​

As a final bout of advertising before Mario Tennis Aces releases later this month, Nintendo has gone all out for its latest trailer. Featuring the men's tennis number one Rafael Nadal, it highlights the game's core shots, as well as showing a glimpse of Swing Mode; allowing you to challenge the umpire's decision. It's also revealed motion controls akin to Wii Sports' Tennis game are included, most probably too a part of Swing Mode.

What do you think about these additions? Do you enjoy the idea of challenging the calls, or is a little too close to real tennis for you? Let us know below.

If Mario will be in another basketball game of his own, would they get Shaquille O'Neal for a trailer?

Mario's signature is pretty epic, it even plays the Mario Bros theme!

 

[Reecey]

Very clever & intuitive but I would hate to think how much Nintendo paid Rafa to do that advert!

challenge the decision? like, is this game really bringing in that level of random?

Nadal always looks like he is going to take a shit.

Please don't make me write down the jobs / hobbies Mario has done over the years...
But short answer yes! Although he's always slacking off his day job.

This is some fire marketing right here. The game deserves it, too.

No, but I assume they might split the difference and have the ball hit the line occasionally instead of just being clearly in or out every time. In the demo there was no challenge, but if you were already far to one side of the court and try to push the ball further in that direction it would usually land out.

I want a port of Top Spin or Vitua Tennis too.

Everything I see from this game looks fantastic.

I think Mario Tennis has the potential to be up their with MK but Nintendo normally just neglect it a lot.
