The craziest part of Mario Tennis on the N64 is that Camelot managed to make the game in just 9 months. That’s 9 months from start to finish, from scratch! No pre-existing assets to work with here, no middleware engine, oh no. Camelot made magic happen here! And that’s really telling of a bygone era. It’s amazing that a game of this calibre could be made so quickly by such a small team! How I miss those days… Honestly though? It’s a miracle that Camelot survived the transition to HD and are still going today with a team not much larger than in the N64 era. -
Mario Tennis JP release: 21st July 2000 NA release: 28th August 2000 PAL release: 3rd November 2000 Developer: Camelot Publisher: Nintendo N64 Magazine Score: 91% While this isn’t the first Tennis game bearing Mario’s name, Nintendo like to pretend that Mario’s Tennis on the Virtual Boy never existed (along with every other game on it) . This follows the same formula as Mario Golf – provide a great sports game that just happens to have Mario characters in it, rather than the more random and powerup-fuelled later Mario sports games. And it really is a great tennis game. The characters have different kinds of swings, and you have a few basic shots. It’s not overly complicated, but it’s something you’ll enjoy playing for hours at a time. The only special moves are just stronger moves that require you to be positioned in advance, and that’s what makes is so great. There are a ton of courts to unlock by playing tournaments, and a good amount of characters, including newcomer Waluigi. There’s also a few bonus modes, such as a mode where you have to hit the ball through rings and then win the point to score them, one where you have to return a ton of balls shot by piranha plants, and a bonus mode which is more like what you’d expect from Mario Tennis now – a tilting board with items to use. They’re all fun, and provide a great alternative way to play. Mario Tennis is still incredibly good fun and still a great tennis game. There are some great little touches (such as seeing Lakitu fly away from a player after a close up), and a lot of charm that makes the game enjoyable without going crazy with the core gameplay. Great Remake or remaster? A remake of this, combined with the Game Boy Colour’s RPG mode in 3D, would be amazing. Official ways to get the game. There is no way to buy a new copy of Mario Tennis, the only official way to play is to rent it via the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pak.

After that early goal Leicester didn't really do anything. Crazy trying to sit back for 80+ minutes with a 1 nil lead. What's even crazier is still the lack of contracts for TAA, VVD and Salah. -

It fits too much, haha. I messed up the sizing, so I'll be finishing this one off proper, sell it off, and then print another one I'll keep. I might go for the Dread helmet though, seeing as this has a weird shape to the neck and the Dread fits better as a helmet. But it's all just for fun, and the prime design is so pretty too. I'll update when I've finished the helmet later, but it will take some time . -
Thanks for the games. Here's a link to this week's stream. - - - - - N-Europe Get Together! (26/12/2024)
