The mega mushroom cutscenes are annoying. Halting the play every time.
Oh I see, thanks. I wonder if the 2 you aren't controlling are invincible since things like that bomb boss battle would be really hard to keep all 3 safe with all those bombs going off.

Is this going to be like Mario Kart 7 and leave out Waluigi?

I like that they're using Pro Controllers and not Wii Remotes.

I love my garbage ass OG 3DS. I'm an ambassador and have put thousands of hours on it, and it's still doing perfectly fine.It is a specific mode so you can play with them off.
Hope you can play with the chance shot off too.

I played Mario Tennis GBC more than most sport games.
Yeah, i'll definitely play with power ups off.

Oh ok, awesome.
Yeah I feel dumb asking about online for every Nintendo game. But, ya know.
Mario Power Tennis had a similar issue.
Still fun but mostly just kinda annoying. The animations here seem shorter though.
Seems like if you manage to score a shot on the marked area, depending on what icon it is, it'll have a different effect (such as your ball lighting on fire).
they like special shots based on topspin, lob, drop and slice.

Why does Peach get a tennis outfit but no one else does? I want a Bowser sized tennis headband.

Toad is in the zone, Tezuka zone.

I think they said Camelot at the beginning.
Camelot.

Wait, how would they leave Waluigi out of his own damn franchise?

Camelot.
Camelot, like every Mario Tennis game.
It's kind of weird that they phoned in Tennis Open when Power Tennis, Toadstool Tour and World Tour were so great. The latter even came out after Tennis Open and was one of the more surprisingly underrated Nintendo games of yesteryear.
I hope they won't do the same with Ultra Smash but it's not a particularly ceremonious showing.
I figured that when I saw the XCX trailer, the lack of dialogue made it clear the translation/Engish VO isn't anywhere near complete yet.

Xenoblade X isn't even on the show floor?
WTF Nintendo?

I didn't buy Open tennis because it seemed so phoned in so I hope they had enough time on this to make it special.
It's not playable but there is a big video trailer.

Except that wasn't you're original statement. I'm super happy that it's being localized too but this is more on them being starved for content than any tangible shift in their approach to what they localize.
Probably still translating, which explain the late release date. I guess they could have put on the show floor as the Japanese version, in which no would be able to read the text.

So pretty much Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire last year?
They phoned in the 3DS support last year bad.
If they played the Japanese version of GI#FE on Treehouse, they should have just put the JPN version on the floor.
They were starved for content for the N54 and Gamecube and didn't localize a lot of stuff.
It's disappointing, yet it was clear from the footage that we were provided with that the game's translation/localization is nowhere near completion. However, rest assured the game will be a focal point on Treehouse, so we'll be given a further look into the game. Sucks for those who attended, but gamers following E3 from the comforts of their own home really have nothing to be concerned about.
There's a difference between people who know Japanese demonstrating a game on stream and letting people with no knowledge whatsoever have at it on the show floor.
Do you mean the charge shots? Those have been in every Mario Tennis, even the last one. I think they're here, too (it was mentioned in the press release, at least). Unless you mean the Power Shots from Power Tennis, which no, those are gone.

I think it's because Nintendo is unwilling to put a big budget behind these titles now. Back on the Gamecube, they seemed to want everything Mario-related to have great presentation and gameplay yet the last couple of Mario sports titles in recent memory have been mediocre gameplay and very barebones (see: Mario Sports Mix on the Wii and Open Tennis).
I think, also, there's just not a lot you can really do with tennis outside of the modes they have offered for it since 64 and Power Tennis. Your basic tournament mode to unlock characters, VS mode, a quirky items-based mode using items from Mario Kart, and the mini-games where you hit tennis balls at piranha plants, paint walls with tennis balls, etc etc. An RPG mode on console is likely outside the scope of the game's budget or what Nintendo is willing to give them to do it and that's why even World Tour's "RPG" mode isn't what people wanted and even led to disappointment for that game despite how content rich it was and its online.
Maybe I'm wrong (I hope I am) but it really seems like because this is coming so soon they haven't added much at all and is why they're showing off something as uninteresting as the Mega Mushrooms mode -- a mode that may as well have been part of the items mode of past games. And even why they're... keeping the chance shots mechanic...
oooh, nice, Crunchy Roll time.
I don't know a single thing about this. But I don't think it's for me.
Hope i'm wrong though, but i'll find out later.
Fire Emblem actually does have parts translated in English. The only part they showed that wasn't translated was the My Castle stuff. It was only the voice acting that was still in Japanese.

LBX looks high quality. Don't know if I would ever play it or not but it looks really cool.

That is true I guess.
They generally have someone with each game though, they could explain the controls to people. I mean isn't the point of E3 to try out games before they release? Do not see retailers buying up copies of a game based on video alone.
