Later tonight, Mario Tennis Aces’ latest update will be going live. Version 2.0.1 is making changes to the shot system, characters, and more.

The full patch notes are as follows:

Fans are starting to wonder even more about a possible Mario + Rabbids sequel or other collaborations due to some news that is spreading around today. Ubisoft has been sending out emails to certain folks in France that asks about a variety of Mario characters and their opinions of them. These include Daisy, Bowser and Bowser Jr., Waluigi, and more.
