Nintendo's most famous plumber is returning to the courts next year with Mario Tennis Fever on Switch 2. Announced during the Nintendo Direct for September 2025, the game will launch for Switch 2 on February 12, 2026.
The key new feature Nintendo is highlighting is the Fever shot, a big shot you can unleash after filling a meter. The shot's effect changes depending on the racket you have equipped, leaving effects like big ice patches or mushrooms that'll turn your opponent tiny. There'll be 30 different Fever rackets to choose from, and you can mix and match them with the 38 playable characters.
