>is already forgotten on /v/What happened? Mario Tennis used to be a /v/ darling.
>>720458979Mario 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.
>>720459373This.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 :/
>>720458979Aces 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.
>>720459754Each game has been selling less and less. They need to stop shitting them out and actually try
>>720458979>big roster and a story modecool!>half of it is babies and the story mode is entirely babiesgay!
>>720458979That is because the last mario tennis game sucked ass, but this one does look good.
>>720459754I'm more distracted by the horrible fucking camera angle. Hopefully it's only for the shitty swing mode.
It did? When
>>720458979I feel like the Switch one just came out. Should’ve mixed it up with baseball or basketball.
>>720458979the last mario tennis FUCKING SUCKEDsame goes for golf and strikers. these kikes forgot how to make a fun sports game
>adventure modeNice. 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 modeare we back?
>>720460397GameBoy one had OCs. This is just you literally playing as babies. It’s going to be disappointing as fuck.
>>720460302the last THREE mario tennis games have sucked, i don't know how anyone could possibly be interested in this one
>>720458979Oh Brother this is probably going to be just as shit as the other NuMario Sports titles.
>>720458979How has this series remained alive despite not having a single good entry since the GameCube one?
Baby Waluigi Real
>>720460520>>720460302>>720460596Aces has the best gameplay in the series
>>720460010Mario 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.
>>720460839Well, it has more characters at launch than Aces post-updates for starters.
>>720458979My 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?
>>720458979These games became shovelware, that's why.
>>720461879There's a whole community online still playing MSB even and even in real lifeWhat's going on with NintendoGive the people what they want
>>720458979there's already a switch 1 mario tennis game and its blatantly unfinishedconsidering 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 amazingLook it up if you haven't seen it before
>>720462829Eyeshield 21*
>>72046127838 in the base game, i dont think aces had that many
>my bro Petey is inneat, but do I really give a fuck about purchasing this game?
>>720458979>still no proper RPG modeGBA was the last entry for me
They no longer know how to make quality Mario sports games
SHOULDVE BEEN BASEBALLALSO RIP GOLDEN SUN
>>720461140You cannot fuck a Fungi Mushroom Girl, she’ll break
>>720458979>Another Mario SpinoffOh 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>>720460520Aces is the best Mario Tennis game ever.Power Tennis can't fucking touch the gameplay of Aces.
>>720460302You 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.
>>720463610Good 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.
>>720463610Half 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>probably going to add young pauline tookill me now
>we got to see baby waluigi for the first timeWhat a timeline.
>>720463076IKTFB>>720464212
>no upskirts
>>720464552In tennis?
>try to find a doubles matchThe 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.
>>720458979More like Mario Feces
>>720458979Do mariofags ever get tired of the constant stream of low effort spinoffs? This legit just looks like an asset flip of the last game.
>>720458979We want the RPG modes the GB and GBA games had. Shit was like a sports anime with training arcs, rivalries, and tournament arcs.
>>720458979I 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.>>720460680Power 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.
>>720468795they won't let Camelot make kino like that ever again...
>>720458979>>720458979>>720458979Why isn’t it releasing in the Switch?
It looks exactly like Aces
>>720463453It 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.
>>720458979I 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 racketSeems 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.
>>720458979>>720458979>>720458979>try to play tennis in real life>I can’t hit the ballHuh?
>>720472292Do you really have to ask?
>>7204723748 years for this
>>720463610Way 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
>>720468795This game had my most pathetic fap.
>>720472918I 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
>>720472782yes 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 gameI'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 rushNo you’re not
>>720474932If Fever is any indication, they learnt their lesson and are finally taking interesting shit like incorporating other Mario games like Wonder into the gameplay
>>720474932It's golf. I am buying it to play with friends drunk, not to fucking tee off by myself like a fag lol
>>720476015but you already sound like a fag
>>720458979I 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
>>720460302super rush kicked ass, sorry you hate fun
>>720461278This is considered the main cast of Mario. Kamek will likely make it. Maybe a brand new story characterWaPeach
>>720472897This 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>ParatroopaBros...
>>720458979The 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 seriesSo why would you want another?>>720477680Kicked so much ass it was forgotten after launch and was forced to go on sale
>>720479846>but but the sales numbers!!!dont care, still play it with my buddies
>>720473024Tell me more
>>720476994my mommy-gf disagrees
>>720462676
>>720479846the last good Mario tennis was the gamecube one, and yet the series is still alive after 3 shit games. Strikers deserve another chance
>>720480540Mario Cricket when?
>>720458979I'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.
>>720480670SAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR
>>720480670>ODI>Mario needs 6 runs to tie>Last ball of the final over>Wario does an underarm bowl
>>720480540>cricket is more popular than all burgerland nigger sports
>>720472374Which was an asset flip of ultra smash
>>720458979Was totally mid about it, but adventure looks kino.
>>720480936gee, I wonder if it has anything to do with india playing it, retard
>>720480989Meanwhile Baseball and Basketball only make it on the list because of Asia
>asset flip of an asset flip>BUT THIS TIME WE HAVE 4 MORE CHARACTERS>LOOK STORY MODE>implying Aces didn't fumble that toonot falling for it again
>>720458979The babies killed it for me. Never liked those stupid fucks in doubledash and I don't like them now.
>>720481091not my fault europoors cant appreciate kino
>>720480540>real football at no. 1>burger "football" nowhere to be seenSSSSSSSIIIIIIIUUUUUUUU
>>720480936More popular in the literal third world where they breed like rats, shocking.
>>720480989>>720481273>seething amerimutts
>>720481264I 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
>>720481202>Cricket but worse>With wildly inconsistent rules that even the players don't understandNah
>>720481543Not American. Every other country in the world hates yours Rajesh, keep coping.
>>720481752Nope.And anyway, Rugby is huge in NZ, Australia, England, Ireland, France, Wales, Scottland, Japan, South Efrica, Argentina and the various Island natons.
>>720481824What 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.
>>720461140she looks like the nintendo version of greta thunberg
>>720481953>NZ, Australia, England, Ireland, France, Wales, Scottland, Japan, South Efrica, ArgentinaThe combined population of those counties is less than 225 million people, that number is just wrong.
>>720482043What 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.
>>720482375>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.
