Even though there were only a handful of games released for the Virtual Boy, Mario Tennis stands out as being one of the better games of the system. There are seven characters to choose from Nintendo's past and matches can be played on a singles or doubles basis against the computer. The "3-D" aspect works well except for when you are timing power shots, which you might often swing late on. Swinging just right can be a chore when the visual perspective may not match up right with the actual ball target. This problem, thankfully does not happen often. The characters are colorful and the play mood is right on to be enjoyable on a whimsical level. In other words, this is a great game to just turn on, play a match, and turn off feeling like you just had a little fun. A great starter game for anyone curiously thinking of buying a virtual boy, not very complicated or hard at all. They produced a number of these back in the day, so you should be able to find one reasonably priced on eBay. Thanx for reading!,,,,, Other games for the Virtual Boy........."Teleroboxer" = very good, "Red Alarm" = good, "Water World" = HORRIBLE!, and "Wario Land" = Great!...Bo bo go go.Read full review
I'm so glad I grew up in the 80's and 90's... What an exciting time for video games and video game systems! When the Virtual Boy first came out I was a freshman in high school. I remember seeing one for the first time at Wal*Mart. I didn't actually get my hands on one until my first part time job which at that point they were selling at close out for around $30 ~ $40! Man, if I could go back in time I'd buy up a bunch of them because who knew that they'd be such collectors items today! ^_^ Mario's Tennis was the pack in game for the Virtual Boy. It didn't come in a box and I don't recall any Virtual Boy's ever being sold as "CORE" systems. I'm guessing that if it had survived for more than a year there would have been some "CORE" systems sold because they were already selling Mario's Tennis (IN A BOX) along side the Virtual Boy...WHICH ALREADY INCLUDED MARIO'S TENNIS! Anyways, Mario's Tennis does show off some of the great features of the Virtual Boy. The opening sequence still looks impressive today! The 3D depth of the tennis field during game play also looks great. I really wish this system had survived for longer than it did, but C'est la vie... Time for Nintendo to release this game (and all other Virtual Boy games) onto the 3DS so we can experience them all over again! (without the help of buggy emulators) :P ;^)Read full review
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I am very thankful to have gotten my hands on such a delightful specimen of Nintendo History: The Virtual Boy. When it arrived at my house, I was very excited. Along with the system came another joyous item: Mario Tennis. When I first played the game, I was fairly happy about the 3D effects; they cannot be duplicated anywhere else. The controls are simple: A hits the ball, B hits the ball. Although you may have fun playing this , it does get tedious after a while. All in all, this game is a must-have for any Virtual Boy owner. If you don't already own a Virtual Boy, go and get one. Now.
Hi welcome to koolbubdavel's review console: Today I will be reviewing a game from the Nintendo Virtual Boy Titled Mario's Tennis. Mario's Tennis features most of the characters from the Mario series such as Mario's brother Luigi, Donkey Kong aka. DK, Wario, Bowser, and many other characters with their own techniques. You may have never heard of Virtual Boy as it was never really a live hit thing but I have to bet you've seen one in a Toys'R'Us or a Wal-Mart. Everyone says that the Virtual Boy did not have good graphics but it did making it more fun to play. The red(orange),blue color just didn't get much people interested but when people got to try one in a Vintage Game Store they probably wanted to buy it but it was not for sale, They were probably playing Virtual Boy's main game that came with the console, Mario's Tennis Virtual Boy. It is not easy to find Virtual Boy games as there are less than 15 in both the US and Japan. Thanks again for reading this boring review: Signed Koobubdavel Any questions? Feel free to ask any questions and I would be delighted to answer themRead full review
Mario's Tennis. Plain and simple, just another tennis game with the exception of Mario characters. Game play is simple, but can irritate the eyes after about 20 minutes. Like every Virtual Boy game, the color is limited to Black and Red. The only 3-D the game offers is the movement of the players from going forward and backwards on the court. Overall, It gets a rate above 3 for being a Mario game, but a rate below 5 for being on Virtual Boy.
