SeekerMario Tennis Aces
Out on the court, Mario Tennis Aces is an extremely fun arcade tennis experience, colourful and dazzling to look at and smartly balanced in its back-and-forth play. With a little bit more care and depth given to the simple single-player mode and more variety added in the way of character and tournament customisation to give its multiplayer extra spice, Mario Tennis Aces could have been a true all-rounder. As it is, Mario Tennis Aces is still a lot of frantic tennis fun with friends.

It’s about time we had a new Mario Tennis games and Aces is a decent game for the Switch.
Things are a bit overcomplicated at times with all the different shots but you can play in a simple mode if needed and Swing mode provides that classic Wii Sports style motion play.
Adventure mode is back and although it’s a bit tenuous, includes enough interesting bosses and levels to be entertaining.
