Talk:Mario Tennis Open

Official name and release date
According to this, the game's official name should be Mario Tennis Open and to be released in May 20th. 00:01, 14 February 2012 (EST)

Let it put this on hold out for now until, Nintendo themselves confirm this.

Okay. 00:11, 14 February 2012 (EST) GameFly deleted the site. Maybe it's just a rumor... 08:00, 16 February 2012 (EST)

Mario Tennis Open is the official title!! Nintendo Wii and EA 06:24, 22 February 2012 (EST)

So it's not a rumor. I wonder how GameFly got the info... 03:44, 23 February 2012 (EST)

First Mario Game to use Nintendo Network - MTO or MK7
Take a look at this link. Here it says, "As those of you who have enjoyed playing Mario Kart 7 that we launched late last year should know, its online competition mode includes the system called “Communities.” Each player can create his or her own online “Community” and decide the rules and conditions of the races to be conducted there, and anyone who enters the designated “Community number,” can join to enjoy the matches there. With that system, the company is offering a new kind of network service, which is different from the network services Nintendo has been offering under the name of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

For “Mario Kart 7,” we have already started using as the name of this new network service… …“Nintendo Network” Service" So should Mario Kart 7 be the first Mario game to use Nintendo Network? Please reply. 03:42, 23 February 2012 (EST)

Yes, Mario Kart 7 uses the Nintendo Network. Here is proof! I almost wanted to say it was very obvious, but it isn't. For some reason, in the American version of Mario Kart 7, when you try to connect the game to the internet it will say: Connecting to the Internet. However in the European version of Mario Kart 7, the game will say: Connecting to Nintendo Network. This confirms Mario Kart 7 does use the Nintendo Network. It is also the first Nintendo game to use the Nintendo Network, if I am not making a mistake.

Thanks, I've updated the Trivia section on the Mario Kart 7 page. 21:56, 24 February 2012 (EST)

Confused...............
I'm confused....... How will MTO use the Nintendo Network service? Will u be able to download new courts or Characters maybe? Please Reply ASAT0---
 * We probably don't know yet. There's not enough info as of today.

Already released
The sources say the game should be released on May, but now it's April, so we should mark it as recently released. Shall we? -- Super  Fa  mi  co  m™   64  13:56, 3 April 2012 (EDT)
 * You are aware that May comes after April
 * I'm so freakin' dumb. --[[File:SFCLogo.gif]] Super  Fa  mi  co  m™   64  15:30, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

More details
In this japanese source reveals more info related to the game, including the amount of the character roster, which confirms that Luma and Baby Peach will appearing the game.


 * This site is like a rumor and not confirmed. No trailers and images. Baby Peach without Baby Mario aren't happen. Manasword (Talk)

Well snice this is japanese product site (which offer side info) that's been confirmed.


 * This japanese site is looks like inserted false information. and offically not announced. Manasword (Talk)

I'd wait until a more reliable source pops up, because I'm not sold that Baby Peach can be in without Baby Mario. 23:43, 20 April 2012 (EDT)

Luma and Baby Peach are confirmed. http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=175934

File:BabypeachMTO.png pretty much sold the deal there. Of course, a screenshot of the Lumas is still lacking. 07:56, 21 April 2012 (EDT)

File:Mtoluma.png Here, I've uploaded a picture of Luma, taken from Mario Party Legacy. MarioComix 03:08, 22 April 2012 (EDT)

This is really cool,but does that mean we can expect other infant characters?(baby mario,luigi,daisy,etc.) Or even Rosalina? –RosalinaSilverCrown

It is very likely that at the very least Baby Mario will be in, but that is just speculation. We will have to wait until the other two characters (or one, if they count Mii as one of the 16) are confirmed -- firebrick purplebluegoldbluegreen firebrick

It seems that Dry Bowser has been confirmed to be one of the sixteen characters. (where are they getting all of these characters? Could this actually be the official roster?) ~RosalinaSilverCrown

I have a news. Sorry for Rosalina fans. The last character is Baby Mario, source seems to be Famitsu. But there is no screenshot provided (plus Famitsu have inserted incorrect information recently), so we still need to wait for official announcement. --NM4000T4 20:26, 26 April 2012 (EDT)

hmm, not surprised. May I have a link or something? -- firebrick purplebluegoldbluegreen firebrick

The link is the same one for the Galaxy Dome, i believe its called Mario Fan Site, but its in Japanese. Its on their main page, my quesion is if we add Baby Mario to characters considering we've use the site already, showing that we trust it. Ill hold off though

Here are more details, it seems that Famitsu put each unlockable character's artwork and performance, but the problem is that no screenshot. --NM4000T4 19:12, 27 April 2012 (EDT)
 * Huh? All I see on one of these links is Baby Mario's name.
 * If you can read Japanese you will understand that they are talking about the contents in the Famitsu. --NM4000T4 19:38, 27 April 2012 (EDT)

Well you said it yourself, this website has inserted false info. before. Plus, I doubt there will only be 16 characters in the game. Since when does Nintendo give out every playable character before release? P.S. thanks for sparing my feelings about no Rosalina :'( ,but I still have my hopes. After all,every character needs a partner,and who better than Rosalina for a Luma? ~♪RosalinaSilverCrown♪

There will be 16, on the site there are only 16 icons. -- firebrick purplebluegoldbluegreen firebrick

What do you mean there are only 16 icons? I just looked on the official site. There is nothing about the amount of characters anywhere on there.~RosalinaSilverCrown

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/agaj/character/010.html -- firebrick purplebluegoldbluegreen firebrick

OK. I see it now. I guess we'll have to wait to find out the last character until the game comes out.~RosalinaSilverCrown

Actually,the video I just watched said 16 characters and more to unlock! I don't know exactly what this means or could mean,but it fills me with a certain hope.P.S.pleeeease somebody come to my talk page! I have a super serious question to ask!~--[[User:RosalinaSilverCrown| 18:11, 1 May 2012 (EDT)RosalinaSilverCrown

16 Characters?
I'm not sure, but already 16 characters are confirmed, but since Baby Peach is playable, then Baby Mario should be too. Why is eveyone so sure there are 16 characters anyways?


 * NVM

The characters we have listed are unlockables,and the ones we don't know yet are probably going to come playable. At least,that is what the video I just waytched said. ~RosalinaSilverCrown

Actually there may be more than 16 characters. If you watch the trailer on the European Mario Tennis Open site, you will notice the trailer says "16 CHARACTERS AND MORE TO UNLOCK!", which means that there will be more than 16 characters. Nintendo confirmed that some characters can be unlocked in the game and some can be unlocked by scanning QR codes. So what I think (and that is only speculation) it that the players starts of with 12 characters and can unlock 4 more in the game, but by scanning QR codes, he/she can unlock even more characters. But this is not confirmed and only what I speculate. What I just want to point out is the fact that 16 may not be the minimum of playable characters in Mario Tennis Open.

Thank you, for explaining what i have been trying to say this whole time. :·) ~♪RosalinaSilverCrown

Baby Mario?
According to the source that lists him playable, it lists all the confirmed characters of now except for Baby Peach. Isn't that a wee bit fishy? Could it be a typo?

Not a very reliable source if you ask me....I'd wait until we have a screenshot of him to add him to the list.

There is no need to wait. Nintendo of Europe confirmed Baby Mario is playable. Source: Nintendo volleys even more features for Mario Tennis Open

More characters
Arend told me, that the European trailer said 16 CHARACTERS AVAILABLE AND MORE TO UNLOCK so it might be true there are more characters but that the now confirmed chars are just the starting roster. This is why I think since the MORE part in the sentence is a little confusing.
