Ports

New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis

Mario Power Tennis for the New Play Control!

This game is a port of Mario Power Tennis for the Nintendo GameCube. For the Wii version of Mario Power Tennis (via the New Play Control! lineup), the controls are not like the Nintendo Gamecube version, since the game makes use of the Wii's motion controls. This version includes a tutorial movie to demonstrate how to use the Wii Remote in this game. Players can choose to play with the Wii Remote only, or with the Wii Remote/Nunchuk combination for advanced control of playable character participants.
