Still nothing. It can't possibly take this long to give the game 10/10 after they see Waluigi.

75-ish. Because it's a tennis game, reviewers will score it lower no matter how good it might be.

But it's also a Nintendo game, so there will be a lot of internal struggling.

The last 2 Mario tennis games have got below 70.

Because you couldn't break your rackets. Critics love Nintendo games where things break that previously didn't.

Thinking this could be 80+.

Sitting at 79 average on Metacritic. Single-player mode doesn't sound very substantial and the new mechanics are a bit divisive, but it's a big improvement on recent Mario spin-offs from Camelot.

"Days after the credits rolled, I still crave the satisfying thwack from a Power Shot, and I mentally replay matches and imagine how I might do things differently given a bit more focus and knowhow. Mario Tennis Aces does what this series has done best, and improves what it's rarely gotten right prior. Fingers crossed that the online support stands up to the rest of the game after launch."

GameSpot seems to nail how I was planning on playing this game. The adventure mode as an advanced tutorial and then a hardcore multiplayer game.

Seems Nintendo botched the local multiplayer (no stage select? Wtf) but hopefully the online is up to par (I can't believe I have to hope for this, but I hope I can play against friends).

75

The game will be good if its a step above ultra and saves stats.
