Mario Tennis Aces may be the entry in the series we’ve been wanting for a long time. A new gameplay trailer reveals a ton of details and information.
During Thursday’s new Nintendo Direct, we got a brand-new look at Mario Tennis Aces, which is looking fantastic. We were hoping Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash on the Nintendo Wii U would be the entry in the franchise we’ve been waiting for. Sadly, it wasn’t. On the bright side, Aces will be looking to right those wrongs.
Coming off the disappointing failure of the Nintendo Wii U, the Switch has been breaking records so far. In all honesty, nobody expected it to do as well as it’s doing right now. But Nintendo has never been one to give up on its fans, and it has delivered. The Switch has a phenomenal lineup of games, and Nintendo is continuing to expand it with quality titles.
Before we get into details about the game, check out the new gameplay trailer below:
From what we’ve seen, Aces is a return to form for the series. It’s still the same Mario Tennis game we love. However, it does have some new enhancements, features, and different ways to play the game. For example, each character caters to a different play style, which is interesting since it gives the player variety.
Other than how you play the game, some new features and modes include a story mode, boss battles, and online multiplayer. Something that has truly been lacking is the online functionality. Thankfully, Nintendo is making an effort and Aces is a great game to include this kind of feature.

Finally, there are some new playable characters. Initially, we knew Mario, Luigi, Waluigi and Wario were all playable. Now, we’ve seen new characters such as Donkey Kong, Rosalina and Toad.
Mario Tennis Aces launches on June 22, 2018.
