i heard the online is abysmal.

at this point I just wish they just do HD remakes of the gbc/gba mario tennis games instead of make new mario tennis games

of course the online is abysmal, its a nintendo game.
---

They spent so long trying to make the game different that they forgot to make it good.
---

Supposedly the mechanics are solid, everything else isn't.
---

It's an enhanced port of the Wii U version which was already bad, what did people think was gonna happen
---

I heard its mechanics and for couch multiplayer its good. Just very bare bones since the story and online are supposedly weak.

Apparently you can't change the stage or match length yourself either

Nintendo again telling us they know best
---

So the gamecube game is still the GOAT then

N64 = GBC > Gamecube

Not sure about GBA

Gamecube was great but had those dumb power moves that messed with pace

the mario tennis board is also saying that you cant play doubles with a friend online unless its against another set of friends.

I'm still liking it. I don't care about the single player at all, glad it's shorter, and my main gripe is no ranked online.

Nintendo should really just stop bothering with multiplayer all around

Avantgarde... it plays nothing like the Wii U version lol. And you can choose your stage by just selecting choose your stage.

Listen, the game's got problems, but it's none of your fucking business if you don't own it or never planned to buy it. It just comes across as petty

For me, I wish they'd clarify on the trick shots. I can't really tell when it does the slow mo or when it doesn't, and the range of the trick shot is a bit vague. Kinda wished they had to aiming thing in the tutorial all the time

The hell are yall on? The game kicks ass

Actually I have it preordered and I haven't gotten around to picking it up yet, so how about you shut the fuck up and stop projecting

I played the demo too and if the online multiplayer is as shit in the final version as it was there I might as well cancel

Bring back Academy from the handhelds already. That's what people want.

If you played the demo, you wouldn't be saying it's a freaking Wii U port dude. And you were already talking as if you owned it dumbass. You were literally spreading wrong information. Shut up if you've got nothing better to say

They literally admitted to taking just about everything from the Wii U version and adding some new mechanics to it, their words not mine

A baffling oversight is that Mario Tennis Aces doesnt allow players to directly choose which court they want to play on. A stage select feature is common in games like this, but that system works differently in Mario Tennis Aces. The game randomly chooses from the seven available courts, with the player able to deselect courts they dont like. The only way to play in a specific arena is to manually disable all the other ones, which is a much more annoying setup than a simple stage select feature.

The stage stuff off of this article, obviously I haven't played it so either they're wrong or you're right, but either way you're getting your feelings hurt for nothing

Now say one more abrasive than thing because I'm hurting poor widdle Nintendo and I'll continue this conversation without you

No yeah that article is 100% accurate.

You can't select a stage in local/online multiplayer.

The game automatically selects a stage for you from a pool of courts you've unlocked. The most you can do is go into "Customize Stage" and then toggle on and off individual ones, leaving on just the one you want. But if you want a different one, you need to go all the way back into that submenu to toggle it on and the others off.
Hell, it doesn't even fucking save your settings. So you have to toggle every court off every single time you start a match.
