Anyone who has played a tennis game in the past 15 years will feel right at home with the basic controls. I wouldn’t be surprised if a sound engineer at developer Tokyo Shoseki went out to a tennis court with a microphone instead of just making a facsimile on a computer.Įach face button does a different type of swing, and the shoulder buttons control the spin of the ball. It also helps that the sound effects are great. The characters show a lot of, well, character on the court if they miss a close shot they’ll yell “drats!” or celebrate when they win a close match. It’s too bad the game doesn’t surface what these differences are, but it becomes clear pretty quickly that some characters are better at serving and some are better at volleying, and so on. There are 20 characters to choose from, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but all of them look different and have different pros and cons. Even playing the first opponent of the career-like Circuit mode left me winless after three attempts, with the third showcased in this video. The CPU is vicious, and there’s no way to turn down the difficulty. It’s probably telling that my only memories of Super Tennis from my childhood involve playing with other people. The computer opponents in Super Tennis are tough.
