Also sometimes called Exciting Tennis, Konamic Tennis is OK in its presentation and basic mechanics, but with one gigantic weakness – you can’t seem to aim the ball manually with the D-pad either while serving or returning.
Given this flaw it’s below even Nintendo’s original Tennis in playability, so I can see why this never made it out of Japan. It’s also untranslated and only partially in English, enough to navigate around but you don’t get some of the finer points like team names and what might be stats.
