Virtual Console

Nintendo’s website confirms that the N64 version of Mario Tennis is launching on the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow as a Virtual Console download. A rating for the game was found on the ESRB yesterday, which suggested that its release was imminent.

Here’s the official overview of Mario Tennis:

The Mushroom Kingdom’s finest hit the court in this wild multiplayer tennis game from Camelot, the talented developers behind Golden Sun and Mario Golf! Put some power and spin into your shots to claim victory on your own. Or go head-to-head with up to three friends in multiple modes such as Ring Shot, Exhibition, and more!

Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Princess Peach, Toad, and Donkey Kong lead off the all-star, 14-character lineup, including some fan favorites this game popularized, like Daisy. The fast-paced action will have you unleashing vicious volleys, lifesaving lobs, ballistic backhands, and electrifying supercharged smashes! Don’t forget: this is tennis with a Mario twist. Take the Piranha Challenge and brave the barrage of bouncing balls, or try out the Bowser Stage to attack opponents with Green Shells. It’s easy to see why this sports classic has stood the test of time.

Mario Tennis will be available to purchase for $9.99.
