Shacknews – 90 / 100

Should you pick up Mario Tennis Aces? If the answer wasn’t immediately obvious already, that’s a resounding yes. It’s the best the series has seen in years, and that’s saying something for this tennis fan. If you’re looking for one of the best sports games the Switch has to offer, look no further. You’ve found it.

COGconnected – 86 / 100

Put everything together, and Mario Tennis Aces is a great addition to the Switch lineup. For hardcore tennis fans, there’s lots of authenticity to the shot selection and special moves. If you like an RPG-style Mario adventure, there’s a deep and well-written mode that will keep you interested. The game could do better to prepare you for unexpected moments of difficulty, but that doesn’t change the fact that Mario Tennis Aces is a really fun game and another essential title for any Switch owner.

GamesRadar+ – 80 / 100

A bizarre coming together of Smash Bros. and Mario Tennis that strangely works, even if the Adventure mode occasionally frustrates.

Nintendo Enthusiast – 75 / 100

Mario Tennis Aces has fantastic gameplay held back by barebones content and not much customization.

TheSixthAxis – 70 / 100

Mario Tennis Aces looks and performs as well as anything you’d expect from the House of ‘Tache, but its family friendly appearance disguises a brutally difficult single player experience that will surely alienate younger players. With a high skill threshold, it also loses out on the simple delights of pick up and play local multiplayer, but for those willing to put in the time and effort there’s still enjoyment to be found in its surprisingly challenging, albeit embellished, take on the sport.
