Only a few more hours until today’s Nintendo Direct, and information about the games that’ll be announced have already begun to appear. Mario Tennis Aces, in particular, was leaked with a slew of new information regarding the game, its playable characters, and release date window, courtesy of Japanese retailer, Rakuten.
Mario Tennis Aces appears to have a release window for June 22nd, 2018 which is a Friday. As this is still not officially confirmed by Nintendo, we’d like to remind readers that this is still a placeholder date. Mario Tennis Aces will feature a couch co-op and online play, a feature that was included in Ultra Smash. The game will also include motion controls, a feature we haven’t seen heavily used in sports games since the Wii-era.
The current known roster appears to include characters such as Mario, Wario, Waluigi, Daisy, Rosalina, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Bowser.
We also get a glimpse of new screenshots and more information is to follow, later today during the Nintendo Direct. We’ll be sure cover the presentation in full. For all things, Nintendo, stay tuned to NinMobileNews.
