There have been a lot of surprise titles on the Nintendo Switch, both in terms of arrivals, but also, in terms of selling really well. And one of the biggest surprises has been that of Mario Tennis Aces. For while this is the latest of the “Mario Sports Titles”, Nintendo really took their time to make this one special, and people have really reacted to it positively, as the game has sold millions in a short span of time, and it’s still selling.
Now, Nintendo is doing patches to improve the game and continue adding to it via new content and challenges. They’ve now announced that the next Mario Tennis Aces patch will arrive on November 30th. Here are some of the patch notes:
- Changed all current five-round tournaments to three rounds. Made it easier to match players of similar ability by increasing number of players with similar progress in the tournament.
- Doubles Class will be newly available in online tournament mode starting in December. Doubles Class will be a four-player doubles match with standard rules, including use of Energy.
- Doubles teams can be formed with two people sharing a Switch, with a friend online, or by matching with a stranger online of similar ability.
- The second Co-op Challenge, Yoshi’s Ring Shot, will begin. Co-op Challenge is a mode for online play which will only be held for a certain period of time.
- Boo Hunter, which is played with one Nintendo Switch system, has been added to Swing Mode. This game can be played in Co-op Mode or Competitive Mode. Up to four players (including a COM player) can play.
Mario Tennis Aces joins Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as some of the best-selling titles on the Nintendo Switch, and that might be added to with Super Mario Bros U Deluxe when it arrives in January.
