Nintendo has confirmed the European release date for the re-tooled Wii version of Mario Power Tennis.
An announcement from Ninty tells us it will be out on Friday March 6th - one month after its partner in Wii rebirth, Pikmin.
In December, Nintendo stated that the game would be out in March but gave no firm date.
If you've not come across it before - the original GameCube version of the title has been tarted up for use with the Wii control system. Ninty tells us, "The NEW PLAY CONTROL! Mario Power Tennis, sports different replay camera options and a two-player split screen that will be familiar to fans of Tennis on Wii Sports.
"But the biggest advance is the ability to use your Wii Remote to play a wide range of different shots, from overhand strikes to backhands – and, of course the famous Power Shots, which are different for each character!. The game also offers levels of control types which increase in difficulty ensuring players of all levels of gameplay experience can enjoy the game."

Because of lag-issues.
playing it locally, the swinging with the Wiimote will allready have a small lag because of all the vector math being processed and send trough. Adding to internet lag, and it might have gotten a bit unplayable. Possibly why Sega Super Star Tennis on the Wii also didn't had a online mode but the other two consoles versions did.
