Play David Crane's Amazing Tennis (Japan) Online

Game Overview

David Crane’s Amazing Tennis on SNES is one of those games that just feels good to play—like the developers knew exactly how to make pixelated tennis weirdly satisfying. The ball has this perfect weight to it, and the sound when you nail a shot? Pure arcade crackle. It’s not trying to be a serious sim, so don’t expect Wimbledon-level realism. Instead, you get these bouncy, slightly exaggerated animations that make every serve and volley feel like a cartoon showdown.

I love how fast matches are—no drawn-out rallies, just quick back-and-forth action that keeps you tapping buttons like a maniac. The doubles mode is where it really shines, though. There’s something hilarious about watching your tiny sprite flail across the court while the opponent whiffs an easy return. And yeah, it’s a Japanese release, so the menus are a bit of a guessing game at first, but who needs instructions when the gameplay’s this intuitive?

If you’ve played Super Tennis or Mario Tennis, this one’s like their scrappier, less-polished cousin—but in the best way possible. It’s got that early ‘90s SNES charm, right down to the chirpy sound effects and borderline ridiculous character designs. Perfect for when you want something light, fast, and just a little bit silly. Grab a friend (or go solo) and see how long it takes before you’re yelling at the screen.
