If you picked up Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash when it launched yesterday, you may have noticed a surprise waiting for you. An update was released just in time for the game’s launch, bringing it to version 1.0.1. According to Nintendo, the update is simply to make adjustments that provide “a more pleasant gaming experience.” For those of you who purchased the game, can you confirm this pleasant experience?
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Has A Day One Update

Only way they can save this game is if they pull a Splatoon but even then I hope that this doesn’t become a trend with Nintendo.
Be careful what you hope Nintendo doesn’t do because they have a tendency of doing exactly what you don’t want them to do.
“A more pleasant gaming experience”, which you could’ve done by actually putting things to do in the game.
One of the few reasons that I kind of prefer Smash Brawl to Smash U (in terms of single player) is that there’s plenty of replayability in being able to unlock all the characters in many different ways and everything. In Smash Wii U, there’s much, much fewer characters /stages to unlock and it feels like much less challenges (or at least less rewarding challenges).
The actual challenges are great, though. The only thing that feels like a step back from Brawl is the lack of a history mode and boss rush (although I don’t really like the boss rush).
“a more pleasant gaming experience.” bitch please. You can’t improve trash.
You mean sprinkle a turd.
It’s been fun so far, but it doesn’t take long to unlock everything and, after that, most of the replay value comes in playing against other people.
I’d like to hear what people have to say on it. I preordered through Amazon back in October and got an email the other day that my copy wouldn’t arrive until January, so I have to cancel it and pick up the game elsewhere
So now Nintendo does day-one patches?
prob balance changes
i got the update already
This gives me some hope that it’ll get more content in the future, and maybe they can patch in Friend matches too.
What so many saw as a great thing about Splatoon will soon become a curse as future games like Splatoon & Mario Tennis are released unfinished at $60 bucks with small updates every week or few weeks that adds a little something to the game over the next 3-9 months. Better hope the development team doesn’t go under before they release enough updates to make the game truly worth 60 bucks. Otherwise, you just got scammed out of 40 bucks.
