Gaming media dropped the ball
While scrolling Reddit this morning I came across a post that states Nintendo has never mentioned May 24, for the Mario Tennis demo. According to this Nintendo of Australia article, I believe this to be the case.
Every other stress test that we have seen, from games like Splatoon and ARMS, were for the weekend and that was it. It’s looking like Mario Tennis Aces will be no different.
It is apparent that Switch owners are very excited this game because of the eshop getting hammered with traffic last night at 9 pm PST 12 EST. Trying to navigate the store was impossible. While it’s nice to have all the hype for the game it is unfortunate that news outlets (including this one) dropped the ball. Well, this is awkward.
One more week until we take to the courts with Mario and friends. What will you be playing until the tournament starts? Let me know in the comments.
