Mario Tennis Aces

Mario Tennis Aces is getting another update this week, Nintendo has confirmed. Version 1.1.1 be going live on Friday in Japan, so possibly late Thursday night in North America.

At least for part of the update, tournaments and a rating feature will be involved. The rating will be an accumulation of all points gained and lost during your matches. With version 1.1.1, you’ll basically be able to check your rating in the tournament from July 1st onwards. If a communication error occurs in the middle of the match, your rating will be impacted by what points you had gained/lost up until the moment of the error.

We’ll let you know when the update is live and when the full patch notes are in.

Today marks the release of Mario Tennis Aces, the next installment in the long-running Mario Tennis series. Unfortunately, however, players have discovered that there are two important options missing from the game: the ability to adjust the length of the match and to choose what court to play on. 

A stage select feature is fairly common in titles like Aces, but instead, the game randomly chooses from the seven available courts without any player input. You do have the possibility to disable all stages but the one you want to play on, but it ends up being an unnecessarily tedious process.

Many hope that Nintendo will add these features, as additional characters are being planned in the coming months. Thus far, Aces has a respectable score of 77 on Metacritic, with critics praising its refined mechanics despite a rather shallow single player experience.
