Forums - Nintendo Discussion - People are trying to refund Mario Tennis Aces for not being like real tennis

Veknoid_Outcast on 25 June 2018

I think the headline is a bit misleading. People, like me, buy Mario Tennis because of its relaxed arcade gameplay; we don't want a realistic tennis sim.

That said, we do want OPTIONS. Nintendo failing to include something as basic as adjustable sets is bonkers. How hard would it have been to program that?

The lack of options is mistake on Nintendo's part that'll hopefully be fixed, but this was known even before the game launched, so it's your own mistake for buying a game without doing enough research.

It wasn't that clear though They basically said in one of their videos there be a normal mode. People assumed it meant everything and not just the fancy shots being turned off.. In any case it it stupidity on Nintendo s part for not doing that. It would move so many more units for so little effort.
So again, not enough research was done if that's what you assumed. People who got the game early said the options were limited.

Nintendo are typically quite good with refunding people that find their games to not meet expectations.
Nintendo doesn't allow refunds if you buy digitally.

What research do you expect to people who preorder to do? It is not like it was spelt out with a WARNING: can't change set and game numbers. That is a fundamental core of a tennis game and shouldn't have been omitted. It is bad press that could have been avoided easily. 

The only info that was provided was you can turn off the fancy shit and play real tennis.

Well that's pretty uncool.
Reminds me once more to not buy the digital versions of Nintedo's retail games.

I'm not sure why you think "people want to have longer Mario tennis matches" = "people expect this game to be a tennis sim".  It amazes me how many people are shitting on others for making a completely valid complaint.

The game is clearly not a sim. But, neither were other Mario Tennis games that had this feature. Neither were the Hot Shots Tennis games that had this feature. This is literally something that would take one person no more than one day of programming to implement. There is literally no reason for this not to be included. Really? Implying people are dumb for wanting to have longer tennis like other games in the series have done? For wanting the same options in exhibition mode that are available in online mode? HOW DARE THEY!?!

It's like if they made a Mario baseball game, and it only had the option for three to five innings that, that were one to two outs per side, and people asked for the ability in exhibition matches to add make the game seven or nine innings, and the ability to make those innings three outs each. Like, why not? If you don't want to have longer games, just don't use the feature. Stick with the three game, two set default online matches.

None of the platform holders refund digital games to my knowledge.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Sony did when my kid accidentally bought a PS4 game messing around with a controller while my wife worked from home.
