Mario Tennis Open details

Posted on 12 years ago by (@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

I thought it’d be worthwhile to compile a roundup of Mario Tennis Open details from the latest Nintendo Direct.

Nintendo of America localization producer Erik Peterson shared the following information about the game:

– Focus on fast-pace, intense rallies
– Controls have a surprising amount of depth
– Can use the touch screen to tap certain shots rather than using buttons
– Gyro sensor support
– Tilt the 3DS to look around the court
– View for tilting is as if you were down on the court itself
– Local wireless with up to four people
– Can play online
– 2-4 friends
– Single or doubles matches can be played online
– There is also an “open match” online option to play against others of similar skill
– Earn victory medals by defeating other players
– Monthly leaderboards
– Player rating


Nintendo did not create Dillon’s Rolling Western. As it turns out, Vanpool did.

Although one could argue that Vanpool is an under-the-radar company, they have participated in the development of numerous Nintendo titles. They made the Tingle DS games, contributed mini-games for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and helped out with Wii Play: Motion.


On this week’s episode: Super Mario 3D Land, Tales of the Abyss, Dillon’s Rolling Western and Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 3D.

Nnooo announces PlayStation®Vita and Nintendo 3DS™ versions of escapeVektor™

Australian based games developer Nnooo has revealed their award-winning game escapeVektor will be coming to both the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS. escapeVektor is a retro styled arcade game in which the player controls Vektor, an entity trapped inside the console’s CPU.

The player has to help Vektor escape the CPU which has been holding him captive. In making his escape, Vektor must get through obstacles and avoid enemies, each with different hunting patterns and intelligence. As the player completes the various levels in the game, escape becomes more difficult. New abilities unlock to help the player outwit and destroy the CPU’s army. As the player continues through the game, old code and memories are unlocked which reveal more about Vektor’s past.
