Mario and his sporting chums are storming Europe in time for Wimbledon and the Olympics with a release date for Mario Tennis 3DS.
Confirmed as Mario Tennis Open, it'll be a brand new game that builds up on the success of the past console and handheld editions with gyroscopic motion controls, shortcut panels for shots on the touch screen (much like Street Fighter IV) and a robust online feature.
StreetPass, Local multiplayer for up to four will be available, plus a ranked online play will track performance and pump up those valuable statistics.
The game is out May 24th in Japan, and a day later on the 25th over on European shores.
