Multitalented gaming icon Mario will once again be taking to the tennis courts in Mario Tennis Open for Nintendo 3DS this May.
The latest entry in the sports series sees Mario and friends engaging in fast-paced 3D tennis action, with intuitive basic controls complemented by special power shots and unique abilities.
In addition to standard button controls, the 3DS game lets players use the Touch Screen to execute special shots more easily, while optional gyro controls can also be used to control the direction of strokes by tilting the machine.
Multiplayer will also be as big a part of the experience as ever, as Mario Tennis Open offers four-player local wireless matches using a single copy of the game.
It will also be the first Mario Tennis title to include online multiplayer, allowing players to compete against others across the world, earn points and move up the global leaderboards.
The release of Mario Tennis Open comes hot on the heels of the recent 3DS success of Mario Kart 7 and Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
