"Switch 2 fans have a new Mario Tennis game to look forward to early next year. During Friday's Direct presentation, Nintendo announced Mario Tennis Fever. It's the first new entry in the long-running series since the release of Mario Tennis Acesin 2018. The new game will be a Switch 2 exclusive, with Nintendo promising plenty of tweaks to an established formula. For one, there are new defensive moves your character can take, including slides and dives, to prevent your opponent from scoring a point."
"These essentially allow you to snowball against your opponent by building a rally gauge and then executing a "fever shot." The effect of these depend on the racket you have equipped. For example, the ice racket will freeze a part of the court, while the mini mushroom racket will shrink your opponents, making it harder for them to cover their side of the court, if they're hit by its projectiles. There are 30 fever rackets to try."
