Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash launched a couple of months ago in the west, but Japan is finally getting the game next week. View a few commercials below.

If you picked up Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash yesterday, you may have noticed that an update for the game could be downloaded. Nintendo brought out version 1.0.1 in time for its launch. It doesn’t do too much though, as the Big N says of the patch: “Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.”

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is a game that lacks guidance when you start it up; it’s a mish mash of menu options, and they don’t tell you which icon to try first. But where Smash Bros. uses a lack of direction to overwhelm– like Charlie entering Wonka’s entirely edible room– Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash feels a lot less excited about its own content. Even the game can’t be bothered to show you around.

“Well, here’s all this stuff I guess.”

What should I do first?

“Uhhhh…”
