Default Mario Tennis Open

OVERVIEW:
Quote:
In Mario Tennis Open, Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom friends return to the court for a flurry of intense tennis action, from engaging singles and doubles matches to skill-building minigames and online play.

Up to four people can play together in local or online multiplayer modes and exchange player information via StreetPass. Players can choose between intuitive Touch Screen and gyro sensor controls or strategic button-based gameplay that delivers an even deeper experience.

Players can also choose from a variety of playable characters or use their own personalized Mii character as they serve, volley and smash their way up the leaderboards.

-As many as four players can connect online with their friends for singles or doubles matches. Additionally, Open Match mode can automatically pair players of comparable skill levels. Nintendo 3DS owners who are near each other can also face off via a local wireless connection, even if only one player has a Mario Tennis Open game card.

-Strategy is key as players execute lobs and drop shots or unleash powerful topspin to outlast their opponents in intense rallies. When Chance Areas appear on the court during a match, players can run to them to execute a supercharged Chance Shot. Intuitive Touch Screen controls allow players to easily and skillfully perform different swings. Players can also choose to use the motion controls of the Nintendo 3DS system to precisely shoot to the left or the right in order to ace their opponents.

-Using the Nintendo 3DS system’s StreetPass feature, Mario Tennis Open players can exchange and show off their customized Mii characters and incorporate them into minigame challenges or competitive singles matches. They can also exchange win-loss records and view online leaderboards of their registered Friends, or share their current win streak with anyone.

This game became a definite buy to me when they announced online play and ranking stuff, but I think I might wait a little while until I can buy it somewhere for $30 (might just buy it at $40 new though because the 3DS's line up is looking pretty dry around the time of its release...).

Nice OT by the way!

Hold up..... There's Mii Customization?



It's the little things guys.....

I'm assuming OT means original topic, right?

The Nintendo Network logo tells me that it may be unveiled before May, yet, you never know with Nintendo. . .

Also, this is a must buy, but not at $40.

One more thing: I'm surprised we're the first ones to get the game. o.O

OT means official thread.

What do you mean unveiled before May?
Are you talking about Nintendo Network itself? If so, we still aren't really sure how much the introduction of Nintendo Network will impact 3DS owners. The original rumor that stated that it was not just a re-brand did suggest that "Nintendo will launch a website accessible from any web browser that will handle configuration of your Nintendo Network account for use on the Wii U or 3DS." We still have no clue what this tool, if true, will do for the 3DS's online system on a whole. It could mean the end of friend codes (not really the end because the code would still be needed for first gen online games, but they could tie a "gamertag" to the friend code and eliminate any need for consumer interaction with them) or it could not.

All we know is what Nintendo has already told us falls under the NN umbrella when they unveiled it themselves in January:
- Communities of MK7
- Add-on Content Sales
- Preparing for digital distribution of packaged software
- Introduction of personal accounts for Wii U

That's it. There are already games shipping with the Nintendo Network logo in Japan. The appearance of the logo really doesn't put any pressure on Nintendo to reveal the full extent of the system.....
Expect it at E3 though.

It supports Nintendo Network and the graphics look great. This wont be a definite buy for me, but I might pick it up if it's cheap and I hear good things about it.

I'm sorry, when I said unveiled, I meant fully implemented into all of the games. Released, per se.

I hope "Skill Building" is similar to the Mario Tennis GBA's rpg elements. If I can level up my Mii, and use him in Singles, Doubles, and Online, I'll buy it day one.

I personally am very excited for this game. I have never played a previous Mario Tennis but I am willing to start afresh here.

I think though that the Demo Ninty put out will be the key factor about whether I buy it or not.

I'm actually kind of excited for this game now, at first I was a bit skeptical, but now, not really. It would be a definite buy if it was cheaper though, I don't think all of the features are still worth $40, I hope Nintendo does something like Tetris Axis and makes it $30 instead of $40.

Wanted to bump this thread to say I have already pre-ordered this game. I was a big fan of the Nintendo 64 one, and Mario Power Tennis was one of my most played GBA games, I loved it. So when I heard there was another handheld version coming out I was all over it. With the online play as well I'm really looking forward to this

I'd love to buy this game but I have a couple of questions first.

Will the online play be worldwide or limited by region?

Will this game have DLC?

Oh really? It does have worldwide netplay? That's awesome.

I wish Nintendo would say one way or another if games will have DLC or not. I hate how you can buy a game on launch for full price, thinking you got the whole thing, only to later find out that you need to spend more money to get the rest of it. Since we don't know yet if Mario Tennis Open will have DLC, I will have to hold off on buying it. If it does end up having DLC, I probably won't buy it at all.

Damn it, Nintendo. Why did you start doing DLC? You were the only big game company not doing it and I was buying your games left and right. Now, I have to suddenly stop buying your games. It's so stupid.

I would have bought Shin Hikari Shinwa (New Kid Icarus) on launch but I couldn't due to the chance of DLC. What a shame.

@Inazuma
★,

Lol I thought nintendo was already doing DLC already on the wii? This isn't that big of a shock that it would hit the 3ds.

I'm getting Mario Open Tennis 3DS regardless if it has DLC or not for me just an added bonus personally.

& DLC in Mario Open Tennis - 3DS wouldn't be all that bad you want an extra court to play on DLC it lol. I'd rather spend the extra cash on a game I know I like as opposed to buying a game in the e-shop knowing I have a 50/50 chance of liking the game.

As long as they don't over price the DLC in the 3ds games it's cool with me.

Happy Gaming! (^_^)

That's pretty much how I feel about it. Knowing/not knowing if a game has DLC wouldn't put me off buying it if it's a game I really want, and I'm all for DLC anyway, so I kinda hope Mario Tennis does have it. I'm actually still holding out a tiny shred of hope that Mario Kart 7 will still get DLC!

DLC is not really extra content. It's stuff taken out from the game and sold separately for extra money. It's a roundabout way to get people to spend more than a normal price for a game. In other words, it's a trick, a scam. Most people are ignorant about this and don't realize they are getting screwed. It's really sickening.

Also, you don't even own the DLC. You are licensing it. This reduces the value of your game if you want to sell it, and also discourages people from playing old games because the DLC won't be available forever. This is all done to damage the used game market and retro gaming.

It's really depressing hearing about gamers being tricked into supporting DLC. You are paying more for less. That's not something to celebrate. Please open your mind and start thinking for yourself. The world is full of bull****, and most people aren't even aware of it.

The only thing I'm interested in is what characters are in this game. I'd like to see the Koopalings, but they'd take up too many spaces in the roster... I'd like to see some classic Super Mario Bros. 2 enemies/bosses, and Tatanga, but I have a feeling Nintendo has completely forgotten those guys.

I'd LIKE Nintendo to just surprise me, but after seeing Queen Bee in Mario Kart 7, I'm not so sure I want that, either...

Other than that, I'm sure to get this game, as I've always liked the Mario Tennis series.

★,

I see where your going with this but for gamer's who have gamed all there lives like me & I'm sure a few other's on here there are very few games most of us haven't already tried by now. I respect the old school thing with gaming on the older consoles/handheld's because once in a while I'll bring out one of my older consoles to play sometimes the handhelds but I also like trying new stuff in games too as well. I'm not being tricked into supporting DLC I fully support it in games I know full well I like to play & if I have to pay a few more buck's than so be it.

Happy Gaming! (^_^)

Well, there's an article about the game in Nintendo power.

Looking great! Plus, the game's being developed to be like the console games, which I find to be nice.

Anyone see the new video? That Super Mario Bros game looks interesting. As do other Special Games. Looks like this game went from a maybe to a must buy for me.

This game didn't appeal to me at first but now it's kind of looking good. Maybe I'll pick it up sometime after launch.

i like virtua tennis, the simple tennis gameplay and even the mini-games are very enjoyable...
but i'm still not sure if i'll get this mario tennis open...

features i liked so far are:

mini games
different types of shot for more in-depth gameplay
download play + online play

still not sure how gyroscope works, i hope its implementation will be fun just like aiming with gyro like RE:R and Mario 3D Land...

Buying it, but I wish it was also an RPG like the one on the GBC (and apparently GBA). It made the game feel a lot deeper.

As soon as I can find this a bit cheaper than launch price I'll probably grab it. The special game that went through levels of Mario Bros... Genius!

Also, I loved Mario Tennis on the N64 and still do now. I haven't played any others though.

I might wait until it's get cheaper too. I've seen the extra mode like when you play tennis on the wall and there's Super Mario Bros game projected on it, it looks kinda cool.

I hate Miis, but the Mii customization in this makes it more fun and interesting to play as Miis. I still wouldn't use a Mii to play as anyway, especially since Diddy Kong is playable.

Turns out this game does not have worldwide netplay, only regional. I watched today's Japanese Nintendo Direct and Iwata said "zenkoku", which means Mario Tennis Open has regional netplay. I have a Japanese 3DS so that would mean I can't play with anyone outside of Japan.

I just canceled my preorder over this. I will probably pick this game up used for cheap a few years from now, but there is no way I'm spending $80 to get it at launch. I'd be tempted to get the USA version but the 3DS itself is region locked because Nintendo doesn't want my money. Oh well.

Can we have more evidence of this? If this was true it would suck. :-/

i just watched the nintendo direct of europe and it seems that it supports the regional online play... they are saying, (paraphrase) you can play online with other players in your region.... and also... could you be the no.1 player in europe? (reference to regional online mode, instead of saying no.1 player in the world)

This game is starting to look pretty amazing. I loved Mario Power Tennis and I have no doubt i'll love this one as well. The online aspect looks well done too.

It's such a tough decision weather I should get this game! Cause money is like super rare for me so I have to be VERY VERY Wise on what I buy. That's why I don't buy eshop games because I need to buy full long games. WHAT DO I DO!?!

The first review (At least I think...) came from the May Issue of Nintendo Power. Sad to say, it only got a 7.0. I hoped that it would've been a bit better...:/

I don't normally care much about reviews, but if Nintendo themselves give it a 7.0, that can't be good.

So, apparently Baby Peach, Dry Bowser, and Luma are new playable characters in this game.

Luma, alright, that's pretty awesome. Dry Bowser and Baby Peach, I could care less about, and there are other characters I'd rather see.

Each generation Mario Tennis uses it's own generations most popular or unique characters. That is why in Power tennis(GC) it had Petey P, Wiggler, Shy Guy, And Para trooper for nostalgic purposes. Expect characters from Mario galaxy and Mario galaxy 2. Oh, how i miss sunshine........

Those aren't ALL the characters. I'd like to see what the full roster looks like, but I'm worried that I might be disappointed with the results.

I've learned to hate doubles ever since you've played power tennis. AI In that game are really stupid.

No ShyGuy :'(

Why the heck is Baby Peach there. No one cares about Baby Peach. Who is Baby Peach? Peache's Daughter? Peach from the past? Ugh.

I think it's cool that Luma is there. I'll probably play as him. If I get the game. I don't know. ShyGuy would have pushed me over the edge :I

I think it'd be cool to actually see Mario and Peach portrayed as husband and wife, and the babies as the kids. The Mario lore really needs to be addressed. It's quite overdue.

No Shy Guy?!


*Goes on rampage, tears down Nintendo of America, kidnaps Baby Peach, then flings self off cliff with baby in hand*

But in all seriousness, why take out Shy Guy and put Baby Peach in the roster? Who is she? Is she a Japanese only PIT character? Who even cares about Baby Peach?

I'm sorry about that episode, my anger rant is finished.

It does say in the trailer 16 characters plus more to unlock, so maybe there's still a chance but ShyGuy is also part of the line judge team so maybe not.

I can read Japanese. It looks like there will be many different colors of Yoshis, but they will have different specialties such as power or spin shots.

That's not all. They announced there will be more unlockable via QR codes. So, they are going to fully take advantage of the 3DS! And about luigi, I always liked him better then mario, so i'm peeved too.

I know that Nintendo probably won't do it, but I would probably buy this if it had RPG elements like the first one. It also got ridiculously hard throughout the original GBC game.

On the last battle with wario and waluigi in power tennis, it took me a hour straight of mashing the buttons and running around the court just to beat that game.

Pleasantly surprised to see TV advert for Mario Tennis last night for first time. Prime time evening spot as well.

The advert looked good, but for me, this is also very promising.
Nintendo wouldn't spend the cash on TV advertising if they didn't have complete faith on the game right? Theory.
Unless it's a case of more money than sense.....

Also the UK release date, finally! May 25.

I'd been checking the Game website every few days and again this morning and still no release date - strange. But at least there's something concrete now.

And getting ready to preorder....and click!

I saw the advert on ITV1+1, around or after 7/8pm on Saturday night. I watched a bit of Britain's got Talent Final (sad I know) so the time slot for the advert was very prime time.

No expense spared for advertising, eh Nintendo? So again: either they must have real faith in the game to spend the big marketing budget or they're trying really hard to push sales.

Either way, they don't mind spending millions, so the game has to be worth it, right?

Mario Tennis Open (3DS) Review | Video Games Reviews, Release Dates, Prices

Here's the first review on the game.

7/10 without playing the online mode sounds decent enough to pick up.

Mario Tennis Open Review - IGN

6.5, thank god reviewers are telling it how it is. Lack of genuine content, mediocre online and stupid design choices all amount to the worst Mario Tennis in history.

Well, as a long time Mario Tennis fan who has played every game in the series, I will not purchase this one new. Nintendo got lazy yet again. I will not support it. I will buy it used down the line, as I recommend that everyone does. Vote with your wallets people.

I see all what IGN means,but the character custimization is fine with just being the mii,I havn't got a 3DS game in a long time,so i'll probobly just get it.


Not saying it's that good,but can't wait to play multipler.

It's still sad about the online multiplayer tho :/

The fact that the game will move for you in gyroscope mode combined with the color-coded touch screen controls really makes this game seem easy. Not sure if I really want it anymore...

Still a day-1 purchase for me. I'll probably thoroughly enjoy this game along with every other tennis game i've played.

I was ready to purchase day one, but the more I read about it, the less I want it. Maybe I'll just play through Power Tour again on the GBA...

I never trusted IGN scores cause they were always wrong IMO.

All I gotta say is that if the online multiplayer is good then I have no complaints that's probably the only reason why I'm getting it.

I tried out the demo at best buy today and controls are decent for the most part and we'll just have to wait and see how this game turns out be good or a BUST.

Saw a commercial for this on TV today. Quite a shame the game isn't as good as it could be. Maybe if it had them RPG elements...

I'll probably get it when it's cheap. Wouldn't mind a demo on the eShop either.

I might be getting this game tomorrow or Friday. I know it will still be a fun game even if it lacks the RPG parts. Can't wait to play online.

This may sound stupid, but being able to play as my Mii holds a large factor in whether I get a game or not. I love being able to play as my Mii.

When it comes to game reviewers, I really only trust Nintendo Power. They're the only ones who don't judge a game by it's producer instead of the game itself. At least, not from what I can tell.

You do know that Nintendo Power is probably the most likely reviewer to be biased considering it is Ninty's Official Magazine? :P

I personally trust Nintendo Gamer's reviews and I guess the general concensus of sites, not really specific ones though. For only a 6.5 I thought the IGN review was quite positive.

Yeah, I know. I was a little hesitant to subscribe at first. But I figured, "Well, they ARE Nintendo official magazine, so what the hey, I'll subscribe."

I wholeheartedly reccommend Nintendo Gamer. I have been a subscriber for 4 months now and the magazine is so hilarious, well written and interesting with great reviews. Nintendo Power just didn't live up to it when I compared the two!

Thanks for the advice, but I think I'll stick with Nintendo Power. They're funny enough for me, but as long as they deliver solid reviews and previews for both retail and downloads, it's good enough for me.

Besides, I've never seen Nintendo Gamer in stores, and I usually test them out that way before subscribing.

Thanks for the advice, though.

Maybe it is just for the UK anyway, I dunno. xD

Nintendo Gamer gave it a solid 80/100 and it was a very detailed review. I am still picking up the game regardless.

Come to think of it, it usually is one Nintendo magazine per country. That might explain why I've never so much of heard as it until now.

At any rate, NP rated it a 7.0 out of 10. An average rating, but they gave their reasons. Good reasons too. The only thing they didn't mention was how good the online was... I mean, they said they enjoyed it, but they didn't even mention whether it was gimmicky or not.

Well, I suppose I'll figure that out when I pick up my pre-order tommorow.

I know that! But in NGamer, you get more stuff. I recently got a Mario Pirate flag, NGamer Dogtags, Cheatbooks, and a couple other things.

Just got the game today. I love it so far. I have beat the first two cups and have been playing some online. There really are a lot of customization clothing and rackets for purchase and it definitely has that addictive Nintendo charm about it. This game is great. Haven't unlocked any characters yet.

Ignore this post. I replied to a post from the first page, thinking it it was more recent, because I thought I clicked the to this page. Now my browser won't let me delete it, or edit it. Figured I'd let you know so you didn't get confused as to why I was replying to an age old post.

The online so far is great. Not many people but only because it comes out tomorrow.

I thought I wouldn't like the Gyro Controls but they are actually really good. To me they are the best and most fluid Gyro Controls so far. And the game looks really nice from the on the court view as opposed to top down view. I only play with Gyro Controls now and I'm someone who really doesn't like that type of control scheme. The only thing about it is that the movement of your character becomes automatic and all you are doing at that point is aiming the system and pressing a button to make the shot. I can understand why they made the movement automatic though, it would be a little hard to move your character and move the system too just to get a perfect shot. You can move your character still though, all you have to do is move the Circle Pad and they will move. But once you stop it goes back to auto.

GameSpot gave it a 5.5 out of 10, which isn't good at all...but I might still pick it up...maybe after a price drop.

I got MTO early a few days ago. I'm not going to spoil anything, but IT IS AMAZING! I was one of those people who originally wasn't going to get it because of lack of rpg mode haha

Just got my hands on MTO. Played the first cup and the special games. Enjoying the experience so far. The customization is endless. And it's gonna take time to unlock all the stuff. Pretty fun and challenging. Thumbs up to Nintendo

In exhibition you can pick the difficulty,

Better online? Umm, in this you dont face as many laggers as you only need to find one opponent instead of 7. Wireless? This has local multiplayer also. Kart parts? This has shoes, rackets, shirts, etc. Harder? MK7 is pretty easy, even on 150cc.

Anyone watch/seen Prince of Tennis? Yellow Chance Ball is Moon Volley, White Chance Ball is Zero Shiki, Blue Chance Ball is the Snake, and I dont know about the other two XD

I'm currently replaying the final Star Players cup and I'm stuck in a deadlock tiebreaker in the finals... "6-6, adv me, 6-6, adv opponent, 6-6, adv me, etc"

So far all I run into is players using Boo just because he has the tricky stat. It's kind of annoying. I also feel like the character movement is sluggish compared to offline single player. I guess it's to compensate for lag, but it's kind of a pain.

Boos are only good when they know how to use them. But yes, that is what alot of people use. I am rank 11, by the time I play again I will probably be in the 20's. The rating part is stupid, you lose like 40 for losing, and gain like 6 for winning.

I picked up this game today and I love it. I always kind of ignored Mario sport spinoffs, but this one is quite fun. I haven't had the chance to play online yet though.. Everybody get it!

How is the online for the game? I'll be honest, playing single player would bore me on day 1 so the main reason I'd pick the game up is for the online multiplayer. Is the lag tolerable and how is the ranking system? Also can you use the Mario characters online or are you forced to use Miis like in Dragon Quest & Mario: Itadaki Street Wii?

The only bad thing about this game is the online multiplayer. When it comes to the ratings, You lose too many point when you lose a match, and you gain too little when you win a match. When it comes to the internet itself, it suffers from a severe lag and one little change in the Wi-Fi signal takes you out of the match entirely and puts you back at the Game Mode selection. If you're getting this for the internet multiplayer, don't. It's a waste of money. However, if you're getting it for the entire package and not just internet, than I recommend it.

Online mode lags a bit on occasion.

I have another question for those who have the game. Is there any punishment for rage quitting? All competitive online games should do something to handle this problem, but Nintendo usually drops the ball. *looks at Mario Kart 7 communities*

I have played many hundreds of hours of Mario Kart 7 in various communities, and most matches end with my opponent(s) rage quitting. I am not exaggerating. It's disgusting.

9 hours and 45 minutes. I reached rank 1 at about 9 hours. Single player time was probably like 2 hours :/

I think I played someone named Chrissy(insert #) a few times. Were you played quick games?

Which controls are you all using - Gyro sensor on or off? I thought that Gyro made the gameplay easier, but now that I read more about it in the manual, it looks like it's just for changing player perspective. I had Gyro set to off because I thought I saw somewhere that it made gameplay easier. Need to test this out now that I've played it more.

I can't believe Nintendo actually had the guts to release such a shallow game...then again, people seem to be buying it in droves, so good for them, I guess. Fool the mindless sheep, take their money, repeat.

What sucks the most is that Camelot made this, and they were one of my favorite developers under Nintendo. I LOVED every past Mario Tennis, but this is just pathetic. They didn't even try. A handful of tournaments and mini-games, one of the most shallow online elements ever to disgrace gaming, and customization for Mii's only? I didn't pay a single penny for the game and I'm still sad I got it. I was hoping this would be the next big 3DS game, but it's just a farce. It's like they said, "Well, since we have sucked with online in the past, our crazy, rabid fans will probably buy a new Mario Tennis for an online component, so let's just throw in some other things and make it seem like a complete package. They'll buy it anyway, because they have no self control".

Shame on you, Nintendo.

Also, I can't stand Gyro camera view. Classic view is the only way I will ever play.

It's a fun little game, although I kinda wish it had a story mode even though I hate how chatty Camelot games traditionally are.

I don't know how the scanning works yet.
Japan has a code for a blue yoshi, and The UK will be getting a Black Yoshi.

For NA, you go to that website and click GET QR CODES HERE, then you pick one and get a hint. Then you follow the hint.

Nope, my name is Chris online, and I'm always Peach. We should play sometime!

I won an extended game in online but I lost 6 from my rating, has this happened to anybody else. The game went into to tiebreak.

People are using too many boos... Boos are kinda like a cheat, easy to get aces and easy to get the ball past players... It's annoying to play against someone playing as boo

I have won many times and lost ranking, probably because it was a close match, but still. It is really hard to get rating, but easy to lose it. Atleast it is easy to be first place in the monthly.

Yeah, I dont like playing against Boos, unless they suck. There have been Boos that know how to play, and Boos that let me get my ace serves.

I'm a tennis player in real life and it is one of my favorite sports. This is my first Mario Tennis game. I pre-ordered it, and got it the morning it came out. It felt natural to me although it is my first MT game. I tried Power Tennis on the Wii, the day I pre-ordered it. Open is better. xD If you wanna challenge PM me and i'll send my FC. I also challenged a girl named V.Williams. She beat me at first but I won two times after. xD I also beat my rival Baijing.

What's the usual 3DS game price in Australia? I'm having a lot of fun with the game, but it's not a must-buy. I'd even say that with the fact that it's a pretty light game, it feels like it should have been cheaper than full price. 3DS games in North America are $40, and even though I find it worth it, I think Nintendo should have priced it $30.

So in my opinion, it's a very fun, good-looking and addicting game but it's definitely a "summer game," rather than a must-own (like Resident Evil: Revelations, what a fantastic game).

$70 for a new 3DS game, usually.

I've heard the criticisms of this game that it's more of the same, which wouldn't be bad for me since I've never played Mario Tennis. Maybe if I find it cheap.

The lag actually isn't all the bad. Usually 8/10 matches have no lag. It depends on the time of day. When I play at 2 am or so, then yes, its laggy. Most likely because it has to search further away for opponents.

I got an email today telling me my copy has shipped and will be with me in 2-3 days, so there's a slight chance I could get it a day before release here(but most likely on release day) Either way I'm happy, looking forward to playing this.

I still wish it has RPG mode, but I still enjoy this very much because of online play It takes a while to unlock everything. I got this game 4 days early, and I'm still trying to unlock everything...

Two things I have to complain about:

1) They added in so many Super Mario Galaxy references but didn't make Rosalina a playable character.

2) The online matches suffer from a severe lag, and they get canceled altogether if there is just one tiny little shift in the Wi-Fi signal. If this is what Nintendo Network is going to be like, you can pretty much give up on the 3DS being an "online gaming machine."

I couldn't agree with you more. I don't like this at all. We give Nintendo more business then their own home country half the time, and yet here's what everybody else get's:

Japan:
Red Yoshi
Blue Yoshi
Yellow Yoshi
Light Blue Yoshi
Pink Yoshi
Black Yoshi
White Yoshi
Yoshi Costume

Australia:
Red Yoshi
Blue Yoshi
Yellow Yoshi
Light Blue Yoshi
Pink Yoshi
Black Yoshi
White Yoshi
Yoshi Costume

Europe:
Red Yoshi
Blue Yoshi
Yellow Yoshi
Light Blue Yoshi
Pink Yoshi
Black Yoshi
White Yoshi
Yoshi Costume

North America:
Blue Yoshi
Yoshi Costume

That's it?! That's all we're getting?! Who's stupid idea was that, Nintendo's or Camelot's?!

I like Mario Tennis as much as the next guy, but let's face it: the character roster in this installment pretty much stinks. If Nintendo doesn't release the other QR codes on their Mario Tennis website, I will be one VERY unhappy customer.

And we all know what unhappy customers do! ?takes out giant sledgehammer?

THEY KILL!!!!!!! (...lol?)
