After teasing us for years with Wii Sports, Nintendo has finally released a Wii tennis game... sorta. How does New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis handle the transition from the GameCube to Wii? Wii Sports is cursed. As much as Nintendo loves their all-time best-seller, its sure making it hard to issue standalone sports games. Mario Super Sluggers struck out, and the company hasnt even said word one about a golf or bowling game. Hopefully Punch-Out will turn the tide, because Nintendos solu...
The graphics have held up exceptionally well and the game is full of Nintendo’s most charming characters.
The Wii controls work terribly, where are the Miis?...
New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis is contradictory to what the series should be doing. The game controls much worse on the Wii, and what’s more, it wasn’t a treasured title to begin with. You’re better off going back to Wii Sports Ten...

A rehash of the original title from the GameCube, with the only fundamental change being the controller. It’s fun but there are better tennis games out there, and the novelty of Mario playing tennis was fun back in the day but its relevance now seems s...
Visually appealing, with lots of on-court action. It’s tennis but it’s not Wimbledon.
Unlike most Mario games, there’s no plot to bind everything together.

Simplicity. It's the driving force of the Wii, the one factor that has endeared it to tens of millions of people. And it's the same quality that made the original Mario Power Tennis, on GameCube, so easy to love.Like Virtua Tennis, but set in the Mushr...
Who would have thought that Wii controls would actually make a game more complicated? Well they do in Mario Tennis: a game that’s fun with the controls set to the most basic level but one that’s still not as good as in its original release. 5...

Are tacked-on motion controls an invitation for disaster? You know how when you first try bleu cheese its way too potent and abrasive, but then when you eat some more of it you realize its the greatest cheese of them all? Hmm...no? Maybe its just m...

With its list of GameCube re-releases, Nintendo may look like it's trying to make a quick buck by recycling old games and simply tacking on motion controls. But I see it as giving a second chance to some excellent games that didn't have the opportunity...

I think that most everyone can agree that the GameCube (GC) didn’t go over quite as well as Nintendo had probably hoped. Even with its generally lower price point, the system still found itself finishing in a disappointing third place last generation...

We're not against the idea of Nintendo re-releasing some of its classic GameCube games on the Wii, more or less as they were but with new Wii controls, but we were concerned that some games just wouldn't get the care and attention required. Mario Power...

Visually, New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis looks pretty good, just don’t expect any major improvements from the previous GameCube version. There is no doubt that it is a colorful game, but this should almost be a given as this is a Mario game set i...
