I noticed there wasn't a thread for this, and since I'd put together this thread already on another site for the info... or lack within there of that we have for this game, I'd put it here too
Release date is Nov 20, this will be the fourth game in the Mario Tennis series and the 3rd new Console entry, along with the first console entry in 11 years. Developed by Camelot, and always has some really good looking character animations, and the ultra active and moving support crews are a cool touch as well
Gameplay Modes: As of yet little is known, beyond there being normal tennis, and a giant mushroom mode, although it's unknown whether or not Giant Shroom mode is in fact part of a more diverse item mode.
As of right now one course has been shown, being the standard tournament stadium, however the most recent trailer has shown a new feature that may be applicable to all stadiums. That is optional attributes, unlike previous Mario Tennis that limited each stadium to having one primary course physics attribute(slippery ice, standard court, sticky ground, etc), it now appears that you can select a custom modifier for each court, allowing greater diversity for all courts in the game. For Example, want to play the artic stadium that has ice and wind effects as defaults? now you can enjoy the wind effects without the slippery courts. Or say the Luigi's Mansion stage returns, now you can deal not only with ghosts, but add in slippery ice physics as well. This may also indicate other features you can deactivate. However at this point this is all conjecture
Playable Characters: As of right now there are 8 revealed characters, however New characters have been promised, and if recent trends are an indicator Rosalina, Nabbit, and the Koopalings are extremely likely, and Tennis tends not to drop characters. Also I'd say Egad is likely as well...now if only we could get Captain Syrup and K.Rool
Honestly, feels like we're due in for a mini-direct for this one yet, we haven't had a new demo since E3, and that video is the most info we've gotten since then. We are 4 weeks out from release, and we know nothing about the game modes themselves, nor have we gotten any of the new promised characters, although we could chalk up some of that to Nintendo's recent radio silence. If Mario Party, Mario Kart, and Splatoon are any indicator we are a week or two out from blanket ad marketing on the web and on children's channel. Personally I think info release is about to ratchet up, and that they'll start doing preview sessions in a week with various news outlets, and when things start flowing, they'll really flow
So any thoughts, speculation, hopes? Lets get some discussion going
Edit: Site page is up, however Full site is not yet completed
http://mariotennis.nintendo.com/ultra-smash/ , same info for the most part, but a silhouette confirms Yoshi, and we have control reconfirmation

Between the lines
Control your character’s every movement on the court, choosing the correct shot and timing it just right to outwit your opponent.
