Mario Tennis Aces is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 8,000 for a brand new and sealed Nintendo Switch game card. Developed by Camelot and published by Nintendo, Mario Tennis Aces is an arcade tennis game for one to four players, with a story adventure, tournaments and online matches. Nintendo lists the game at 2.4GB, small enough for any Switch model to hold alongside a full library. Pick up Mario Tennis Aces at our first-floor shop in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to your home or office.
Designed for families, school-age children and friends who share a console, Mario Tennis Aces turns short breaks into competitive matches. Many Switch owners in Kenya have party games but nothing quick and skill-based to settle who is best in the house. This game answers that with simple controls beginners learn fast, plus deeper techniques such as Zone Shots and Trick Shots that reward practice. University students at Strathmore and USIU tell us it is a hostel favourite, because two players can share one Switch with a Joy-Con each and start a match in seconds.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops chase only the latest releases, Mascom International keeps proven Nintendo titles like Mario Tennis Aces on the shelf at a steady price. Buyers throughout Kenya report that it gets more play than many larger games, because a match fits into a few spare minutes. It also works offline, so a matatu ride or a KPLC outage does not stop a game in handheld mode. Visit our store to see the box, or message us on WhatsApp and we will bring Mario Tennis Aces to you, paid on arrival.
Common Questions About the Mario Tennis Aces
What is the Mario Tennis Aces Nintendo Switch price in Kenya?
Mario Tennis Aces costs KSh 8,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD as a factory-sealed Nintendo Switch game card. The price includes our 6-month warranty on the card and pay-on-arrival delivery to every county in Kenya. Nothing else is needed to start playing offline, though online matches require a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership. Among the Switch games we stock, it is KSh 700 more than Super Mario Party at KSh 7,300 and the same price as Bayonetta 3.
Should I buy Mario Tennis Aces or Super Mario Party for family game nights?
Choose Mario Tennis Aces for head-to-head sport where skill grows with practice, and Super Mario Party for a board game of mini-games where luck plays a larger part. At Mascom International, Mario Tennis Aces costs KSh 8,000 and Super Mario Party costs KSh 7,300. Tennis rewards timing and tactics, so older children and adults enjoy it most. Super Mario Party evens out the field, which suits mixed ages and relatives who rarely pick up a controller.
Can I play Mario Tennis Aces online in Kenya on Safaricom or Airtel?
Yes, Mario Tennis Aces supports online matches for two to four players over a stable Kenyan connection, including Safaricom and Airtel Kenya. Each player needs a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership on their Nintendo Account. Online tennis is sensitive to lag, so home fibre or a strong 4G hotspot works better than a weak signal. The story mode, tournaments and local matches all play fully offline, so you can keep practising when the network drops or your monthly bundle runs out.
Who should buy Mario Tennis Aces, and who should skip it?
Buy Mario Tennis Aces if you want a quick competitive game for two to four people, or a solo story with boss battles that teaches the controls. It suits children, parents and friends who like short matches. Skip it if you want a long story-led adventure, since versus play is the main draw. Solo players after a deeper campaign should look at the Batman Arkham Trilogy at KSh 7,500 for older players, or Pokemon Shield at KSh 7,800 for all ages.
How many players can play Mario Tennis Aces on one Switch?
Up to four people can play Mario Tennis Aces on one Switch in doubles matches, according to Nintendo. Two players can start straight away by sharing the console's two attached Joy-Con, one each held sideways. For four players you need four controllers in total, such as two extra Joy-Con or Pro Controllers. Local wireless play links two to four Switch consoles in the same room, and online play connects two to four players across the internet.
What is the story mode in Mario Tennis Aces?
Mario Tennis Aces includes an adventure story mode, the first in the series since the Game Boy Advance era, according to Nintendo. You guide Mario through missions and boss battles, learning Zone Shots, Trick Shots and racket management along the way. Each stage introduces one skill, so the mode works as a full tutorial before you take on friends. It plays fully offline, which makes it a good solo option for evenings when nobody else wants a match.
Does Mario Tennis Aces support motion controls?
Yes, Mario Tennis Aces includes Swing Mode, where you hold a single Joy-Con and swing it like a real tennis racket. It suits casual players and younger children who find button controls harder at first. Swing Mode needs detachable Joy-Con, so on a Switch Lite you would have to pair separate Joy-Con controllers. Most competitive players move to standard button controls once they learn the timing for Zone Shots and blocks.
Does Mario Tennis Aces work on the Nintendo Switch 2?
Yes, Nintendo lists Mario Tennis Aces as compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, with the same 2.4GB storage figure as on the original Switch. It also runs on the Switch OLED and the Switch Lite, with the Lite limited to handheld play. The game card reads in any of these consoles, so your copy moves with you if you upgrade later. Mascom International can advise on Switch 2 compatibility for other titles in our range. Online play on Switch 2 still needs a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.

Players and Multiplayer
- One to four players on one console — Nintendo lists local play for up to four people in doubles on a single Switch.
- Local wireless for two to four — several Switch consoles in one room can link up for group matches without any internet.

Storage and Install

- Plays from the game card — insert the card and the game starts, with no large install standing between you and your first match.
- Updates download when online — free updates install over Wi-Fi and take extra space, so keep some room free on the console.
- Free character updates — later free updates added more playable characters, downloaded once the Switch connects to the internet.
- Save data on the console — progress saves to system memory rather than the card, so cloud backup protects it against loss.
