Mario Tennis Aces review impressions — a fighting game for everyone

Mario Tennis Aces is one of my biggest surprises of the year. I’ve enjoyed some of Nintendo’s sports games in the past, but those were primarily the role-playing-like versions of Mario Tennis and Mario Golf for the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. Aces, which hits the Nintendo Switch on June 22, is different because the main appeal here is the multiplayer tennis battle gameplay itself.

I love Mario Tennis Aces so far — even though I have some issues with its single-player content. But these are only review-in-progress impressions because we are waiting to further test the live version of the game, since its success will hinge on whether its online matches have any lag or other problems.
