	Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This game utilises the Transfer Pak to transfer data to and from the N64 game.
		The RPG mode is not featured in the N64 title, but a similar game mode appears in Mario Golf on the Game Boy Color.
		The RPG feature received acclaim from critics; the game was given 9 out of 10 on IGN, an unusually high score for a Game Boy Color game.

	GameSpy.com - Review
		The game uses a lot of bright colors for the courts, but it is lacking in detail.
		While tennis does not have a whole lot of flash as a sport, it can make an incredible basis for a video game if done well.
		WTA Tour Tennis tries to be a "hip" tennis game, unfortunately it falls flat on its face.

	GameSpy:
		Nintendo's portable game system, the Game Boy, debuted in 1989, and by 1990 people were already predicting its demise.
		Game Boy's sound chip allowed it to produce excellent (for the time) stereo music and sound effects, which could be enoyed in privacy thanks to the inclusion of stereo headphones.
		The $109 Game Boy debuted in late 1989 with five titles to choose from, Super Mario Land, Baseball, Alleyway, Tennis, and the pack-in game, Tetris.

	IGN: Tennis Preview
		The game was playable in the arcades a couple years before in the double-monitor "Vs." units where two players could challenge each other, each person on one side of the machine.
		The NES game features singles and doubles options...but for the GBA, the game's doubles mode is disabled, since the original NES game required two players on the same team to take advantage of this feature.
		Because the game sits resident in the Game Boy Advance memory, if players turn off the system, the game's wiped out from the system; players will have to re-download the game to the system to play it on the GBA again.

	Mario Tennis Game Boy Colour Game Review
		A game where you will be penalized if you return the ball ahead of the service line and the art of the serve is often the deciding factor in a winning game.
		Yes, six games, this is not a handheld you can use to pass the time between bus stops, but is best saved for long family road trips.
		Other extras in the game include new characters for the N64 version that are revealed when you use the N64 Transfer Pak to bring both versions of the game together, a neat reward for those who spend heavy on Nintendo products.

	Davis Cup Tennis Review - Game Boy Advance
		The quick game allows you to select your opponent and go one on one, whereas the Davis Cup is more "real", and you are subject to the various teams as they progress.
		Tennis is an ideal sport title for a small screen and limited processor ability.
		Tennis on a game console is not new, but they have done a good job with it here.

	GAF - Review - Davis Cup Tennis (Game Boy Advance)
		The game's audio effects are equally impressive during matches, with the announcer signalling faults and points properly, but the presentation suffers outside of gameplay.
		The game's basic mechanics are similar to those in Sega's Virtua Tennis; exact placement of the player and timing for striking the ball aren't necessary.
		In an actual game of tennis, strategy plays a huge factor; how to counter an opponent's serve, where to hit the ball so as to throw the other player off balance, these are both factors in a game that has several nuances.

	Get Into The Game - Mario Tennis: Power Tour for Game Boy Advance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The latest example of this phenomenon is Mario Tennis: Power Tour, a rousing tennis game for the Game Boy Advance that's thick with bells and whistles in every regard.
		Mario Tennis: Power Tour is, once again, a tale of two kids chasing their tennis dreams, with Mario and crew waiting for them at the top.
		Instead, what they've done is build upon the earlier Mario Tennis Game Boy Color game by upgrading the graphics and audio, expanding the single-player role-playing mode, increasing the selection of characters and minigames, and, to top it all off, incorporating gameplay aspects that were recently introduced in Mario Power Tennis for the GameCube.

	WTA Tour Tennis Review for Game Boy Advance - Gaming Age
		Konami is the first to take the tennis dip on the Game Boy Advance, enlisting the help of the WTA to craft a half decent portable tennis title that takes itself seriously enough to be considered a simulation, but obviously aiming to a slightly younger demographic with its cartoonish depiction of the sport.
		Konami obviously didn’t have taking advantage of the GBA hardware in mind when they were developing WTA Tour Tennis; as while the visuals are more than adequate, the only reason they look improved over anything the Game Boy Color could handle is because of an increased color palette.
		The overall look of the game is acceptable, though, with the most lacking areas falling under the tennis courts that look exactly the same, no matter what country you select to be in.

	Virtua Tennis for Game Boy Advance - Virtua Tennis GBA - Virtua Tennis Game Boy Advance Game
		The addition of light role-playing elements to the otherwise standard golf gameplay doesn't always mesh particularly well, but the game is otherwise put together well enough that such minor design peculiarities are easy to overlook.
		Virtua Tennis: World Tour is the PSP incarnation of Sega's Virtua Tennis series.
		Tennis fans should be in heaven after playing Virtua Tennis.

	Silicon Fusion >> News >> First screens of Virtua Tennis on Game Boy Advance
		With the Virtua Tennis series already being a hit on the Dreamcast and recently making the leap to PlayStation 2, Sega are hoping to generate a similar level of success with a Game Boy Advance version, which is set to hit European shores later this year.
		The game's simplistic control system should suit the handheld particularly well, and a pseudo-3D engine is being used to retain the 'behind the player' viewpoint of the original titles.
		Unfortunately, we have little information on the game modes that will exist in the handheld version, but these first screenshots hint that some of the mini-games from the Dreamcast and PS2 versions are being ported, which hopefully means that the handheld version will contain the excellent World Tour mode from the original titles.

	Barnes & Noble.com - PC & Video Games: Mario Tennis - Used -- Nintendo of America - Game Boy
		It is guaranteed to work on your Game Boy Color video game console and may not include a box or instruction manual.
		The screen may be smaller, but Mario Tennis is every bit as fun on Game Boy Color as it is on Nintendo 64.
		The play control is still awesome and the tennis action is as fast-paced as ever, but the Game Boy version features a rich RPG-style approach to the gameplay.

	Gaming Target - Game Boy: Virtua Tennis - Review
		If you have any video tennis experience at all, you will be able to excel in each of the gameplay modes.
		Set up as part of the World Tour portion of the game, wherein you must bring your player up from the bottom of the ranks, the mini-games are a series of drill that you use to hone your player's skills so that they can compete with the best.
		Virtua Tennis just doesn't live up to the quality of play that was established on the Dreamcast or would be expected from a game that bears the likeness of the Williams sisters.

	GameStats: Tennis-e
		The game designed for the NES is extremely cut and dry, with only the bare gameplay necessities: forehand and backhand shots, with the ability to put straight or lob shots on the other player's court.
		Since this game is only a single player outing (no link cable support), it's only a one-on-one challenge against the computer opponent.
		The original NES game featured two-player doubles, with both players on the same team...the only version that put player vs. player was an arcade edition using a machine that featured two screens, one for each person.

	Game Boy Advance ::: Advanced Media Network - news, reviews, media
		Mario's sports games are titles that should not be taken seriously when compared to real-life sports simulations; and obviously, the same applies to the latest title in the series: Camelot's Mario Tennis: Power Tour.
		In the game, you will be able to pit characters from the Mario world against each other in both single, and double matches.
		There's no drama, there's no laughter (okay, so there is a bit of humor); this is just the story of a boy (or girl) who plays one match after another, until he/she's the best tennis player in the academy.

		Its work on Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64 was superb, and it carried right over to the Game Boy version.
		This is great game I have had it since i was 11 or 10 and now im 15 and i just started playing it again.
		Although the game is awesame, it doesn't do too well graphically speaking and seeing the character you made in 3D and playing with it against your friends makes Mario Tennis the best Multiplayer game ever.
