Last year, Nintendo lifted the lid on a brand new Mario Tennis<\/a> game for the Switch 2. It’s called Mario Tennis Fever<\/a> and will be launching next month on 12th February 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We’ve not really seen or heard much about it since then, but now that the new year is officially underway (and the tennis pro tour is back at it<\/em>), Nintendo has taken a brief moment out of its schedule to remind Switch 2 owners that this new entry will offer a stacked roster. In fact, in case you missed it, it’s got the “most” playable characters in the series’ history.<\/p>\n

This includes not only Daisy and Peach but also “36 other characters”, and there’s also a chance Nintendo could expand on this with updates. In comparison, Mario Tennis Aces<\/a> on the Switch ended with a total of 30 playable characters (including unlockable and DLC characters).<\/p>\n

Nintendo:<\/strong> “This should be easy. Pre-order #MarioTennisFever and play as Daisy, Peach, and 36 other characters”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Some of the other characters include Donkey Kong, Bowser, the Baby Mario crew, Rosalina, Yoshi and even Petey Piranha. Although a lot of characters have been spotted, the full roster hasn’t been confirmed just yet. There’ll also be 30 different “Fever Rackets”, featuring their own special abilities.<\/p>\n

Along with the large roster, players can also expect multiple modes including Tournament, Trial Towers, Mix It Up Mode (including Wonder effects), an Adventure Mode, and there’ll also be Joy-Con 2 motion controls for the game’s Swing Mode.<\/p>\n
