PCMagFeb 20264.5/5 starsAn arcade sports game with wild offensive and defensive mechanics, Mario Tennis Fever is a must-have Switch 2 game that I recommend to anyone who fancies a bonkers spin on traditional racket competition.

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyFeb 20262.5/5 starsOn the Game Cube app, there is Mario Strikers. That is an excellent example of a time where Nintendo and its party sports developers had a handle over the balance between capturing the basics of the sport and making it arcade fun. Now, though, they’ve lost the plot entirely. I genuinely don’t understand who this is for, but it isn’t me. Or anyone that I know who loved what Mario Tennis once was.

TheGamerStacey HenleyFeb 20263/5 starsIf you’re buying Mario Tennis Fever to have a few rounds of tennis with friends the way you would Mario Kart, then you’ll have a good time. It’s a solid arcade tennis game with some unique powers and cute character moments. But as an overall experience, it’s shallow, a little unbalanced, deeply lacking in creativity, and seems to deliver the bare minimum of options outside of its roster and rackets.
