I've written about the Legacy vs. Quality debate before, but Mario Tennis wrinkles the conversation further.
Is this a solid tennis game? Yes.
Is it incredible? No.
Are other tennis games much better in terms of gameplay? Yes.
But DID THOSE GAMES GIVE US WALUIGI.
NO.
NO THEY DID NOT.
In my heart, I want to give this a 5. But really, I just want to give Waluigi every perfect score imaginable.
Mario Tennis was a ton of fun when it first released (and was my most-rented game from Blockbuster), but nothing special now. Waluigi, on the other hand, is forever great.
I know people have made Waluigi hype into a meme, but I've legitimately mained him in every game he's appeared in since 2000. Wah for life.
