After seven years of sitting on the sidelines, Mario and crew are once again dusting off the ole racket for a brand new tennis outing from the developers at Camelot. We already got the chance to check out the online multiplayer and special mini-games, as well as get used to the new controls with the game's debut at this year's Game Developer's Conference. Now that we finally have the full retail version in the office, and have spent the weekend brushing up on our tennis skills.

IGN Nintendo's own Rich George has already begun plowing his way through match after match of Mushroom Kingdom madness. Keep an eye out for his full review in the coming days - but in the meantime, take a look at the footage below for a small taste of what Open brings to the table.
