The Story Behind Super Tennis
Super Tennis is a 1991 tennis video game developed by Tose and published by Tonkin House for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Nintendo localized the game and released it outside Japan.
How Super Tennis Plays
Nintendo localized the game and released it outside Japan. The game itself features three different modes: Doubles mode, World Circuit mode, and Singles mode, in which the player competes against a human or chosen computer opponent. Super Tennis takes time to master, as the game itself neither tells the player how to play, nor gives them any knowledge on how the many different playable characters subtly differ in play style.
There are four minor tournaments and four major tournaments, each taking place on one of three surfaces that each have different effects on how the ball bounces; the tournaments are based on real-life counterparts and include nearly every world tournament in existence at that current time. Each playable tennis player has their own talents on the court. Super Tennis is a 1991 tennis video game developed by Tose and published by Tonkin House for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
Why Players Still Load It Up
They were impressed by the attention to detail, like how ball runners get the ball off of the court whenever it gets caught in the net. Computer and Video Games editors said that Super Tennis is "more fun than should be allowed" when a set is played against a friend. They commented that Super Tennis is superb and it does not have as many features compared to Smash Tennis and praised the gameplay as "unbelievably slick".
IGN ranked the game 84th in their "Top 100 SNES Games of All Time" list. Super Tennis was included as one of the titles in the 2010 book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die. According to Famitsu, Super Tennis sold 7,095 copies in its first week on the market and 27,930 copies during its lifetime in Japan.
