I hate to give a Mario Tennis game such a low score as Tennis is only one of two Mario spinoffs I have enjoyed for decades (the other being I hate to give a Mario Tennis game such a low score as Tennis is only one of two Mario spinoffs I have enjoyed for decades (the other being Mario Kart). However, this game isn't worth anything higher than a 4 due to extreme lack of content, limited modes, and shoddy online and coop gameplay. The game is mechanically sound but c'mon, it's TENNIS. In the history of video games, tennis is what started it all so if the game was NOT mechanically sound I'd be disappointed. Graphically yes, it looks good but it's the typical graphical stylings of the Mario games which means it would look very similar on the 3DS (and, in fact does when compared to Mario Tennis Open from 2012).
Graphics and mechanically sound core gameplay alone is not worth a full retail AAA-studio price tag. It's not even worth the recently reduced-by-$10 price tag. I strongly encourage anyone interested to do what I did: rent it, spend a couple days playing it, then return it to your nearest Redbox or Gamefly. You'll see everything the game has to offer and be tired of playing it after only a few hours.

I give it a 4 for being competent in graphics and core gameplay but the lack of content and almost non-existent replay value keeps the game from being worth any more. If you have a 3DS, buy Mario Tennis Open. It's not the greatest but it's ten-fold better than this in terms of replay value. If you don't have a 3DS and want a Mario Tennis game, buy one of the Wii U's virtual console offerings.
