Gameplay

The game features single-player and two-player modes for singles and doubles matches, with either competitive or cooperative gameplay. A computerized opponent's artificial intelligence can be set to one of five difficulty levels. Mario is the official.

Development and release

In 1983, the Famicom had only three launch games, and its library would total seven, including Tennis. Shigeru Miyamoto said he was "directly in charge of the character design and the game design".[5] The game was developed in 1983.[2]

In 1984, it was included in the Nintendo VS. System arcade game series under the name Vs. Tennis[b], which released in Japan on January 18, 1984.[2] In 1985, Hudson Soft published Tennis for the PC-8801.[7][additional citation(s) needed] It was re-released for the North American launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System in October 1985. Nintendo ported the game to the Game Boy in 1989, and to the Nintendo e-Reader in 2002.

The NES version is embedded in the life simulation game Animal Crossing (2001), and in the party video game WarioWare: Twisted! (2004) as one of 9-Volt's minigames. For the Virtual Console, Nintendo republished the NES version to the Wii in 2006 and the Wii U in 2013 and the Game Boy version to the Nintendo 3DS in 2011.[8][9][10] This version was added to Nintendo Switch Online in late 2018.[11]

Reception

In Japan, Game Machine listed VS. Tennis in its March 15, 1984 issue as the most successful table arcade cabinet of the month.[12] It again topped the Game Machine table arcade game charts in April[13] and May 1984.[14] In the United States, Vs. Tennis topped the arcade software conversion kit charts of RePlay (July 1984)[15] and Play Meter (August 1984).[16] It became the sixth top-performing arcade game of 1984 in the United States.[17] In Europe, it had become a very popular arcade game by 1986.[3]
