I do have a copy of Mario Power Tennis for the Gamcube, but every time I play it I just long for the original N64 Mario Tennis, which was waaaaay better. That's quickly moved near the top of my list of games I want to see on the VC.

The Power Shots totally ruined the game play and turned what used to be an accessible skill-based series of matches into egregious button-mashing. Removed such a huge part of the intricate balancing of some of the characters that it was nigh-unforgivable. Online play might have made a difference, but alas...

Any else have any thoughts on this?
