Mario Tennis Aces was without a doubt one of the biggest games of 2018 for Nintendo. It raced off to a hot start when it came out in June of last year, and as of the latest financial report, the game has sold 2.75 million units in just about a year. Which is impressive given the status of Mario Sports games (not including Mario Kart) before this.
But it seems as though Nintendo wants to do even MORE business with the game, because they’ve announced what they call a “Game Trial”.
For a limited time, #NintendoSwitchOnline members can experience the full #MarioTennis Aces game on #NintendoSwitch for free from 8/7 at 10am PT – 8/13 at 11:59pm PT!https://t.co/Yuxlbxs2rx pic.twitter.com/2nvEXH8mYN

This is an intriguing move, as it’ll let players have a full unrestricted view of the game, plus, since it’s been updated heavily since the release in 2018, the title has gotten a lot of improvements. Which, might entice more people to buy after the trial is over.
On that note, Nintendo also revealed:
From 8/7 – 8/20, #MarioTennis Aces will also be available to purchase for 30% off on #NintendoSwitch #eShop – and those who tried it with Game Trials can carry over their progress!
