OMG - Mario Power Tennis for Wii, it's finally coming!

This was announced a few weeks ago.

Anyways, I'm totally hyped! :D

The game is from 2004

You could have picked it up for over 4 years

I hope you realize that it's just a port of the GC version with Wii controls.Rocky32189

Yeah, that's pretty disappointing... :/

But, I never bought the GC version anyway, so I might aswell buy this game. :)

Too many good games on other systems and a few on the wii to waste money on a rehash of a gamecube game. I wish there were better games on the wii. imHo.

Are your kidding me? This will probably be the same thing as the GC version just like all the other ones.

Example

Mario Kart Double Dash+Mario Kart Wii= same thing.

The mario tennis game is set to make it's transition on the Nintendo Wii console. I can't wait.Turbo_Burdo

Great Job at raising my hopes and then crushing them in a couple seconds!

You title makes it sound like the wii was getting a new mario tennis, not a an old mario tennis from 5 years ago with slapped on "waggle" controls :(

Have a gamecube, never bought mario tennis, heard it wasnt up to peoples expectations!!

Mario tennis for Wii, port of gamecube version, wont make me buy a Wii (yet!!)

Come on nintendo, 2009 is your year, dont get sloppy!!!8)

Why would you be excited for this? I know it isn't a reliable source, but x-play gave it 2/5 stars saying it's just like the original only with tiring and frustrating controls.

They ended up making the game worse.

meh, the only gamecube re-release I'd like from nintendo would be windwaker with twilight princess graphics... but that's not even on their interests =(DarkSan00

I'd be interested in playing WW with TLP graphics and I'm sure I'm not the only one :)

WOW, were pretty off-topic......

just to let you know, X-Play gave this game a 2 out of 5

and there is no extra stuff that isnt in the Gamecube version, so if you already have the GC version, this game is a pass

i'll say it again

buy or encourage people to buy these ports if they really just wanted $ why wouldn't melee, double dash, wind waker, sunshine, be the first ones? because they sold more than enough

but pikmin, mario tennis, chibi robo, metroid aren't as popular with even hardcore gamers, yea they have their niche but they aren't selling in the mario numbers

its to get some profit, yes, but mainly to get these weird "hardcore" wii gamers who only buy 300k of zack & wiki, okami, and the casuals to test franchises that they want to make new Wii versions, but want to test the waters

perhaps there is a DK sidescroller in early stages, do you think if the jungle beat port sells and does well it will hurt it? and pikmin too. if pikmin 3 is being made, i'm sure having this port will be a good learning tool for them.

as i repeat, if this wasn't for nintendo to better understand their audience why wouldn't sunshine, double dash, melee, wind waker, animal crossing have been first announced?

what did they give the GCN version? i mean $30, and if they rated the GCN one 3 or 4 out of 5 its really no point to lower it unless the design is dated.

if its still a quality game, with little added, does that compromise the design? or you're intergity to re-buy something? besides, xplay only even reviewed this coz they have to by g4tv's rules fit something that doesn't have to do with high end consoles into their show, once every month

they ignore alot of people who watch their show, and if they'd stop covering and hyping flops like lair (one of morgan webbs favorite games of e3 2007, 2 months later its bad after she loved it? really morgan?) fracture, and others and focus slighlty more on madworld, little kings story, zack & wiki, etc. maybe the wii wouldn't be perceived so poorly in hardcore gaming cirlces in the media, i mean i read an articel in play, i think it was, could've been another, anyway they were previewing cursed mountain, said it had promise and the prayer combat system sounded unique and original, BUT they literally said survival horror doesn't do good on Wii and would be better on others

WTF? SO RE4 and fatal frame 4 are bad now?

nintendo+ GC port = lazydiemjoker4

Ok, I'm not exactly thrilled that this will be a direct port from GC to Wii with new controls.

But, people here talking about the controls being bad without playing the game OR even having a credible review to back it up.

C'mon, that's silly.

I might get this one... and maybe Mario Golf, but mostly because there aren't really good Wii versions of those games (with or without Mario).

the only people who should buy this is if you are creating a mountain of shovel ware to show to the world.brettneo3012

It will be GLORIOUS!

OK, I made a mistake, apologies go out to those I have raised hopes for. If it's just a 'Wiimake' then Im not buying the game.Turbo_Burdo

In the case of Mario Tennis,they seemed to make pretty solid points justifying the score for the game.

Yeah, X-Play actually did a pretty good job with the review and brought up a lot of great points that justified a 2 out of 5! After reading their review I expect IGN and Gamespot to follow and bash this game criticaly!
