Re: Mario Tennis Remake On Wii ( New Play Control Series
I've never played the Gameboy version but I do own the Gamecube one and it's great. If they do the Wii version justice regards the new controls I'll buy that.

Re: Mario Tennis Remake On Wii ( New Play Control Series
Haha, I used to love the gamecube version of Mario Tennis, knocking those little crocs(or whatever they were) off the net to attack your opponent just never got old(for me at least  ). If they can get the controls close or on par with Wii Sports Tennis then it could be a classic remake!

Re: Mario Tennis Remake On Wii ( New Play Control Series
Morning! Has anybody picked a copy of this up yet? I quite fancy it, having enjoyed / broken a controller on the the Gamecube version. If the new controls have been well implemented it should be a cracker.

Re: Mario Tennis Remake On Wii ( New Play Control Series
Well my 2 boys and i love it! Much better than wii sports tennis as far as we're concerned.
However as a single player game the wii controls don't quite seem to have enough finesse or speed but in 2 player its great as you both have the same limitations.

Re: Mario Tennis Remake On Wii ( New Play Control Series
Well the official Nintendo magazine's review is out in this month's mag (April issue) and they have given MPT just 77% saying: "Attractive tennis with a Mario twist but hobbled by hard-to-aim motion controls".
They mainly complained that the controls weren't precise enough and that it was very tough to learn.

Played on it for 10 mins today and its terrible.
Literally all you do is wave the remote around in no particular direction when the ball is near you and your character hits the ball back.
I'd say its great for under 5s and their parents to play on.
