Mario Tennis Gbc

Looks like we guessed right a few issues back when we first saw Mario Tennis for the N64--a Game Boy Color edition is on the way, due this November in Japan and early next year in the U.S. It's basically to tennis what Mario Golf was to golf--lots of easy-to-pick-up, fun-to-play, very arcadey tennis matches (you only use the A button) strung together with light RPG aspects. Also like Mario Golf, you can build your character up after you win games in areas like power, control and running speed, plus open up four new characters in the N64 game by using the Transfer Pak (see screens at right). Mario Tennis even supports the link cable for two-player games. Camelot (the same company that did Mario Golf) is working on this one for Nintendo, so we're expecting great things.
