That's the sad part, I can see Mario Tennis selling decently on brand name alone, which will send the message to Nintendo that its okay to churn out half-baked tripe.

I sincerely hope not. Fans have the opportunity to send a message with these games, and I hope people don't screwed this up. At least, the Animal Crossing brand name wasn't enough to keep it bombing. I'm waiting the same for Mario Tennis. But, well, let's see what happens next. Opinions on forums and internet are not precisely positive, but that doesn't reflect the general market. 

Yeah, I really want Ultra Trash to flop, but the Mario name may be enough to carry it. Look at Mario Party 10; that game was crap and widely disliked, but it's sold over a million already on brand name.

Well, I don't mind a lot about MP because it's what it is, a filler board game, and it didn't feel so... rushed. True, it's not precisely an awesome  and ambitious game (far away from it), but it has new modes, makes a different use from the game pad, it has more than one board (Mario Tennis only have ONE stadium), different mini-games and it's not a shame compared to the previous ones (arguably, but I think all MP were more or less the same). Mario Tennis is just awful compared to the previous ones. More tematic stadiums, characters, power-ups, a decent online mode... could make a decent and worthy game. But it feels like it take 2 months to do, maximum.
