Did the trailer convince you after the blunder that was Ultra Smash?

Did the trailer convince you after the blunder that was Ultra Smash?

Going to wait for more previews and reviews

It didn't convince me just yet but it certainly looks much more promising than Ultra Smash.

As an aside, I like how Nintendo has gotten more comfortable with putting their characters in different outfits. Mario characters, at this point, have a Mickey Mousesque status where you can put them in different roles and outfits without throwing people.

I at least have my eye on this one. Adding more depth to the core gameplay and a full blown story mode sound interesting

the golf games are so much better than the tennis ones, wonder why they just didn't go with that

I'm hoping it's good. but lord I want a new Strikers game more.

This

Aces was the REAL game all along, Ultra Smash was the HD gameplay prototype demo Camelot wanted to put up on the eShop for $20 until Nintendo told them they were producing $60 discs for it. Ultra Smash was confirmed their first HD title.

Golf takes more development time I imagine, the 3DS one (despite being regarded as a very good game and the last great Mario sports title) had to be delayed and Iwata made a big damn deal abou tit.

I never paid attention to Ultra Smash can someone explain why the game is horrid? It seems pretty hard to fuck up a tennis game.

I haven't played it, but it seemed like it was barebones as fuck. All it had going for it was the Mega Mushrooms.

The core gameplay was fine. The issue was there was almost nothing to do. Very few modes and literally only one tennis court. Aces is based off Ultra Smash with actual content.

...

one court
barebones roster
barebones modes

The storymode reminds me of the GC baseball game from the preview but I'm hopeful there will be some depth. I do not understand why Camelot refuses to go back to those amazing RPG modes, that's what made those games so great.

Imagine an NES game but with pretty graphics. It was pretty much like that. Pretty much just freeplay mode and nothing else, I'm not even sure if there were any secret characters

No because story mode isn’t with Alex

>I do not understand why Camelot refuses to go back to those amazing RPG modes
Only handheld Mario sports games ever had RPG mode. Even the good console ones like the GC sports games had no RPG mode

The ones of the 3ds didn't have one either. I think the golf one had a barebones one but nothing like the GB era. The Switch is the perfect place to bring something like that back.

Can you make your own character like in gba?

The difference is astounding. How did they go from the blandest design ever, to a vibrant, fun looking game? I hope it's actually good.

>without throwing people.
They don't have a problem with throwing them either.

From the looks of it, no, unless they reveal custom characters later

When they announce a new Mario Baseball I will jizz everywhere.

There was a demo at E3 that consisted of a single court and a Mega Mushroom gimmick.

Aside from a rally minigame and standard exhibition that removed the mega mushroom, that was it. That was the entire game.

>Switch is a handheld hybrid
>It goes halfway with a nonRPG Story Mode

Mario Baseball and Mario Strikers are the god tier sports games.

Even Link doesn't need his green fairy tunic to be recognisable.

the apparent lack of an idiotic gimmick is encouraging. That whole "you gotta stand in this random circle and perform a random shot" mechanic from the previous MT games was ultra cancer

Not at all. The 3DS Tennis game had more content than Ultra Smash and still sucked dick.

I want an assurance of GOOD content, not just more of it.

...

Really? Never played a Mario Golf game are they really good?

Nobody cares for Tennis.7
Tennis is a shit sport that is unwatchable boring.

We didnt have a good Mario Football games in 2! generations what the fuck Nintendo.
That would be fucking awesome but no WE GET FUCKING TENNIS

Best game announced

Tennis is a noble sport for the high class. Get lost, poorfag.

wheres strikers

They actually reused the racket. It's obvious now that the Wii U game was a gameplay demo, placeholder for the Switch version.

Crop it next time fampai

Oh god, this!!! Picked the GC version up for giggles one year with a mate and it ended up being our go to title for epic sessions.

I want to believe
