The Mushroom Kingdom has hosted tennis tournaments before, but never one as explosive as this one. The wild multiplayer action of the smash Nintendo 64 hit, Mario Tennis, returns with even more powerful shots and new, character-specific power-ups guaranteed to make for the craziest matches ever! Instead of just striking a ball back and forth, opponents in Mario Tennis will launch flaming volleys and slam hits with oversized mallets. Gamers play amidst all-new courts and obstacles, as well as some new characters and game modes. For example, you now get to play in the courts of Luigi's Mansion and below the packed stadiums of Peach Dome. Each court brings its own set of challenges. Each character also boasts his/her own set of moves, and each of them fitting the personality of its respective character.
Mario Tennis 64 is my favorite tennis game of all time. Underneath its giga-cute presentation is an extremely diverse game that's surprisingly realistic. The movement was certainly float-y, but the various ways you could hit the ball and the different angles you get with various positioning really impressed me. Plus, I just had a blast kicking the crap out of Mario, Luigi, Peach, and the gang with my powered-up Shy Guy. Mario Power Tennis builds on the groundwork laid down by its fantastic predecessor, but has a much different feel due to numerous additions that make it more of an arcade game and negate the sim aspects. It's great fun -- particularly multiplayer games -- for Cube gamers whether they're into the sport or not. Read More »
