Mario Tennis Fever Leans Way Harder on the ’Mario’ than the ‘Tennis’
Mario Tennis Fever uses 30 unique rackets with special effects and fighting-game counters to create a fresh, chaotic tennis experience on the upcoming Switch 2.
- Mario Tennis Fever launches on Feb. 12 exclusively for Switch 2, previewers calling it a rambunctious sports entry reminiscent of the original Nintendo 64 game.
- Fever Rackets form the game's central mechanic and change match flow, as developer Camelot shifted from universal special moves to 30 Fever Rackets across nearly 40 characters.

- Nintendo leans into local 2v2 play as a core selling point, clearly prioritizing local 2v2 multiplayer, couch-focused mode, while online modes offer less direct interaction; pre-orders are live now ahead of February 12.
- Nintendo is under investor pressure over storage and component costs, the $35 Wonder Flower toy appears in Mario Tennis Fever demos, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park DLC arrives Mar. 26.
