Hit the court for explosive action in the latest Mario Tennis game!
Join Mario and friends for over-the-top tennis mayhem! Use topspins, slices, lobs, and other familiar shots—along with other fancy footwork and new defensive maneuvers—to outpace your opponents on the court. Keep a rally going, build up your Fever Gauge, and unleash powerful Fever Shots that can be augmented with special effects by equipping Fever Rackets!
Freeze the court with the Ice Racket, summon mushrooms that shrink opponents with the Mini Mushroom Racket, duplicate yourself with the Shadow Racket, and more. Mix and match 30 different Fever Rackets with 38 playable characters, the most in series history, to find a strategy that works for you.
Serve Up Casual or Competitive Play in a Variety of Game Modes
Get play-by-play commentary from a Talking Flower in Tournament mode, test your skills and complete various objectives in Trial Towers mode, or take on matches with unexpected rules—and even some Wonder Effects—in Mix it Up mode. Hop online* for casual bouts with customizable rules with an Online Room or go for glory in competitive Ranked Matches. You can even gently swing your Joy-Con™ 2 controller like a racket for a more authentic experience in Swing Mode.
Experience a story in which Mario and friends, encountering monsters on a remote island, find themselves transformed into babies! Help them relearn their tennis skills and defeat the monsters to return to normal in Adventure mode.

I’ll have to watch later this evening. This is a sleeper hit, mark my words. Mario Golf & Mario Strikers definitely were lowlights of the Switch gen, but Tennis Aces was a slam-dunk IMO. From all that I’ve seen, Fever looks to be even better.
IMO I thought all the Nintendo-made sports games on Switch were horribly lackluster. Golf, Strikers, Switch sports, Tennis (not sure if there were any others...maybe there was a baseball game too?)....really just sad low effort games by Nintendo. Sports games were definitely the low point for the Switch. Tennis might have been the best of the bunch, but that's not saying a lot. Hopefully Nintendo does indeed put more effort in and Fever is better than last gen.
Agreed. It’s shocking just how much of a discrepency exists between the Nintendo sports games & al other titles from Switch generation!
Here’s to hoping for a Nintendo Sports renaissance.
I hope they add online events ("Grand Slams") just like the Splatfests in Splatoon to keep the people playing the game online...
This had better be a damn good Mario Tennis game to justify the $70 asking price. Mario Sports games have been quite hit or miss recently. Strikers was particularly disappointing and I'd been greatly looking forward to that series returning after loving the GC/Wii titles.
I think Nintendo need to better utilise that "Variable Pricing" for games they were talking about.
looks great, to bad i have no friends to place this with
Boss fights? I may have to pick it up sometime. ^^
