Posted January 27, 2017 Yup. I dunno how the match making will work but i'm gonna assume it will be like the Mario Golf/Tennis games. Probably yeah, as long as it's not like Wii U Mario Tennis where you can't play with friends... Saying that, I don't know if I can justify getting this so close to Switch; will I really play it with having Zelda, Bomberman and my whole library of VC games on such a nice portable screen...?!

Posted January 27, 2017 I don't get this game. What is it like a fully fledged collection of Mario sports titles? Or is it just a bite size portion of each one, so play a couple of games of tennis before getting involved in a round of baseball etc? Or will it be like a main tennis game and baseball game in the cartridge. I don't know?! Also, wish it was a Switch title. Would have been good to have that to look forward to.

Posted January 27, 2017 The artwork for this game is so nice, some of the best in recent years (dem horse eyes) so it's a shame that a lot of the amiibo cards use really old assets. amiibo cards Then again when you know the context of that Bowser pose it's pretty hilarious to see him in goal just breakdancing.

Posted February 8, 2017 Available for pre-order on the Nintendo Store. Free gym bag... Out a week after the Switch... ...yes I pre-ordered it. :p and three packs of amiibo cards, really don't know how that happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 10, 2017 The release date certainly doesn't help but I think most of my interest in this game has disappeared. Football looks weak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2017 Forgot this was out yesterday. Read some reviews, as expected it's just ok but a bit rubbish too. Hardly much in the way of content which isn't surprising seeing as it's a 5 in oner. I really don't know what is going on with Mario's sports titles at the minute but the last decent one IIRC was Mario Golf on 3DS? They seem to be sending them out to die especially after the abysmal Wii U Mario Tennis game. It's a series that I have always loved and found to have so much replay-ability but now it seems like a quick cash in (if anyone actually buys it) which is just such a shame. Seems it's going the same way as Mario Party which also started off as a bit of a must have with some great follow ups before all going a bit south. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 12, 2017 Recently every Nintendo sports title has sucked. The only decent one was Mario Golf on 3DS. Doesn't give me much confidence going forward with the switch Nintendo sports titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 12, 2017 From what I've played of it, it's not a bad game by any stretch but it does follow in the barebones footsteps of the recent Mario Sports games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 13, 2017 Awful start for the game in the UK charts. It debuted at 37. What with the poor reviews, the release of the Switch and the amount of high quality games being released across the other platforms, this thing was going to bomb hard. I'm honestly surprised that Nintendo didn't push this to the Switch and give it a bit more development, especially as they must have seen what happened with Mario Tennis on the Wii U.
