Ahead of its release next week, Nintendo is unleashing a demo for Mario Tennis Fever at select retail outlets in the US. On its official website, you’ll find links to Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart, all which should have the demo available for play on the Nintendo Switch 2 demo kiosks. It might be particularly hard to find a GameStop location currently, but the other stores should have the demo set up and ready to play.

We’re not sure what the demo contains, but it’s the only chance you’ll have to try out the game before launch. Curiously, Nintendo has defaulted to doing in-store demos for a lot of Nintendo Switch 2 games despite both the Wii U and Switch getting downloadable ones. At the same time, these demos usually hit the eShop a month or so after the game releases, so you won’t have to rely on travel just to smash some aces on the court.
Mario Tennis Fever release date
Mario Tennis Fever will hit Switch 2 on February 12th, 2026. You can also pre-order it on Amazon today.
