Mario Tennis Aces is just a few short months away, so, as is custom in the build-up to a game, some extra content has unwittingly been revealed in a Japanese pre-order campaign. That extra content seemingly revealing three new characters that may well be joining the roster in June.
The Japanese pre-order gives you access to an officially-licensed bag, which just happens to include special icon badges for each character on the roster. But among the usual suspects we see three potential players we haven't seen in footage thus far - Birdo, Diddy Kong and the Koopa Paratrooper.
Of course, Nintendo hasn't officially confirmed any of the characters that may be coming to Mario Tennis Aces - if any - post-launch, but such an item does strongly suggest ol' Diddy and pals are set to bring up the numbers on the virtual courts.
Let us know what you make of these rumoured additions below and if you'll be taking any of them to tennis glory when Mario Tennis Aces arrives on 22nd June...

Right when I thought Birdo may have faded away since MK8.
Birdo better be in! I was "upset" birdo hasn't been confirmed yet. Paratrooper is very welcome too!
@Nintendoforlife Yeah, I'm still surprised Diddy and her were not in the game.
OT: I feel like those 3 will be added later through free DLC.
Sucks to be Japan. They only get one "Ace" whereas we get plural...
I guess it's highly likely that these three will just be unlockable characters? They've already confirmed that there will be unlockables, and the ones we've seen are all defaults.
Please, Playable Miis...
Nintendo please let Captian Toad in the game ❤️
@ImagineerNik I think it sounds kinda nice in it's own right; it gives the name kind of a dual meaning, like "This game is totally ace!"
Never played a tennis game before.dont like sports.this will be my first one.
Why do I feel like this game is gonna have a better roster than Mario Kart 8
@Anti-Matter I want Miis playable, too, but unfortunately it seems Nintendo is trying to move away from them after the Wii/3DS years
Paratroopa, YES! He was always my double partner in Power Tennis with Yoshi and he was really amazing, it's gonna be good having him back.
@MonkiPlays How did you manage to buy 8 Xbox One games?
Great news! I really cannot wait for this game. They aren't saying much about it just yet..but there will be a free online demo of it like Arms did. I wonder when that will be
I hope they include Geralt of Rivia
Does anyone know if pre-order is up already on the eshop?
Birdo is back❣️
...paratroopa?
Do you need online to get unlockable characters??? Or anything unlockable lol
What happened to my favorite character toadsworth?
@Tulio517 I don't understand why anyone would pre-order a digtal copy of a game. It is not like they would run out of copies. Is there a reason I haven't thought of?
...Paratroopa, Not Paratrooper. lol
It’ll be interesting to see how this game will sell. I don’t recall too much excitement when it was announced.
@Lameborghini Nah... Doomguy is where it's at!
He'd RIP N TEAR through the court!
I'm on the fence about this. If you told me this game was going to be as good as Mario Golf on the 3DS, it would be a no brainer. If however if it's the quality of Camelot's more recent games, I won't touch it withe a bargepole.
