- The announcer's voice has been changed to a more, older male voice.

Reception
The game has positive to mixed reviews. Most news outlets praised the addition of online multiplayer, but questioned whether it would be able to keep the gameplay fresh, and continue to attract 'casual gamers' who were fans of the original. Nintendo Life's Thomas Whitehead said that it has "...the potential to be rather important for the Wii U’s Holiday sales performance." Other praise was aimed at Nintendo's new pricing models and options, although some commented that the total purchase price of all sports may be too excessive.
