Item Description

Gene Siskel, of Siskel & Ebert fame, once told a national television audience that Super Tennis was his favorite video game, and it is easy to see how it won over people who rarely picked up a controller. Developed by Tose and brought to North America by Nintendo in 1991, it was among the first sports games on the Super Nintendo, and its quick, responsive rallies made it a showcase for what the new console could do.

The controls are the secret. Different face buttons produce different racket shots while the control pad steers both your player and the direction of the ball, so a rally becomes a quick exchange of decisions about placement, pace and spin rather than simple timing. The courts use Mode 7 for a clean, sweeping view of the action, and the game offers three playing surfaces, each changing how the ball bounces and rewarding a different style of play. The players are cute, compact caricatures of the top professionals of the era, and each one has distinct strengths that you discover as you play, since the game leaves you to figure them out on your own.

Singles lets you face a friend or pick a CPU opponent, while doubles lets two players team up against the computer or build teams with CPU partners. The long-haul mode is the World Circuit, a season of sequential tours where you earn ranking points across four minor and four major tournaments modeled on real events, all in pursuit of the number one spot.

Critics loved it at the time. Mean Machines called it the best tennis game available, Computer and Video Games said multiplayer sets were “more fun than should be allowed,” and it still turns up on lists of the best Super Nintendo games. For anyone who wants a sports cartridge that holds up for two-player sessions, this is an easy pick to slot into a Super Nintendo shelf.
