Andy Murray and Steffi Graf are just finishing off their opponents. They're against Tim Henman and Sue Barker off Question of Sport in the mixed doubles finals at Wimbledon, and suddenly The King of England Cliff Richard stands up and starts singing.

Nintendo looks to raise a racquet on Switch, with a new sports game that features online multiplayer and a story campaign.

The core tennis action is excellent and the extra abilities are better balanced than most recent games; Full suite of online options and an enjoyable simplified mode

The special moves can still be intrusive and frustrating; Story campaign is repetitive and has a very uneven difficulty curve

A fantastically arcade styled single and multi-player tennis experience offering fun for those who are fans of the sport or not.

Overall, Mario Tennis Aces does a good job with its Online Mode, and Adventure Mode ends up being a good starting point for the title. If Camelot does some updating on changing options and giving gamers more freedom, this could give the game a lot more life in the future.

Mario Tennis Aces is the best sports game for Nintendo Switch, offering enough in-depth action to keep you swinging.

Deceptively strategic, satisfying gameplay; Tight conventional controls; Lots of multiplayer options

Online performance is inconsistent, especially on Wi-Fi; Awkward motion controls in Swing Mode

Mario Tennis Aces is a move in the right direction for the series and is a great way for Nintendo to show that they're taking even their secondary franchises seriously this console generation.

Adventure mode makes a welcome return after being absent in Ultra Smash; Local multiplayer has a ton of options on how many Switch consoles and players can join; Added gameplay elements enrich the gameplay

Multiplayer options concerning match length are missing; Tags
