Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Should Feature Federer - http://clapway.com/2015/11/20/mario-tennis-ultra-smash-should-feature-federer123

What if Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash released a DLC or update that included famed tennis player Roger Federer? It would surely make for an amazing addition, and it might even inspire players already enraged at the impracticality of the gameplay to spend a few hours with the character.

Federer, By The Way, Just Won the 2015 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals Against Nishikori


Roger Federer, famed record holder of several tennis-related achievements, just won the 2015 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals against Kei Nishikori Japanese tennis player and #6 in the entire world. Roger Federer, Swiss and ranked as #2, maintained his ATP record throughout the match, as well as his full composure.


Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash would be awesome if it featured Federer’s famous behavior, eccentric to say the least, in the game. Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash has lacked the humor and goofiness that other Mario sports games had, and it could really use some fun and snarky humor courtesy of Roger Federer


Meanwhile Djokovic is Currently Also Playing the Finals


Novac Djokovic, Serbian and #1 in the world according to the Association of Tennis Professionals, is also in the finals, currently up against Tomas Berdych. So far the specs expect him to take home the victory, as his title would suggest. He recently caught some fire with Federer for telling the latter that yesterday’s match (featuring both players against the other) was ‘handed to him’ by the former.

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Gives You Rage Quit - http://clapway.com/2015/11/18/mario-tennis-ultra-smash-gives-you-rage-quit123/

The latest sports game out of the Mario franchise is Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and it has given a lot of gamers much grief for various reasons. The game is set to hit stores on November 20, and tester players have many things to rave about and rage about, too.

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Has No Tutorial Mode


There’s no tutorial mode in this game, which leaves gamers to basically figure it out as they go. There’s only a basic text tutorial given to gamers, in a hidden spot of the main menu that even the Pro Controller won’t reach. It’s not very useful, and gamers’ best bet is to just press random buttons until they develop a semi-successful strategy.


Eventually, though, gamers will come across a none-too-gentle CPU player that will know what they’re doing, leaving players to rage at the screen until they, once again, develop a semi-decent strategy to at least get by.


No Tournaments of Career Modes in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash


Even if gamers manage to baster how to deliver Ultra Smashes, the game doesn’t offer the options to go into Tournament or Career Mode in this installment of Mario tennis. There is, however, the option to go into a Knockout Challenge, which consists of battles between players with increasing difficulty levels. Once gamers have hit 15 KOs, gamers receive a Star version of whatever character they’d been playing as.


Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Features Three Main Modes: Mega Battle, Standard Classic Tennis and Simple Classic Tennis


Mega Battle features crowd favorites, with items like Mega Mushrooms and chance shots. Standard Classic Tennis has fewer power-ups, and Simple Classic Tennis features no power-ups at all. There’s no real depth to the game, nor should there be if gamers are looking for a few hours of solid fun.


It does leave a lot to be desired when it comes to gameplay humor. There’s no Item Battle or Ring Shots, but in general gameplay is not particularly memorable. Online play is still fun, as is playing with friends, but game testers have stated that the game might have you yelling at it as much as you’re yelling at your friends or AIs, as the game does a poor job of transitioning between item use and normal play.


Rage Quit Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Version


As the game hits stores this Friday, November 20, it’s likely that the internet will be flooded by gamers screaming at their screen or throwing their Pro Controllers at it, but it’s all in good fun. Nintendo has a way of making even the frustrating fun, and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is likely no exception.
