New Game for Nintendo 3DS Features Singles and Doubles Matches, Special Games, Online Multiplayer Modes and Mii Customization Options

REDMOND, Wash., May 21, 2012 – Rain or shine, Nintendo fans can now enjoy a fun flurry of tennis-themed challenges anytime, anywhere. Mario Tennis Open is now available for the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system, inviting players to step onto the court with Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom pals for fast-paced singles and doubles tennis matches, skill-building Special Games and new online modes that let friends and family members with wireless Internet access compete together. The game also features new ways for players to customize their Mii characters and interact with other players via the built-in StreetPass feature.

In Mario Tennis Open, players can take on the role of fan-favorite characters such as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Bowser, or play as their own personalized Mii character. Choosing between the Nintendo 3DS system’s intuitive touch-screen controls or traditional button controls, they can dive into action-packed tennis matches in single-player mode or invite others to join in the fun using a local wireless or Wi-Fi Internet connection. With each victory, players accumulate coins that can be redeemed for virtual items like rackets, sneakers and tennis uniforms, which not only enhance the appearance of their Mii character but also boost their stats on the court.

Update: NeoGAF member “Santiako” is adding more details to the rumor. Mirror of Faith features 2D gameplay similar to what was produced on the DS. However, Mercury Steam is making the game rather than Konami. Konami will still be publishing.

It seems that Konami will be announcing Castlevania: Mirror of Faith, a new 3DS title, at this year’s E3. The news apparently comes from the company’s appointment schedule for the event.

Gameplay information is not yet available. However, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow producer David Cox and director/writer Enric Álvarez are supposedly working on Mirror of Faith.

Take this with a grain of salt for now. It would certainly make sense to bring a new Castlevania to the 3DS though.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D is still without a final release date. Nevertheless, Nintendo Power did provide a verdict for the title in its May 2012 issue.

We menetioned that the publication gave RollerCoaster Tycoon a 5.5 / 10 several weeks ago. As far as what was said about the game….

– Build plenty rollercoasters in Coaster Story mode
– This mode has players helping tycoons revitalize their parks
– Help them raise money and attract guests
– Missions are generally simple but decently paced
– They challenge your coaster-constructing skills as well
– Fun to experiment with the coaster types to see what you can create
– Build and save up to nine rides using the separate Coaster Creator mode
– Pull your creations later to fulfill Coaster Story mission objectives
– Sandbox Mode is “a huge letdown”
– Unlimited funds, big plot of land available
– Very small limit on the number of rides, coaster parts, scenery pieces, shops, and footpaths that can be added to the park
– Lacks details that gave older entries some of their charm
– Can’t check guest statuses
– Can’t name rides
– Interface is cumbersome, making reconstructing sections of roller coasters difficult
– Can’t modify a coaster’s track without deleting each pieces that follows the area you wish to change

“Although RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D can be fun, its shortcoming prevent it from being the immersive experience the series is famous for. Fans might be excited to see the franchise return, but this portable simplification will leave most players feeling less than thrilled.

In case you haven’t heard, Renegade Kid’s next eShop game is Bomb Monkey. Nintendo Power was given an exclusive look at the title in its May issue, which includes the first official details and screenshots.

We’ve summarized all of the juicy information from the magazine below.

– Stylistically different from Renegade Kid’s previous games
– Arcade-style falling-block puzzler
– Hold the 3DS sideways to play
– Use control pad or Circle Pad to move your money back and forth along the top of the screen
– Press down to drop colored blocks wherever you see fit
– Stack is constantly growing, rises from the bottom of the screen
– If the stack reaches your monkey’s location, the game ends
– Randomly obtain access to bombs
– Use bombs to destroy nearby blocks
– Blocks that are next each other and have the same color can all be destroyed at once if they’re hit by a bomb
– Somewhat comparable to Super Puzzle Fighter II
– Need to hit locked blocks multiple times to destroy
– Special red boxes can destroy an entire row or column of blocks when detonated
– Position red blocks strategically to set up massive combs that take out nearly all blocks in sight
– Destroy spheres marked with letters to spell the word BOMB
– This allows you to enter Bomb Monkey Time
– Bomb Monkey Time: drop unlimited boxes temporarily
– Endless mode included
– Destroy as many blocks and rack up as high a score as possible before you lose in Endless mode
– Rescue mode: destroy a cage with bombs in order to free another monkey
– Numbers mode: Destroy numbered spheres in the correct order
– Versus and co-op modes: play with a friend using one 3DS
– Friend controls his monkey with the X, A, B buttons
– Action takes place over both screens in versus and co-op
