After the rather unfortunate release of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash on the Wii U, it seems like Camelot is really bringing its A-game for the follow-up in Mario Tennis Aces. Early footage of the game has been promising and the inclusion of a single player story mode seems like it’ll inject plenty of diverse gameplay options. There’s a lot we still don’t know about the game, however, but a new Switch advert recently revealed the player roster.
If you check out the above video, the ending shows the character select screen, which shows Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Daisy, Rosalina, Toad, Toadette, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Boo, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Spike, and Chain Chomp. That already seems to be a healthy lineup, but we wouldn’t be surprised if there were a couple unlockable characters thrown in there, too.

What do you think? Will you be getting Mario Tennis Aces? Who else would you like to see on the roster? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Fingers crossed it's superb!
They pretty much have everyone I love already, and some I dont.
Nothing wrong with Spike but he's just surprising to see. Regardless, I like the roster. It has Toadette, Waluigi, and Chain Chomp, so I'm good! Wiggler is all that's left that I want!
Needs more Shy Guy.
What no Toadbert?
Need Mii as playable characters for Mario Tennis Aces.
Players can mix & match the outfits to create Best looking Tennis player.
Spike was in MP10 and now he's in this. The little guy deserves to be in Mario Kart honestly.
I hope they have Dry Bones as an unlockabke character as he is my main in Mario kart. If not guess I'll main Rosalina
I just play as Peach in almost every Mario sports game and spinoff so I never really care what the overall roster looks like.
Expected the father to crash when he took his eyes off the road.
RIP Miis
Personally can’t wait for the inevitable Chain Chomp amiibo
I hope Pauline is unlockable. Really hope we see more of her in Mario spin off games.
They should branch out to more niche Mario characters. Fawful, anyone?
Pauline or bust.
Lots of space for more characters to unlock there!
@PiplupJ : Yes! I was a little bummed that Pauline was absent from Mario Party 10 and Mario Kart 8.
And when will we get to meet Wapeach and Wadaisy?
Chain Chomp? Awesome
Probably crazy but here's hoping for Blooper too 😂
I just hope Chain Chomp eats his racket when he wins.
@BenAV Peach it! I mean, preach it!
Love it. Koopa Troopa is unlockable in the online tournaments. Shy guy was always good at tennis
Eh, I just can't get into tennis. The only thing that made it fun on Wii was the motion control gimmick. But that doesn't last long.
Petey Piranha 🤞🏻
I’ve got a two year old daughter named Daisy, so she’s my go-to character. And I’ll definitely be getting Aces - normal mode looked fantastic; the special features mode, not so much (but happy to be converted)
Next time put ARMS in the ad!
I hope they make more trailers like last year's superbowl one appealing to an older audience. They've got lots of games to do that with now
I really hope this game is good coz the last was awful, story mode needs to be good and a decent amount of unlockable characters (unlocking them properly with no online crap required) and have a great 2player split screen and! 2 player using two switches
I know this is one of the "Hey casual gamers, remember the Wii?" range (though many of us had all that therapy precisely so that we wouldn't ever have to...) but still, I hope they don't market Mario Tennis Aces as a motion control only game like they did with ARMS...
No koopa? 🙁 also feel diddy has been ignored a lot in recent games.
Koopa on gamecube was my goto for all sports games.
What an awesome commercial. I’m such a sucker for Nintendo. Really love them. Love how this shows all the fun, creative ways you can use the Switch & how versatile it is. Nintendo has got me to buy two Switches already but I think I may have to triple dip and get a Switch for myself too. Really enjoy playing with my kids. Even my wife, who hates video games (and most electronics in general) has fallen victim. I came home the other day and she was playing Puyo Puyo Tetris in handheld mode on the couch. Think it’s the first time in our 16 years together I’ve seen her play a video game by herself.
If I don’t get Delfino Isle Citizen #7 I’ll scream.
@sillygostly
Psst...
WaPeach (Warui Peach) = B###h
@Darkwario1 I’m with you but I think citizen #8 is more fitting
No Diddy Kong?
@DABYX Koopa was shown to be the first unlockable character during the announcement.
As long as Waluigi is in there, I'll get it.
Is this a Nintendo Add?
Or an add for sexy dads?
Good ad. Interesting to see as much emphasis on people being together and socially bonding “thanks to Switch”.
Puts Nintendo far away from the strategic spaces of PS and Xbox as well as hunched over phone gamers.
I assume its the small chain chomp from SMB3.
Judging from this video, the 0.01% look like they are really hurting… I feel sorry for them. Let’s give them a bigger tax cut
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where is birdo? If no birdo give me koopa troopa! I hope there are unlock-able characters.
I'd love the old powerups... I miss n64 and GC...
I'm hoping for
Pauline, Spixies, Shy Guy, Miis, birdo, Boo, that purple rabbit theft from New Super Mario Bros U.
Since they did mention that more characters will come out in the future, this is exciting!
I can see them make a couple of tournaments, have first place player have the character a week or so early before releasing it to the public... Great way for a good trophy
@SwitchVogel I think you left Peach out of the article, when you listed the characters. Just a heads-up! 😊
Also, pretty sure this [video] confirms that Team Soccer will win the Splatfest.
What are all these kids doing with my adult hipster machine?
@link3710 Ah right! Cheers for the heads up 😊👍
Im hoping for Sprixie Princess to come back and for Prince Peasley and Goombella to make surprise appearances.
Normally not much of a tennis-kinda dude. But this looks rad.
Does Splatoon not require internet connection? ya I know pops has wifi in his SUV and the kids found a hot spot on the steps at soccer practice but they make it looks easy to always be connected in these advertisments
I also hope Tennis isnt only motion arm flapping mode, it does support handheld and docked with a controller right?
I'll be ret2-go when this drops.
Don't have much time for the video
However-- I will express my desire for a Pianta.
This video even more confirms for me that if they manage to nail the motion controls on Mario tennis it be a day one. And even if motion controls are lacking it will more than likely be a day one but of course i hope motion controls are good!.
