Mario Tennis Fever Announced, Launches February 2026 For Nintendo Switch 2

In Super Mario’s rich history, his legacy of platformers & racing titles is also accompanied by themed sports titles as well. For the Nintendo Switch specifically, we’ve recognized this with periodic releases. From games like Mario Tennis Aces to Mario Golf: Super Rush, and even the most recent being Super Mario Strikers: Battle League as well.

Rectify Gaming reviewed the title scoring it an 8/10. “In the end Mario Strikers: Battle League lacks a variety of game modes to play online as you can mainly only do quick play matches where you’ll either find very casual players or extreme competitors. […] There is a solid dedicated player base for this game there’s no doubt, but for someone who is new to the series it can be challenging at first potentially making some to not wanna play again online.”

Now this week at the Nintendo Direct, Nintendo revealed Mario Tennis Fever is set to release on Nintendo Switch 2 later this February in 2026. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

“Swing into action with 30 different Fever Rackets, each with their own special abilities, and 38 playable characters – the most in series history. Pair topspins, slices, lobs and other familiar shots with new slide moves and defense-focused footwork. There are multiple modes to enjoy including Tournament, Trial Towers, Mix It Up mode (with Wonder effects!), and Adventure mode, where Mario and friends are transformed into babies and must defeat monsters to return to normal. Plus, experience Joy-Con 2 motion controls with Swing Mode!”

Also on the menu for Super Mario, Nintendo revealed that Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 is on the way as well. Both games will ship on Nintendo Switch & Nintendo Switch 2 later in October. A physical release for the bundle is also promised as well. You can read the full report by heading here.
