[edit] 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 referees the matches.
Unlike some later Nintendo tennis titles, such as Mario Tennis (2000) for the Nintendo 64 and Mario Power Tennis (2004) for the Nintendo GameCube, Tennis allows players to hit the ball out of the court.
[edit] Publication history
In 1985, Hudson Soft published Tennis for the Japanese NEC PC-8801. Nintendo ported the game to the Game Boy in 1989, and to the Nintendo e-Reader in 2002; they later remade the game for the Nintendo 3DS.
The original version is embedded in the life simulation game Animal Crossing (2001), and features in the party video game WarioWare: Twisted! (2004) as one of 9-Volt's minigames. For the Virtual Console, Nintendo republished the NES version of Tennis to the Wii in 2006 and the Game Boy version to the Nintendo 3DS in 2011.
