Still, i'm having great fun with this because you actually have to work for points and be a little bit tactical, although by the time you get to the Star Cup it's almost like playing against a wall lol. I knew the games had become watered down in favour of racket breaking and power shots (utter shit mechanics btw) but it's pretty stark how much worse they've made these games over the years. You can't hit a shot out unless you're pulled wide and the character is too far out the court to make the shot and it'll drift long / wide. And I've clocked over 350 hours on that game so. In the latest Switch tennis game, you cannot miss a serve. The amount of serves that go out or into the net if you don't hit them 'properly', and same with groundstrokes, feels right. I just want basic, solid tennis and Mario Tennis is great at this. I HATE these stupid trick shots, party games and gimmicks in tennis games. When you play Mario Kart 64, the series had very clearly improved beyond recognition in terms of handling etc whereas with Tennis, they've actually dumbed it down to be a shell of its former self. Well, I haven't played it since those days and it's utterly remarkable how solid the mechanics of this game are. I've always been a huge fan of the series, harking all the way back to this game which I got for my birthday one year as a kid. The one I was looking forward to most? Mario Tennis! Seemed like a no brainer, as I wanted to get this anyway for a number of games. I bought this expansion after Mario Karts additional tracks were included with it.
