Following on from the news that Fire Piranha Plant is joining the Mario Tennis Aces roster in June, Nintendo's Japanese website also confirms that Dry Bowser will be coming to the game the following month. With only the above image showing the King of the Koopas in his slimmer form, the text of the website confirms he'll arrive on 1st July with a different play style from his healthier self.
This isn't a massive surprise as his name appeared on a list of potential characters datamined from the game last year, and he also featured in the lineup for the disappointing Wii U outing Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash.
A huge improvement on the previous home console entry in the series, we liked Mario Tennis Aces a lot when it came out and with the tweaks and additions made over the last year, it's still a cracking digital rendition of hitting a little yellow ball over a net. In lieu of a video for this new addition to Mario Tennis Aces, feel free to enjoy the announcement video for Dry Bowser's previous court appearance:

He is also the last character that will be added to Mario Tennis Aces
Not really fan of Bowser and the Dry Bones version.
I do really hope Nintendo can make their compilation of Sports where we can create our avatar, dress them with fancy outfits and we can use Mii as well.
No cat bowser
@Anti-Matter I myself hate avatar system in game series which have variety of unique characters
I think the roster in this game is weird and wonderful. They can take more roster risks, and include more weird/fun characters in the sports games.
Why don't Nintendo just bring all the characters from Smash Bros to this game? I'd like to play tennis with Bayonetta and Solid Snake.
I was holding onto a shred of hope that Nintendo would capitalize on K. Rool’s resurgence in popularity and add him to this game, like they did in Mario Baseball back on Wii and GameCube (DK and Diddy are already there). Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
Hmm... this is slightly related, but this made me think, I wonder why Giga Bowser hasn’t appeared in a main line Super Mario game. 🤔
So long, Dry Bowser!
@nintendolie
I don't want any Mature game characters from Smash Bros ruin the innocence of Mario Tennis Aces. 😒
This game keeps giving.
Only thing that stings is that the online is dead
Is it confirmed he is last character?
If they could add to Mario Kart and Mario Party that'd be great!
Best Husbando...just isn't a alt in another game that I would use him in.
@OneOneTwo-112
Odyssey and Kirby and probably a few I’m forgetting also had this same year of support, something about it bothers me and I don’t know why I guess it just feels too orchestrated like all this stuff was roadmapped before the game even released.
@nintendolie legal reasons. Samurai has been vocal about the amount of effort involved in negotiating with third parties.
@Cartune Too intense/scary for standard Mario audience likely.
