Following last month’s unveiling of the Special Games mode in Mario Tennis Open, Nintendo has revealed even more details about the upcoming game, which launches exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS on May 20th in North America and May 25th in Europe.
Newly revealed game elements include the following:
- Online Play: Mario Tennis Open players can compete and cooperate in local wireless matches with other opponents and play exhilarating games. Players can also build up their Open Match standings, check the monthly leaderboard and win Victory Medals from every challenger they defeat.
- Ink Showdown: In this fast-paced competition, Piranha Plants spit ink balls from the back edge of the court. Players must destroy the ink balls before they splatter, while hitting tennis balls away from an opponent.
- StreetPass Features: Players can inspire friendly competition by using the Nintendo 3DS system’s StreetPass feature. They can engage in competitive StreetPass Matches or cooperative Ring Shot challenges with computer-controlled versions of people they encounter and share their StreetPass winning streak. StreetPass can also be used to show off players’ Mii characters, which can be customized with new outfits and accessories that can improve their on-court performance. As users play, new items for their Mii will be unlocked in the Item Shop.
- Unlockable Characters: New and familiar Nintendo characters can be unlocked – some through game play, others via special QR Codes. Unlockable characters include Luma, Baby Mario and Dry Bowser.

Really want this game so bad!
wait… do people actually want the same shit over and over? ITS THE SAME GAME AS GAMECUBE WITH LESS FEATURES AND SHIT GRAPHICS nintendo always does the same realises casual shit like merio galaxy and kirby shit and you still buy it…. Grow up videogame industry is dying thanks to nintendo keeps repeating NO innovation, oh no wait in zelda you fly now inestad of a horse SOOOOO CREATIVE :O:O Get a ps3 or Xbox and suport videogame industry with battlefield 3 or codmw3, pricks
yea cause cod is soooo much better. Its fucking mario tenis >>>3D<<< who wouldnt want it?
really? mw3 is innovative?? lmfao. a crack head would tell you to lay off the drugs
shut up dude sereusly
seriously. since cod 4, it’s just been copy and paste with minor updates. u have no idea what you’re talking about
Obvious troll is obvious.
tell me about it.
You again? Boy you must be on dog food. Nintendo is much more innovative. Sony and Microsoft (Sony most of all) just copy what Nintendo starts so they can make more money. If you’re calling Mario Galaxy games casual, you’ve obviously never played a mario galaxy game. I’ve played COD and they are all basically the same thing. Get your head out of your ass and stop being so ignorant.

Reminds me of the n64 Mario tennis love that game!
I’m going to love this game
First… huhuhahahahahaha!
:D [kidding]
But Sickr and forum buddies… WHERE IS LUIGI’S MANSION 2. Can I at least get a release date. SHEESH…!
Did I say you could comment? Finish the blow job youre giving me, then post stupid comments.
Sounds fun.
No, just no. Why would want to bring Baby Mario and Dry Bowser in the roster when all they do is create a time paradox like Metal Mario in MK7 and Dr. Mario and Young Link in Melee?
It’s been well established that time is not a fixed construct.
But Dry Bowser is canonically Bowser according to NSMB, so that right there will cause a time paradox if the two forms co-exist.
Haha! They confused “Baby Mario” for “Baby Peach.” XD
Haha! Looks like you were wrong!
Luma? Yeah! I wonder if that means will get Rosalina?

I want this game in my pockeeeeeet!
So getting this game. Mario Tennis is cool :)
The closer we get to E3, the more trolls are dwelling around here.
Anyways, I thought the game looked good, so I wasn’t really interested in picking it up. Now it is looking interesting. I’ll just wait till it’s available for digital download.
