Compete with your friends to be the next tennis pro as Mario Tennis Open comes to Nintendo 3DS on 25th May 2012
Nintendo revealed more details last week about the upcoming Mario Tennis™ Open, that will be launched across Europe for the Nintendo 3DS™ system on the 25th May 2012.
The Special Games mode in Mario Tennis Open
lets players hone their tennis skills while enjoying tennis games with a
Mario twist. Players can check out games such as Super Mario Tennis,
which puts a classic Super Mario Bros. twist on tennis drilling. As they
play through familiar game levels, they can use their tennis swing to
stomp Goombas, and Koopas along the way.
People can play as their favourite
characters from the Mushroom Kingdom or even compete as their Mii
characters. They can also customize their Mii characters with Mushroom
Kingdom-themed tennis gear, which not only enhances players’ appearances
but also can boost their stats. The wide selection of available gear
includes Bowser’s favourite racket, a Bullet Bill outfit and Peach’s
tennis shoes.
In addition to a
singles tennis match mode, another mode in the game lets up to four
players compete online in multiplayer doubles matches. Players can also
compete online for leaderboard standings in the Open Match mode.
Whether playing with other Nintendo 3DS gamers
in the same room or against distant competitors using a wireless
broadband internet connection, players can cooperate to take on a common
opponent or stay competitive and try to claim the glory for themselves.
Players can opt to use intuitive touch-screen controls or increase
their strategic options with traditional button controls. They can also
switch seamlessly to the Nintendo 3DS system’s built-in motion controls.
