In September 2016, the game was ported to PlayStation 4 via the PS2 Classics service. [2]

Gameplay

The game has 14 characters, 5 umpires, and 11 tennis courts. There are three different modes to choose from: Challenge Mode, Tennis with Everybody, and Training Mode. In Challenge, you play against computer-controlled opponents in order to unlock things like alternate costumes for characters and more courts to play on. In Tennis with Everybody, matches may be played with 1 to 4 players. The training mode lets players practice positioning and timing shots. Players may choose from service, volley, smash and general practices in this mode.

Few of the characters from the previous games of the series (both American and Japanese) make cameo appearances on the courts (usually only in Singles matches). Suzuki and Gloria return as being playable characters.

Reception

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [3] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 32 out of 40. [6]
