Mario Tennis Fever

They say love means nothing to a tennis player but it’s so easy to lose your heart to this spirited slice of sport.

Mario Tennis Fever lives up to the series’ tradition of fun pick-up-and-play sporting fun, while expanding on it with fun new mechanics and a range of entertaining game modes.

The most fun you’ll have is playing with a bunch of friends in the same room, but there’s also an online mode which offers ranked or friendly games. However you choose to play, the game exudes childlike charm while hiding layers of depth beneath its chaotic exterior. You can spend hours practising perfectly timed drop shots, mastering spin and getting your positioning just right, and figuring out which fever rackets best suit your style of play is an involving process. It is, in short, exactly what you want and expect from a Nintendo sports title – something for everyone, and then something more for those who decide to go pro.

Mario Tennis Fever is pure, unrestrained fun: fast, chaotic, and incredibly addictive. A perfect fit for one of Nintendo's most solid and spectacular sports spin-offs.

Ultimately, Mario Tennis Fever is a mixed bag. It's a technological showcase for the Switch 2, driven by an excellent soundtrack, and provides immediate fun in multiplayer. It's enjoyable, the execution is impressive, but it still lacks the spark of the GBA games and the depth of Tennis Aces. The experience leaves you with the strange feeling of having witnessed a spectacular fireworks display at a party with friends. It's beautiful, it's intense for a fleeting moment. But the flame isn't strong enough to convince you to go to the show alone.

Mario Tennis Fever boasts an impressive roster and a robust multiplayer offering, but its single-player content is thin and the Story mode feels like little more than a red herring. Controller in hand, the gameplay ranks among the best the series has delivered, yet it’s not enough to justify a full-price purchase. Switch 2 needs true heavy hitters, and Camelot’s latest effort ultimately falls short of that mark.

Mario Tennis Fever takes the series another step in the direction of Mario Kart craziness, but it doesn’t quite work as well on the small tennis court. Multiplayer matches provide short lived fun, but the overall experience lacks staying power, resulting in a shallow and uneven entry that fails to fully capitalize on the series’ potential.

I LOVE Mario tennis fever its the BEST Game of Mario tennis and have a new character,baby waluigi.I don't understand the masive hate of this game.

Super Mario Tennis Fever delivers a lot of fun thanks to custom racquets with super abilities, vibrant arenas, a strong lineup of fan favourite characters, and surprisingly solid visuals.There’s no shortage of modes either, from themed challenge towers to the much discussed Adventure **** problem is that Adventure Mode is put together in a pretty odd way. It doesn’t really show off the game’s presentation, its core super ability hook, or the full potential of that roster. It’s not a total disaster, but it’s easily one of Fever’s biggest shortcomings. With this kind of gameplay, Nintendo could have built a proper campaign that leans into creative racquets and their abilities. Instead, super abilities only start showing up properly in the back half of the run, and even then they’re rationed out in small bursts, never letting the system reach its potential. A more fleshed out story mode could have pushed this Nintendo exclusive to higher review scores.Still, Super Mario Tennis Fever is a great time, whether you’re solo grinding tower challenges and jumping into online matches, or playing co op with friends and family.

Comparing it to Aces, I’d say it’s a slight improvement. What’s different is that it seems like a more complete game at launch, meaning that there will likely be little to no DLC. That’s fine, and maybe it explains the full price tag. The new mechanics mean that the learning curve is actually a little large for newer players to the series, I would argue. Notwithstanding that, the game can get pretty hectic quickly, so if that’s not for you, you can opt to simply play in a more raw-skilled environment instead. Without giving actual game details and just summarizing it, I’d say it’s not perfect, but still a good entry for series.

This game deserves a good score.I'dgive it an 8 if Nintendo didn't mess up the online play. There's no way to block or report opponents who either have lag or are quitting mid game. This game **** the fun out of it by putting players with different latency against each other.

What is with the fever rackets and the chaos!? It's sometimes too hard to see the ball, so technically this game gets a GU rating (although irl, i'd give it an 8).
