GBA Version

Check this out. Was it actually available for GBA or is that a mistake?

It is also called Mario Power Tennis, but its basically the same game as Mario Tennis: Power Tour. [1] Chiefmartinez (talk) 01:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Mario Power Tennis/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

OK, I should be done reading the article soon. First, some spelling/grammar.

• "Power Shots". → "Power Shots."
  • Are you sure about this? I thougt that the full stop only had to be within the marks when the content was part of a whole sentence.
• 81 percent → 81%
  • Per Wikipedia: Manual of Style, this is acceptable I think.
• types of tennis court → types of tennis courts
  • I'm not too sure. There are multiple types "plural" of court "singular".
• physical contact with it. → physical contact with them.
• categorised → categorized
  • As the first/only major contributor, British English is acceptable in this article.
• equalled → equaled
  • As above
• techincal → technical

• The central mode of the game is "Tournament mode", which comprises a set of events of cumulative difficulty which must be completed successfully to unlock playable characters. These can be completed either in "doubles" or "singles" matches is awkward, try The central mode of the game is "Tournament mode", which comprises a set of events with accumulating difficulty.

• "Exhibition mode", which is the standard mode of play → "Exhibition mode", the standard mode of play

• All of the characters are categorised into six categories → All of the characters are categorized into six groups
• These moves, which are accompanied with an animation each time they are triggered, are powerful moves that incorporate → These moves, which are accompanied with an animation each time they are triggered, incorporate
• These can only be triggered occasionally in the match → They can only be triggered occasionally in the match
• but will usually result in retrieving or scoring a point, depending on the type of shot chosen. This sentence doesn't make sense to me, I assume by "retrieving" you mean stopping the opponent from scoring?
• Also, I assume that this article lacks a "Plot" or "Story" section because the game doesn't really have a plot?

Overall, everything else looks great. Everything is referenced nicely, etc. So just fix the issues that I have presented, and I think everything will be good to go. Artichoker^[talk] 16:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the game doesn't have a story to it. If I haven't replied to a point, that means I've fixed it accordingly. Thanks for taking the time to review the article. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 18:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I have passed the article. Artichoker^[talk] 18:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Boxart

I propose that we change the boxart to the NEW PLAY CONTROL! version. The other articles that have NEW PLAY CONTROL! games have had their boxarts changed, so I think this one needs it as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.227.33 (talk) 19:19, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Most haven't. I'm not sure—it may give the false impression that this article is based predominantly on this version, rather than the original rendition, which is associated heavily with all of the article sections. It's probably best to raise with the Video games Wikiproject. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 19:32, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

What The Hell?

New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis doesn't come out in America until March. So how the hell did X-Play get and review already? Last week they gave it a 2 out of 5. I'm not complaining about the score, I'm just wondering how they got it two months in advance? I know most reviewers get their games really early, but reviewing a March game in January/February? What's going on?Zabbethx (talk) 16:44, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, unless this is about the article specifically, you should not really post here. However, such information will be useful when we construct a paragraph relating to the reception of the Wii game. As for your question, I honestly have no idea—maybe it was based on an exclusive with Nintendo of America? Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 17:46, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeh sorry about that, I guess I got a little carried away. Anyways, what I really wanted to know was wheather or not we should put such an early review in the article or wait until more come in.Zabbethx (talk) 15:20, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Early information could be used now, or we could wait later until it's been released in all regions. To be honest, I'd opt for the latter, as adding information as it comes in drips and drabs usually leads to excessive detail. It would probably be best to create a concise section covering the gameplay, development, and reception of the game rather than having the info spread across the whole article.
