Top 5 Best Selling Nintendo Switch Games of 2018
3. Mario Tennis Aces
Trick-shotting and slicing its way to victory, Mario Tennis Aces sold an impressive 2.16 million units plus last year. Featuring wacky court locations, new mechanics and a racket-wielding Chain Chomp chasing its dreams in the roster, Aces brought a lot to the table.
A new Zone Shot offered pin precision targeting on volleys, motion controls aiding your return as you send shots back with the force of a thousand Rafael Nadals.
A new KO mechanic, boosted by using defensive trick shots, was also in play in each character’s racket, able to be broken with a well-timed return.
Sending your rival hurtling and lurching across the turf is how you wage war on the court, each character’s playstyle influencing the kind of game you play.
From the reality-defying curves of Boo’s shots, to the impenetrable defense of Waluigi’s lanky frame, each held unique ways of making you rage online.
Competing in online tourneys earned players new character like beloved underling Koopa Troopa, with more added to the mix like Boom Boom and Pauline.
Other updates worked to remedy fan complaints, like removing that darn mast in the Savage Sea court and evening out online match-ups between players, with more to come.
