and this looks even better.

>>720463610
Half the roster, the Boo, Yoshi and Shy Guy minigames and the postgame world in the adventure mode were added in updates after launch. Most egregiously so was the full intro CG, originally the game shipped with only parts of it CG and the rest using gameplay footage. But I agree that the post-update package is great, it can't be compared with Golf and Strikers.

>>720461278
>they're literally going to waste five slots on babies

>try to find a doubles match
The only way a tennis game will not be dead after a month is if you make it free to play and cross-platform. This game is dead on arrival.

>>720458979 (OP)
More like Mario Feces

>>720458979 (OP)
Do mariofags ever get tired of the constant stream of low effort spinoffs? This legit just looks like an asset flip of the last game.

>>720458979 (OP)
We want the RPG modes the GB and GBA games had. Shit was like a sports anime with training arcs, rivalries, and tournament arcs.

>>720458979 (OP)
I need to get my hands on a Mario Tennis to judge if its good or not. Aces was middle of the road as far as mechanics go and none of the games can hold a candle to 64 in terms of depth of play.
>>720460680
Power Tennis is the worst game in the series by a lot. It is impossible to score if both players are remotely competent at the game because of how slowly the ball moves and how weak the angles you can hit the ball are.

>>720468795
they won't let Camelot make kino like that ever again...

>>720458979 (OP)
>>720458979 (OP)
>>720458979 (OP)
Why isn’t it releasing in the Switch?

It looks exactly like Aces

>>720463453
It had good ideas but the courts were all uninspired and the RPG mode was anemic. Mario Tennis on GBA has a godtier single player mode. I sold Aces because yeah it was fun, but I don't even remember if it had online and I only ever really played it with a friend.
A lot of my friends are golf fags so I am looking forward to the next Mario Golf.

>>720458979 (OP)
I played Aces recently as my first Mario Tennis since the Gamecube and it was awful. It barely even feels like a Tennis game with all of the meters and extra bullshit that they piled on top of it. I couldn't believe what they had done to the series since the first two games were pretty good.

>>720459940
>Defensive techniques are now generic dives anyone can do
>Offensive techniques are now "fevers" determined by the racket
Seems like they took Aces and separated the specials from the characters so you can mix your favorite special shot with your favorite character. Plus if they keep the racket durability system it'd be possible to lose a special over the course of the match because the associated racket broke.

Huh?

>>720472292
Do you really have to ask?

>>720472374
8 years for this

>>720463610
Way too many mechanics and stupid bullshit for what is supposed to be a tennis game. It really feels like they didn't even want to make a tennis game

>>720468795
This game had my most pathetic fap.

>>720472918
I think they turned it into a fighting game to force close matches to end after a while. I had fun with it but yeah all the slow-mo and meter management was probably too extra for most people

>>720472782
yes irl tennis has a very high skill floor before you get to have fun. it's why paddle is so popular now, much easier to pick up

>>720474012
>they turned it into a fighting game
I've heard people say that about Aces before. The funny thing is that I like fighting games, and I certainly like them far more than tennis games, but that's just not what I'm looking for when I play Mario Tennis. It's really not supposed to be that serious

>>720472390
>>I am looking forward to the next Mario Golf
>When the last golf game was super rush
No you’re not

>>720474932
If Fever is any indication, they learnt their lesson and are finally taking interesting shit like incorporating other Mario games like Wonder into the gameplay

>>720474932
It's golf. I am buying it to play with friends drunk, not to fucking tee off by myself like a fag lol

>>720476015
but you already sound like a fag

>>720458979 (OP)
I dont know why Nintedo has this fixation with tennis and golf, it's not like these sports are that popular or important in real life.
They only Mario sports spin off im interesrted is Strikers. Sadly, the last Mario strikers was so dissapointing it might have killed the series. Wish they tried another sports, maybe something like some sort of martial art or wrestling or whatever that resembles a combat

looks fun. I like the stage hazards and golf racket variety. But tis gonna get Meta'd instantly on release by poopsocks and tryhards

>>720460302
super rush kicked ass, sorry you hate fun

>>720461278
This is considered the main cast of Mario.
Kamek will likely make it.
Maybe a brand new story character
WaPeach

>>720472897
This is standard for many sports games. Look at Fifa, PGA Golf, Madden or any other yearly instalment. At least with this setup the devs can afford more time into a story.

>>720478024
>Paratroopa
Bros...

>>720458979 (OP)
The last few Mario Sports games haven't been the same as the N64-Wii era ones.
The game would need to prove to me its worth picking up instead of just replaying N64 Mario Tennis and Power Tennis.

This will go the route of the other Mario sports games released on Switch. It will be played for a while but due to lack of cotnent and support people will drop it quick and it will become a forgotten game.

last one sucked major ass and I still have PTSD from that. This one doesn't look too bad

I'm also glad they kept paulines tiddies fat and plump for this one

>>720477286
>Sadly, the last Mario strikers was so dissapointing it might have killed the series
So why would you want another?
>>720477680
Kicked so much ass it was forgotten after launch and was forced to go on sale

dont care, still play it with my buddies

>>720473024
Tell me more

>>720476994
my mommy-gf disagrees

>>720479846
the last good Mario tennis was the gamecube one, and yet the series is still alive after 3 shit games. Strikers deserve another chance

>>720480540
Mario Cricket when?

>>720458979 (OP)
I'm going to be real, I didn't give a fuck about this and initially I thought it was just the switch 1 game again. Don't know what they were thinking with baby adventure mode.

I feel like rugby has to be (wrongly) including American football because this is the only other chart I can find and it doesn’t have rugby on it at all. The only people who play or watch or follow rugby are Australians

Nah

>>720481543
Not American. Every other country in the world hates yours Rajesh, keep coping.

>>720481752
Nope.

And anyway, Rugby is huge in NZ, Australia, England, Ireland, France, Wales, Scottland, Japan, South Efrica, Argentina and the various Island natons.

>>720481824
What the fuck are you talking about, the rules of baseball are so simple 8 year olds play it. It’s as complex as basketball or soccer.

>>720481953
>France's most recent 2023 World Cup saw over 800 Million TV views. Rugby’s passionate following, thrilling matches, and historic rivalries continue to make it one of the most beloved sports in the world. As of February 2025, it is estimated that over 475 million people watch and follow the sport.

>>720481953
>NZ, Australia, England, Ireland, France, Wales, Scottland, Japan, South Efrica, Argentina
The combined population of those counties is less than 225 million people, that number is just wrong.

>>720482043
What exactly is a baulk, kind Anon?

The rules of baseball have a million exception clauses and are so stupid and so specific that the players regularly forget them and get them wrong. Shit like the Infield Fly rule, the touchback rule, or the changes they made to foul balls are the exact opposite of "simple and obvious."

Cricket has a few of those too, but it's nowhere near as bad as Baseball or American Football. Soccer is utterly incomparable, the only weird case rule is the offside rule.

Too many stupid gimmicks, N64 was best because it was simple with an optional item mode.

Yes, you can turn them off but the game is still built around them.

>The Rugby World Cup is the third largest sporting event in the world, behind only the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics
>Reports emanating from World Rugby and its business partners have frequently touted the tournament's media growth, with cumulative worldwide television audiences of 300 million for the inaugural 1987 tournament, 1.75 billion in 1991, 2.67 billion in 1995, 3 billion in 1999, 3.5 billion in 2003, and 4 billion in 2007.

It looks like a Switch 1 game but it's Switch 2 exclusive and costs $70. Nintendo has lost the plot.
