3 Ways Mario Tennis Aces Can Change the Game
The Nintendo Switch is a great piece of technology that allows you to play both at home on your TV and on the go. But something that’s also really great about the Nintendo Switch are its two detachable joy-con controllers, allowing you to play two player multiplayer wherever you are. No longer will you be stuck watching your older brother play because you only have one Nintendo 64 controller, because the Switch gives you two controllers out of the box. This is perfect for playing some cooperative tennis doubles or some competitive 1-on-1.
Like the previous two games, Mario Tennis Aces will likely have online play, but with the Switch’s paid online service coming later this year, it’s not out of the realm of possibility to see a more fleshed out online mode this time around. A tournament mode would fit right at home in Mario Tennis Aces, and would make that monthly fee feel a little more justified than if we, say, just received the same modes as Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, which were just one-off singles or doubles matches. We’ve seen an online tournament mode in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and something similar would be a perfect fit for Mario Tennis Aces. Let’s hope they put it in!
For a series that has very much stagnated for the last releases, Mario Tennis Aces really looks like its pushing the series forward. I’m happy to say that I am genuinely really excited for a future Mario Tennis game, which is something that I haven’t been able to say for a long time now. I have faith in you, Mario Tennis Aces. Please don’t let me down!
