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.

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?...

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...
