It looks like the rumors were true, and the newest Nintendo Direct presentation has just been unleashed upon the world. Though the video clocks in at just over 14 minutes, this “Nintendo Direct Mini” still features a treasure trove of new announcements for the Switch.
Nintendo will serve up a new entry in the Mario Tennis franchise this Spring with the launch of Mario Tennis Aces. The Switch game will include more realistic tennis gameplay and (for the first time since 2005’s Mario Tennis: Power Tour) a Story Mode:
A new Mario Tennis game is bringing a new level of skill and competition to Nintendo Switch. Mario steps onto the court in classy tennis garb for intense rallies against a variety of characters in full-blown tennis battles. New wrinkles in tennis gameplay will challenge your ability to read an opponent’s position and stroke to determine which shot will give you the advantage. And this time the game adds the first story mode since the Mario Tennis game on Game Boy Advance, offering a new flavor of tennis gameplay, with a variety of missions and boss battles.
Nintendo has promised to reveal more information about Mario Tennis Aces soon.
