Mario Tennis Fever announced for Nintendo Switch 2

Mario Tennis Fever is in the works for Nintendo Switch 2, it’s just been announced. The game launches on February 12, 2025.

38 playable characters will be included, which is the most in series history. There’ll be a Tournament Mode, the Trial Towers Mode, Mix It Up Mode (with Wonder Effects from Super Mario Bros. Wonder), and online support. You can also swing your Joy-Con like a racket in another mode. On top of that, a story mode is included in which Mario and the rest of the gang are transformed into babies.

Here’s what Nintendo is saying about the game thus far:

Swing into action with 30 different Fever Rackets, each with their own special abilities, and 38 playable characters – the most in series history. Pair topspins, slices, lobs and other familiar shots with new slide moves and defense-focused footwork. There are multiple modes to enjoy including Tournament, Trial Towers, Mix It Up mode (with Wonder effects!), and Adventure mode, where Mario and friends are transformed into babies and must defeat monsters to return to normal. Plus, experience Joy-Con 2 motion controls with Swing Mode!
