Nintendo and development partner Camelot have officially released the opening cinematic for Mario Tennis Fever, giving fans an early look at the latest entry in the celebrated Mario Tennis franchise.
The opening video, which appears immediately when players start up the game, sets the energetic tone for what is poised to be Nintendo Switch 2’s flagship sports title. Mario Tennis Fever, developed by Camelot, arrives exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 and represents a significant milestone for both the series and its creators.
This new installment boasts the largest roster yet, offering players 38 distinct characters, surpassing any previous Nintendo tennis title.
Building on classic gameplay mechanics, Mario Tennis Fever introduces 30 unique Fever Rackets, each with its own special abilities, giving players the opportunity to experiment with powerful new strategies. Players familiar with the series will appreciate the return of signature tennis techniques, including topspins, slices, and lobs.
Mario Tennis Fever elevates the competitive experience further by integrating new slide moves and defense-focused footwork, ensuring both seasoned fans and newcomers will find innovative ways to master the court. Game modes are designed to offer variety and replayability.
The Tournament mode brings the excitement of competitive tennis to life, while Trial Towers allow for solo skill refinement.
The all-new Mix It Up mode features Wonder effects that can dramatically alter gameplay, and Adventure mode delivers a whimsical story where Mario and friends are turned into babies and must battle monsters in order to transform back to their original forms. Taking advantage of Nintendo Switch 2 hardware innovations, Mario Tennis Fever features enhanced Swing Mode.
With improved Joy-Con 2 motion controls, players can physically swing their controllers for a more immersive, intuitive tennis experience. In a recent statement, a Nintendo spokesperson described the project as "the culmination of years of innovation and fan feedback," adding that Camelot has worked closely with Nintendo to push the boundaries of sports gameplay on the newest Nintendo platform. Mario Tennis Fever is scheduled for release on February 12, 2026, available exclusively via the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop and at select retailers worldwide.
As anticipation builds, fans can now enjoy the vibrant opening movie and get a taste of the colorful courts, creative characters, and innovative gameplay that await.
