Okay, so if you're into The Prince of Tennis, this GBA game is basically a love letter to the series. You pick your favorite character—Ryoma, Tezuka, whoever—and jump straight into matches that actually feel like the anime’s over-the-top style. The controls are simple at first (just tap A for basic shots), but then you realize there’s a surprising amount of strategy—timing those special moves right is way harder than it looks.

The sprite work is charmingly retro, with little details like characters’ signature poses when they pull off their super shots. I spent way too long just cycling through them in the character select screen. And yeah, the tournaments get brutal fast—CPU opponents don’t mess around after the first round. If you’ve got nostalgia for early 2000s anime sports games, this one’s a solid time capsule.
