Game of the Month for June 2018: Mario Tennis Aces
Read the Review!
Editor in Chief Ed McGlone: Despite wanting to throw my Joy-cons out the window on a number of occasions (I’m looking at you Blooper), Mario Tennis Aces by and large is a blast throughout. Most importantly, it’s a well constructed games with a wide variety of characters, game modes, and control schemes to choose from. There’s a sizable enough (for a Tennis game anyway) campaign to play through in Adventure Mode, addictive competitively online monthly tournaments with participation prizes, and plenty of ways to play offline with friends.
That last one is where Mario Tennis Aces truly shines. It is best played with others, and provided you don’t hate tennis, I find it hard to believe that a group of friends playing together won’t end up looking like a commercial for the game. You can play singles or doubles, play with the new features such as crazy Special Shots that use an energy bar, or just play a classic simplified version, or even opt for motion controls if you want.
There’s so many ways to enjoy Mario Tennis Aces, and that makes it easy to recommend to anyone that has a Nintendo Switch.
