New Mario Tennis game promises some serious racketeering

Longtime gamers will know that Mario Tennis for the Gameboy Color was the best Mario sports title ever released, and honest-to-god Tennis RPG adventure, letting players advance their character in rank and skill by competing various tennis challenges. That's why we're hoping some of those same elements make it into this latest portable iteration: Mario Tennis Open. If it's just another sports title with Mario characters… well, we might pass. Then again, our 3DS library is feeling kind of lonely, maybe some solid multiplayer would be worth the price?
