Coming exclusively to Wii U in Europe on November 20th, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash offers brand new fun for court competitors, including the ability to team up with amiibo. Supported amiibo can be your partner in online doubles matches, or join you to battle strong computer-controlled opponents in the offline Knockout Challenge mode. The more matches your amiibo plays, the more experience it’ll gain, becoming a uniquely powerful team-mate as its abilities increase over time.
New faces like Rosalina also hit the courts, along with returning characters like Luigi, Waluigi, Boo and more for tennis with a distinct Mushroom Kingdom twist. On top of standard shots like topspin, lobs, slices and more, the new Ultra Smash move sees characters leap high into the air and smash the ball down to devastating effect. Adept tennis tacticians can also gain the advantage by hitting the right shot while standing in the coloured Chance Areas that occasionally appear, unleashing super-strong smashes or bamboozling slices to flummox adversaries on the other side of the net.
Using a combination of controllers including the Wii U GamePad, Wii Remote, Wii U Pro Controller and Classic Controller Pro, up to four players can get together in supported modes for lively tennis battles. And with a choice of camera angles, there’ll be no more defeats blamed on having to play on the far side of the court – the TV and GamePad screen can each show a different end of the court, so both teams will always have the perfect view.

Wait, hold on… Does anyone actually care?
I do. I want to get this game but if it didn’t have online that would have been a big deal breaker. I understand it’s not going to be a very deep game but I still think it could be fun especially for multiplayer.
Yeah. The Mario sport games are pretty fun now and again.
& not to mention……NINTENDO has admittedly done a really good job with “adequately priced” to even “FREE” DLC.
Just look at Smash Bros, Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart 8 & especially my favorite out of all: SPLATOON!!!
So if I know NINTENDO MTUS will have future content to push the replay value through the roof!!!
P.S. Just being honest…..if this had NO ONLINE SUPPORT I wouldn’t get it! Thank GOD IT DOES SO I’M RESERVING THIS ONE ASAP!!
Scratch Smash out of that equation because altogether, the DLC costs half, if not the same price or more, the actual game & the bundles don’t even offer any discounts. Scratch Splatoon from it, too, because you actually did pay for some of that DLC as the first month of release before any DLC came along, everyone who bought it then paid 60 bucks for a game that only had 20-25 bucks worth of actual content. And those that did buy it 3 months after release, well they effectively bought the DLC with the game at that point.
Sounds good still worried about the characters automatically moving to the ball like on 3ds. Anybody demoed it yet that can enlighten me on that aspect?
is it me? or i just saw rosalina right eye.
Mariotehplumber made a new video on this and the funny thing is that he mentioned a post I’ve made. It’s only a matter of time until his fanboys start tracking me down.
Run boy run!
Wait. Is that prick following this blog?
No. But he did managed to spy my comment on a YouTube video about the one news he hates (Rosalina in Mario tennis Ultra Smash for GameXplain) before publicizing it.
This guy is either a world class loser, a woman hating chauvinistic pig, or a big fat troll. If he’s the woman hating one, I wonder how long it is before we hear he’s being indicted for being a serial rapist or a woman beating loser. Men that hate women that much are usually one of those two types of so called men.
