Last year, Nintendo lifted the lid on a brand new Mario Tennis game for the Switch 2. It’s called Mario Tennis Fever and will be launching next month on 12th February 2026.
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, 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, it’s got the “most” playable characters in the series’ history.
It’s done this by sharing a quick post on social media about how Daisy and Peach will be part of the roster along with “36 other characters”.
Nintendo: “This should be easy. Pre-order #MarioTennisFever and play as Daisy, Peach, and 36 other characters”
Some of the other characters include Donkey Kong, Bowser, the Baby Mario crew, Rosalina, Yoshi and even characters like Petey Piranha. While a lot of characters have been spotted, there are many other characters that haven’t been confirmed just yet. There’ll also be 30 different “Fever Rackets”, featuring their own special abilities.
Along with this, players can 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.
