Didn't see anyone else post anything about the game so I thought I would. I REALLY wanted to see other people's opinions about the game, so far.
Well, I reserved and picked up my copy of Mario Power Tennis for the gamecube Wednesday. I guess that is when most stores got theirs in too?
I will have to shamefully admit that with the Nintendo nut I am, I love playing tennis and tennis videogames, and of course with all the Nintendo mascots I really have never played that much of Mario Tennis for the N64. My brother rented it one time and told him it was stupid before even playing it. Granted this was years back and before I started collected videogames fulltime. And didn't have anykind of conception of what made good game or a bad one.
Anyways, I started off playing the game by myself and really liked the gameplay and didn't know how I felt about ALL THE SHIT THAT GOES ON DURING THE GAME!
But as it turns out, the only reason I didn't know how I felt about the game is because I really didn't know how to play. Meaning I didn't have any clue what all the buttons were. This was the first time, probably since I was about 10, that I HAD to look at the instruction manual.
So all in all yesterday, counting the time I played by myself, with my brother, then with all three of us when my neighbor came up, I probably played the game for about 7 hours yesterday. And it being a tennis game I think is pretty impressive. I love all the shit that goes on during the game, now that I know all the special moves and when to use them! This game is like Mario Karts, they are great playing alone, but even better with multiplayer!!!
I even woke up about 2 oclock in the morning last night and started playing the tournament to get new games, courts, etc.
So I definately recommend this game to anyone thinking about getting it!!!
