Yea, I remember playing the GC version.  The special moves were cool at first but then it just got ridiculous.  Luckily, they had option to turn it off which made it a pretty version of the 64 version.

To be fair selecting courts in tennis match is the least important thing you can do in a tennis video game.  It isn't like this is golf.  Sure there is a difference between clay, grass, carpet, and hard courts (most tennis video games you can't tell differences even with different surfaces).  However, the main action is on the court which the stadiums probably only come into main view at start and maybe side changes.  I'm just saying you guys are overreacting.  It is a dick move but it isn't that important for a tennis video game.  Hopefully, they at least cycle through the different stadiums during local multiplayer matches.

Mario Tennis is not kind of game that gets very high scores, so 79 score for Mario Tennis game is quite good score.

79 on both sites right now. Honestly this is such a borderline buy for me. I still want to get it, but I can't go buying every last game I'm interested in. Otherwise I'd go broke. If it goes up to 80 or 81 I'll get it.

Isnt Kirby Planet Robobot one of the highest rated and most loved kirby title in resent years? and its sold the 2nd worst?
Meanwhile people keep saying StarAllies isnt a good Kirby game, and its sold the most?

Wut? shouldnt there be a corrolation between a good game and its sales? what is this :p

I knew you guys were over optimistic.

I'm not really sure where you see the over-reaction. It's a baffling choice on Nintendo's/Camelot's part. Level-select should be part of the multiplayer options for local multiplayer. The GameCube version had it, why not have it on Switch? Like I said, any minor issue like this can be taken care of with a patch, but it seems an oversight on day one. And, by the sounds of reviews, it's not the only oversight. I'm still getting it, but I'd hoped for some more extensive single-player and local multiplayer options, as well as a longer single-player mode.

I'm personally always overly optimistic about metacritic scores but at the same time, I hold almost zero stock in them unless they're disturbingly low.  Like, if MTA got a 60 then that would make me take pause and reconsider my pre-order.

"Kirby is too easy!"
"Mario Tennis is too hard!"

Nintendo just can't win. Still the score is better than I thought considering the full roster and online isn't avaible.

I agree when the reviewers say a game is too easy, that should remove lots of points most of the time except when the game is aimed at kids tho..

But games like DKC Tropical Freeze and Mario Tennis Aces.. jesus can we have hard games ? After that they will complain that every game is easy cause they keep under reviewing games because they offer a challenge.
