Mario Tennis Aces is certainly a step in the right direction for the series. A short story mode, weird enemy difficulty scaling and lack of single player options keep it from being worth the full price game it’s being sold for. With that being said; fantastic gameplay, a great roster, and decent online functionality make this definitely one of the best iterations in the series.

If you're one of the die hard fans of Mario and his adventures, this is your game without any doubt. Mario Tennis Aces is one of those games that you could go for it anytime and you wouldn't miss a thing if you don't buy it either.

Mario Tennis Aces is a fun game if you’re picking this up solely to play with friends or to jump into the online multiplayer. If that’s what you’re looking for, this will be a great addition to your Switch library. I highly recommend skipping the title if you just want it for a single player experience, as you won’t be getting the full experience and will feel slightly disappointed.

While the story mode was completely disappointing considering it was one of the more unique aspects in the game, the fact that the actual tennis is so deep more than makes up for that mishap.

It's not a masterpiece by any means but it's a firm step in the right direction for Mario sports games.

Mario Tennis Aces is ultimately a solid party game whose weak spots mainly lie in the peripheral areas like the campaign, swing mode, and fairly limited customization. The core gameplay is enjoyable and takes center stage in the addictive, fun multiplayer modes.

It's-a back? Mario Tennis Aces on the Switch gets the series back on the right track after the less than stellar Ultra Smash for the Wii U. It admittedly has issues with balance and the campaign could be more fleshed out. Fun features, however, combined with solid base mechanics, a nice roster list and Nintendo's efforts to patch and address problems post-launch make Aces a worthy addition to Nintendo's tennis franchise. Series fans will definitely want to check it out.

Mario Tennis Aces features excellent gameplay, a solid single-player mode, and a lot of fun characters, but its at its bets in multi-player. There are some annoying issues, but even at its worst, Aces holds serve.

Mario Tennis Aces is a fine addition to the series and a far cry from the bare-bones offering from the Wii U. The single player mode offers up plenty for solo players while the online and local play will keep me coming back.

Mario Tennis Aces is the best Mario Tennis game in over a decade, despite a few hard-to-forgive problems.

This is one of the better multiplayer offerings on the Nintendo Switch. It doesn't have much appeal solely as a single-player game since there is a lack of content with the short Adventure and Tournament mode, outside from that, it is still plenty of fun if you want to get it as a party game to play together with friends.

Despite all of its glaring short comings, Mario Tennis Aces is close to something great. If the core gameplay was balanced, it would earn a 4/5 despite a lackluster single player campaign and terrible UI. Future updates could make the game great, but right now Aces is like a talented professional too lazy to put in the work needed to crack the Top 30.

Mario Tennis Aces isn't a terrible game, but is a forgettable one. Online doesn't work consistently, Adventure mode is pretty boring and uninspired, and there is a smattering of content. The game just lacks the heart that Nintendo titles have, and this leaves us with a bland and forgettable game that doesn't do anything interesting. It's not bad if you are just looking to get some friends or family together to play a few matches, but don't expect the appeal to last much further than that.

Not quite an ace, but a respectable new addition to the series, multiplayer mayhem saves a disappointing single-player mode.

This is a safe bet for those who want to enjoy an arcade sport video game this summer, with the security of having hours and hours of fun with friends, whether accompanied with them in the same room or in the distance. In addition, the diversity of characters with very different characteristics from each other make each type of player can find the game that best suits you, with the assurance that there is no inequality between them and that everything depends on our ability. A game that can be enjoyed both alone but that will fully enjoy its multiplayer side.
