Game, set and MATCH! Play some explosive tennis with a difference with NEW PLAY CONTROL! Mario Power Tennis on Wii. Choose your favourite character from the Mushroom Kingdom and get ready to hit the courts swinging as you fight your way to the top of the circuit!

There are 18 iconic characters to choose from, including Mario, Yoshi and Donkey Kong, and more ways to play Mario Power Tennis than trophies in Roger Federer's trophy cabinet. The Tournament mode features both Singles and Doubles matches as part of championships like the World Open. Beat special opponents to rise though the ranks and unlock extras! The choice is yours in Exhibition mode - you can pick up the basics here and play any of ten Gimmick courts, including Peach Dome court and Luigi's Mansion Court. As if that wasn't enough, there are also scores of fun games in the Special Games section where you can try out your artistic skills with Artist on the Court or maybe fire some volleys at ghosts in Terror Tennis.

Mario Power Tennis is part of the NEW PLAY CONTROL! series of GameCube remakes, aiming to bring the best from the GameCube bang up-to-date with innovative Wii controls. The Wii Remote makes the perfect tennis racquet - all you need to do is pretend it IS a tennis racquet and play in exactly the same way. You can slice and smash to your heart's content and each character also has their own special devastating move, actioned by a bit of nifty Wii Remote shaking and button-pressing. You can also get your friends in on the action - up to four players can compete in head-to-head matches and have fun together in the Special Games mode.

NEW PLAY CONTROL! Mario Power Tennis - are you tennis ace material?

How is that a bad thing?
Wii Sports Tennis was great, I still play it regularly.
I've been reading some iffy reviews of this game but I read one today that was quite different. This bloke claims it gets better the longer you play, after an hour or so with the new controls he claims to be able to place the ball accurately, at will.
Maybe the other reviewers discounted it too quickly. I like the idea of relearning a new set of skills in order to beat the game.
I'm looking forward to it.

$37 at BigW today.
I want to like this more but I just aint diggin it so much.
I actually put wiisports tennis in to compare them, and kept playing wiisports coz it was more responsive............hmmm...........
thats not a good sign.
I was feeling tired and grumpy, so maybe i was being overly harsh.

Yeah unfortunately the difficulty wasn't changed to match the lack of ball control that you have with the Wii Remote compared to the GCN controller, it's best in multiplayer.

If you're looking for a jazzed up Wii Sports then it's a good buy for $37.

Yes its worth $37.
I've been playing it quite a bit lately, Its definitely grown on me.
Once I worked out the weird timing it actually became a lot more fun.
To be honest its a bargain at this price.

They can all do that with their defensive special move
I pick Luigi because when he wins a tournament Mario gets jealous and stomps on his toes.
