Mario Tennis Aces Reviews
Mario Tennis Aces may have you bashing your head against the wall but Nintendo brings another great game to the Switch. Adventure Mode is a bit underwhelming; despite its infuriating difficulty spike, the story can be completed in just a few hours. Adventure Mode and COM Tournament mode are great precursors to the real highlight, the online tournaments. Going in, I did not think I'd be getting this incredibly enjoyable hyper-competitive experience. Playing people online is addicting giving you that “one more match” mentality that will keep you playing for hours. Mario Tennis Aces is the tennis game we've been waiting for.
Mario Tennis Aces has fantastic gameplay held back by barebones content and not much customization. While the Adventure Mode is entertaining and full of unique challenges, the other modes are quite dull.
Mario Tennis Aces doesn't quite excel in all of the ways that it could have, but the core mechanics and multiplayer action are so good, it's still worth diving in for some quality Mario Tennis action.
"Mario Tennis Aces" is the first sports game since, well, "Mario Kart 8" that's captivated me.
Right from the start, Mario Tennis Aces, the eighth installment in the Mario Tennis series, feels inadequate.
A great return for one of the most beloved sports franchises. Mario Tennis Aces have a great single player mode and a functional online multiplayer mode.

Mario Tennis Aces is the best sports game for Nintendo Switch, offering enough in-depth action to keep you swinging.
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 is the latest multiplayer offering from Nintendo on Switch but is worth the price of admission?
Mario Tennis Aces is without doubt the best tennis game to come out in the last five years. It's another must have game for Switch and a testament to how this console allows games to excel both in front of the TV and on the go.
It's the best of Mario Tennis and Wii Sports motion tennis rolled into one game, but in distinct and very seperate modes, it just lacks one thing: being able to play a proper set of tennis.
Things do pick up once the matches get serious. The variations in each level are a great change of pace, and cycling through the power moves and special shots can be really satisfying once you built up the dexterity and reflexes to pull them off. It's just such a shame that you have to skip through so much of the game just to play it. When I actually get to play Mario Tennis Aces, I really enjoy it. But it lacks the luster of that high quality Nintendo shine.
Not quite an ace, but a respectable new addition to the series, multiplayer mayhem saves a disappointing single-player mode.
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 is an important title for the Nintendo line-up. A new and fresh game able to transmit the philosophy of Switch in an solid and funny way. Too bad for a series of single player variants a little disappointing.

Mario’s latest tennis event sports pitch-perfect gameplay that’s only let down by a barebones feature set
And it was in my second ship battle with the inky Blooper that frustration began to set in, because he was bloody near on impossible to beat.
Mario Tennis Aces is a thrilling magic tennis game which feels like a combat game because of the energy gauge management and K.O. rule. It features easy to learn but hard to master, and is friendly to both newcomers and experienced players. What's more, it's extremely fun when you play with friends. The biggest issue of the game is lacking in the variety of multiplayer gameplay while the Online Tournament is the only valuable multiplayer mode, as well as the competition might be too intense for newcomers.

With Mario Tennis Aces, Nintendo has delivered a worthy successor to the N64 original.
Overall, Mario Tennis Aces just feels lacking in ever sense of the world. Lacking real tennis rules, basic quality of life options, series staple characters, and really any personality at all.
