The game's file size is miniscule - 888MB. A lot smaller than Mario power tennis for the Wii (1.46Gb)

I revisited Mario power tennis this afternoon, just to get a reminder. I'd almost forgotten just how good this game's gameplay is. The visuals are also amazing in progressive scan on a high end CRT. Ultra smash might be 'just another Mario tennis game', but if they can preserve and even evolve that level of refined and incredibly fun gameplay into a robust online game then I think we'll have a seriously fun game....

That's a point - maybe it will be region locked. It might make sense as you'll need as little online lag as possible for a tennis game. I'm in the UK so should be in the same region as you? Perhaps there are other players in Europe on here who'll get this..

The N64 version is so good isn't it? I still have my 64 hooked up permanently to a CRT. I love the console, but have no one to play local multiplayer with. Yes, very interested in how online is implemented. Not sure about online doubles - I'm just generally looking for a group of like minded casual players to play online with.

Hi guys -  I just wondered if anyone's getting Mario tennis, coming out next month? My initial opinion on seeing the videos wasn't that good as all they've been showing is gimmiky powerups, but news came out today that there's going to be an option to play straight up tennis online with no gimmicks/powerups. I own the N64 and GC versions, & I'm pretty sure the core gameplay of this game is going to be really fantastic - and multiplayer's really where it's at with these games.Is anyone looking to get into this? It'd be be great to find a few tennis players out there!  Cheers :)
