During the September Direct, Nintendo announced Mario Tennis Fever, due to launch on February 12, 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2.
Today’s big Nintendo Direct event included the announcement of Mario Tennis Fever, the tenth game in this specific Mario-branded sports series. The last one was 2018’s Mario Tennis Aces, which launched for the original Nintendo Switch with a fairly positive reception from critics and fans. Back then, the game got an 8 out of 10 score from Wccftech reviewer Dave Aubrey, who wrote:
Mario Tennis Aces is one of the best Mario Tennis games, and well worth it for gamers that love to sit back with groups of friends. If you appreciate a good game of tennis with some whacky rules to spice it all up, you’ll surely enjoy this.
