Mario Tennis Open is a more stripped, match-focused entry than some of Camelot's more RPG-tinted handheld work, but the swing feel is still strong. It knows the value of clarity on a portable system and rarely wastes time.

StreetPass support and customizable Miis pushed the game toward the social-portable habits Nintendo was chasing hard on 3DS.

Why it matters

It matters because it kept the Mario Tennis line active with a solid, unfussy release instead of letting the series go cold.
