Mario Tennis Aces - Pre-Launch Online Tournament (Nintendo Switch)「Demo」

Update - Now live on the UK eShop, too!

The demo is now live on the American eShop so you can download it from there. It isn't yet up on the British eShop but I presume it will be shortly if you're patient enough.

Now, I've tested the demo and can say that the only things accessible right now are tips on how to play the game. You can't play against the computer so I think this feature will only be available whence the tournament goes online, too.

If you were hoping to play unlimited amount of times, you can't but Nintendo may release an offline demo like they did for ARMS.

Mario Tennis Aces' demo is only 392 MB large.

Game's Description

Pre-launch Online Tournament**

Mark your calendars! The Mario Tennis Aces Pre-launch Online Tournament is on the way, allowing you to try the game before launch. Simply download the trial version of the software (coming late May) from Nintendo eShop, and hop online during the times below:

A brand new Mario Tennis game is bringing a new level of skill and competition to Nintendo Switch: Mario Tennis Aces!

Mario steps onto the court in classy tennis garb for intense rallies against a variety of characters in full-blown tennis battles. There are more than 15 playable characters, each with their own distinct characteristics!

New wrinkles in tennis gameplay will challenge your ability to read an opponent’s position and stroke to determine which shot will give you the advantage. The game offers a refined approach to tennis gameplay, focusing on deep strategic payoffs, and non-stop, split-second strategies.

And this time the game adds the first story mode since the Mario Tennis: Power Tour game on Game Boy Advance, offering a new flavour of tennis gameplay, with a variety of missions, boss battles and more.

The varied play styles of the Nintendo Switch system allow up to four players* to step onto the court together – anytime, anywhere!

Once you connect online**, you can play a match with your friends or other players. Events and online tournaments will be held frequently, allowing you to compete against other players.

There’s also Swing mode, which allows you to use your Joy-Con like a tennis racket. This mode is perfect when you want to play the game casually with your friends and family, or just to get your body moving.
