Mario Tennis Aces for the Nintendo Switch is less about angling the perfect topspin forehand down the line and more about standing in a star, leaping 20 feet in the air and smashing the ball at Bowser’s face. It’s a flashy arcade tennis game with plenty of special moves to master, and playing against someone that’s the same skill level as you is one of the most tense, frantic multiplayer battles you’ll have all year. 

And yet after less than 15 hours with it, I have no desire to return. That’s because those excellent mechanics are wrapped in wafer-thin game modes that do nothing to keep you coming back. The main single-player offering, Adventure mode, tries to be a fully-fledged story with RPG elements, but it’s too short and repetitive, and while the multiplayer fares better, it lacks the variety that you’d expect from any sports game.
